I actually mean better graphics, yes. I'm not sure what you mean by "numbers" (fps?), but I'm talking draw distance, shadows, grass details, etc. I was comparing Red Dead Redemption 2. We don't have other games in common.

My AMD card is a 5600 XT, bought in 2020 IIRC, right before prices exploded due to mining. I don't think the PS5 was out at the time. Anyway, I've never seen one, so I'd be hard-pressed to make any comparison with it.

I've also not tested this in person, but I seem to remember watching a recording of someone playing GTA V on a PS4, and the graphics didn't look as good as on my PC. But then, I don't know how the compression and whatnot affected the quality.

You may be right for Rockstar games. Last one I played on PC was San Andreas. I mean in theory as a game developer you can add larger textures and whatnot in a PC game. If you want to spend money on it.

My impression generally is that, especially for the PS5 generation, there is a negligible difference unless you want those 180 fps and 8k and 16x fake frames or whatever DLSS is.

I'm not a hardcore gamer, nor do I follow these things too closely so I may be off here, but if I compare the specs of a 5600XT and the PS4's GPU, the former seems quite a bit faster. On the other hand, the PS4 has unified memory, whereas my PC is running PCIe 3 and DDR3 (quad channel, but still).

As someone not particularly interested in the field (I own a PC because I need to do actual PC stuff, the "gaming" GPU I bought to kill time during covid lockdowns), my impression is that when a new generation console comes out, it's quite competitive with non-absurd PC builds. But PC GPUs tend to get noticeably better during the lifetime of the console. The PS4 came out 6 - 7 years before AMD released my GPU.

Its not what the GPUs can do. Its what the game devs find easy to support.
