Not these days. Modern games have a ton of aim assist and in games where people play both (like Warzone), controller players win tournaments most of the time

I didn't realize that competitive console players had been reduced to arcade kiddies. That's a shame.

This thing kills my PS5 in graphics and loading times and I only play on a 1080P tv.

If you have a PS5 and don’t have an LG CX or C1, you aren’t getting but a fraction of what the console is capable of. I’m telling you—these TVs are AMAZING.

Can’t you get a 4k 120hz hdmi 2.1 capable TV a little cheaper than you can do so with a monitor? Also at twice the size. I’ve read a ton of people are actually using the 48” CX as a pc “monitor” in favor of these high end monitors. I’m guessing the downside is the response time?

On my phone at work now so too lazy to re-research this right now. But he emphasized only using a 1080p monitor so I just assumed he was under equipped on the console as well.

I just really don’t understand the argument. A PC build that performs closest to a PS5 would certainly be something similar to mine, right? 4K @ a steady 120hz requires some serious hardware. Getting your hands on a 6800XT alone right now would cost you more than double the entire console.

I feel like I’m being very objective and impartial being that I regularly play both and have extremely optimal setups for each.

Fwiw I think the 1ms response time is the most overrated monitor/tv spec there is. I can give frick all about it unless I’m gaming on a Zenith with the built in dvd player from 2002 or something

I do recognize response lag when it occurs without a “game mode” setting turned on. Once it’s turned on, whatever shite response time these TVs have is quicker than I can recognize.

What are you running 4k@120 fps on a PS5?


I'm actually on your side on this. I've always been a PC gamer, but with inflated component prices, I'm sticking with my PS5. My PC is 5 years old now and the PS5 blows it away, and to build a computer that can compete is just too costly. I dont play enough anymore to justify $2000 when my existing PC still easily handles the day-to-day stuff I do outside of gaming. I just play on my PS5, I don't play much FPS anyway.

No, it would be a PC like Steve was using for testing, using something like a 1060 6GB.

A PS5 can't play anything resembling a modern game at 4K native 120hz. Seriously. A PS5 generally has to use some significant upscaling (which isn't done all that well) to get modern games to a playable 60hz at 4K. Which is impressive for $500, but that's not what we're talking about.

Now you're moving back to value proposition, which isn't what your initial statement was. You said that the hardware in a PS5 blew your $4k gaming PC out of the water. Go play something other than Minecraft and you'll very quickly see how absurd that statement is.

I keep all games at performance mode bc 1440p 60fps >>>> 4k 30fps imo

I play R6Siege at 4K 120 “dynamic” resolution. Thinking of maybe trying out Assasins Creed Valhalla on each of my systems as a comparison now that we are all talking about it. Will do it soon and post the results and my thoughts. Fair enough everyone?

Also fwiw, after literal DAYS of troubleshooting and tweaking, I’ve got my PC performing much better. I was getting absurd high FPS numbers (which I expect) on every game I played but was experiencing disgusting stuttering and stuff no matter how low the settings. Turns out I fixed it on accident by reinstalling Radeon software and all driver. Don’t know wtf that was all about but it was awful and has been occurring ever since I built the PC. Didn’t even realize it wasn’t normal until we started talking about it really.

Yeah I’m sorry but you are not gonna get 4k 120 from a 1060. None of those older cards are ever hdmi 2.1 compatable.
