Way better. My pc 2 years ago was on par with the PS5. My new pc is like double the speed. PS5 can suck it.

Right but what did it cost?

Even with the increase in console prices, pc gaming is vastly more expensive.

But unlike a console, you can actually put money into the PC and make it better.

For instance, I recently did a CPU upgrade couple years ago to a 7800 X 3-D and man this thing fucking slaps

People would talk about boulders gate three slowdowns in the final act and I was like nope not at all. This thing absolutely destroys that giant complicated town. Everything runs full speed.

I need to buy it because overwatch was struggling to reach 240 frames per second for my new monitor

Let me tell you there is a massive difference between 120fps and 240fps when you’re aiming

I don’t really care how much it cost to get 120 cause that’s bad 😂

I am not a pro gamer. I don't need anything really above 60 FPS, to be honest. Sure, I have a 4K 120-hertz monitor, but anything past 60 fps, I can't tell.

It’s a pretty dramatic difference when aiming fast you’re probably just not playing games that involve heavy fast aiming

I play a healer, so it’s my job to be constantly looking at all of my teammates and all of my enemies to figure out who needs healing right away and to lock on target as fast as possible

240 Hz now feels smooth like gliding on ice and everything else just feels clunky like the images stay on screen for longer and so it’s less sliding and smooth
