Linus Tech Tips: The PS5 Pro Killer Gaming PC (Here we go again)



It took us 3 years to build the PS5 Killer and now we’re conspiring to murder the Pro in less than a week. It can’t be that hard, right? That $200 price bump EVERYONE is angry about gives us A LOT of extra budget when it comes to assembling our brand new PS5 PRO KILLER… Better GPU? What about a new Platform for our Ram and CPU?

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
its funny because normally these kind of youtube videos attracts the attention of PCMR the most.Majority of his viewers are PCMR.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
He is outright saying it's all tongue in cheek in this very video. I don't really watch the guy, but I feel like people are way over-triggered by stuff like this.

It really proves how great of a deal the PS5 systems are, not the other way around, and Linus is barely trying to hide that.

He says "second hand parts are necessary to beat your wonderful machine" lol.

So, FSR-powered GPU, no onboard wifi 7, no bt 5.1, no cost of controller, no cost of shipping, fantasy NA prices... Plus one can argue that this is loud midtower, let's compare the prices after shrinking both the size and the noize to PS5 Pro footprint. Yeah, bud, sure.

Those videos are disingenuous at their very core, but FSR vs PSSR GPU thing literally a low point even for LTT.

TLDR: If you buy the parts new instead of used (lol) the PC is actually $904 and out of the 3 games they tested (TLOU1, Rift Apart and Dragon Age) one is about the same (TLOU), 1 looks slightly better but runs worse (DA) and 1 is just straight up worse (Rift Apart).
So you are spending an extra $200 for something that at best will be "about the same" in SOME games.

The pro is expensive but it's still giving you good value and the fact you can't really match consoles in terms of value (at least at launch) continues to be true.
It's probably going to be different in 2 years with different PC parts while the Pro will probably still be $700, but at that point beating a machine that's probably soon going to be replaced by the Ps6 isn't going to mean much.
