According to a new rumor, the PlayStation 5 will have a powerful graphics card, but this is not yet the case for a PC with an Nvidia RTX 2080 GPU.
This will be good news for PC gamers as it means that the PC is still the best gaming platform.
While the PS5 with a GPU nearly identical to the RTX 2080 is a major update to the PlayStation 4, the fact that a next-gen gaming console has yet to be released, and that it should, will last at least five years - it can't match. A PC graphics card that has been out for almost a whole year will be a blow to those who expected the PS5 to be the most powerful gaming platform.
The rumor comes from Komachi, a well-known leak manager, who has posted alleged APU details that will be inside the PlayStation 5.

According to the leak, the GPU in the PlayStation 5 could run at 2 GHz, which is very impressive for a graphics card console, although it seems this is not the case with the RTX 2080 yet.
Another heck of a GPU
Although this leak suggests that the PS5 won't be able to match the performance of high-end enthusiast computers, that doesn't mean it's bad news.
For starters, this still means that the PS5 will be an incredibly powerful console and represents a huge leap forward from the PS4. Wccftech suggests that the PS5 GPU could beat the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics card, a recent AMD GPU.
Also, the RTX 2080 graphics card only costs € 719 (about GBP 570, or AU € 1,030), which is more expensive than the PS5 launch.
With dramatically improved graphics on the PS5 (to believe this rumor), this is also good news for PC gamers (and gamers in general) because it means that cross-platform games that appear on both PlayStation and PC are no longer available. will organize. back, at least for the moment.
At the PS5 launch, Nvidia and AMD will likely have even more powerful PC GPUs, which means if you're a gamer looking for maximum graphics power, PC is still the platform to go for.
