but I imagine it would be hard to get Linux to work well with the surface - especially the touch screen.

There’s a dedicated Linux kernel for Surface devices. Surfaces are your best bet for installing Linux out of any of the Windows tablets.

Needless to say, PS5… normals, or whatever, are going to be even weaker than the ‘somewhere between an rx 6600 and rx 6700’ rough equivalence.

There is no need to speculate or dial anything in, the article above literally compared that exact game side by side with the base model Playstation 5.

Cyberpunk 2077 in the 30fps RT mode on PS5, but a part of the market in the Phantom Liberty expansion definitely has issues - but not as many issues as the RX 6700. The PS5 outperforms is by 45 percent - a remarkable state of affairs that is not matched in performance mode, where the 6700 seems much the same as PlayStation 5.

People are not trying to replicate the Sony’s console hardware layout, they are trying to have the same gaming experience. I’m not sure how I can make it any clearer than pointing out an article which showed that the 6700 has similar performance across 7 separate games to the base Playstation 5. Not the Playstation 5 Pro, the base Playstation 5. If you believe that the tflop numbers are more credible than just running games to see how they perform, then I believe your priorities are misplaced with respect to the end goal of playing video games on this hypothetical PC build.

Short version: The PS5Pro would be a wildly lopsided, nonsensical architecture to try to one to one replicate in a desktop PC… 2 GB system RAM will run lightweight linux os’s, but not a chance in hell you could run Windows 10 or 11 on that.

Fuck, even getting 7 to work with 2GB RAM would be quite a challenge… if not impossible, I think 7 required 4GB RAM minimum?

It’s shared memory, so you would need to guarantee access to 16gb on both ends.

The RX 6600 in the partpicker list is fairly close in terms of GPU performance.

I don’t know how you could arrive at such a conclusion, considering that the base PS5 has been measured to be comparable to the 6700.

2060 super for 300, and then another 200 for a decent processor puts you ahead of a ps5 and for a comparable price.

you’re going to have to really scrunge up for deals in order to get psu, storage, memory, motherboard, and a case for your remaining budget of $0.

This is $150 more expensive and the gpu is half as performant as the reported PS5 pro equivalent.

Yes, Jeep, owned by Stellantis who also owns Dodge.

Yes, I can see how you might not want to boycott a company if you’re worried about them not making money because of it.

Perhaps his friends do not have smart phones, because they do not want smart phones.
