## Key points

- RTX 2070 Super is the closest match to the base PS5.
- PC and console performance comparisons have important caveats.
- RTX 5060 Ti and RX 9060 XT are cited for PS5 Pro comparisons.

## Summary

The NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super is the closest match to the base PS5’s graphics performance, according to Digital Foundry, but the comparison has limits. The PS5 combines CPU and graphics processing in one APU, while a PC graphics card depends on the rest of the computer, so performance varies with the game and settings.

The 2070 Super has 8GB of GDDR6 memory and can deliver PS5-level performance in suitable conditions, but it launched in 2019 and is cited at about $280, roughly 53 per cent of the $600 PS5 Digital Edition price. The article says a new RTX 5060 costs around $500, while the PS5 Pro’s comparable graphics options include the 16GB RTX 5060 Ti and AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT; neither is a direct equivalent, and a capable PC can outperform the console with settings adjustments.
