What’s realistically the minimum specs for ps5 like graphics.
Just curious. I’m OK how it runs for me and I’m planning a new PC when next gen GPUs come out.

So what’s the minimum specs for a PC to run this game at 1440p60 high settings and 4K30 high settings. Similar to ps5 graphics.

8 core 3700x and rx6700XT (12GB)?

I’m not sure that official specs are realistic.
Over optimistic, misleading or even a lie. There is a reason why so many people are so disappointed and frustrated.

Unfortunately there is currently no thing like "ps5 like graphics" as on ultra, the shadows casted by light sources do not work.

This was evidently recorded by Digital Foundry.

Strictly speaking, and according to what I've seen around the internet, a 2070/3060 PC with a processor to match (say, a 5600x or an 11600K) should be able to match a PS5 or a Series X provided a game works equally well on each.

Right now, you're going to need a much more powerful PC to run this game to PS5 standards, because the port is not very well optimized. Mind you, I'm pretty happy with how it runs on my PC with a similar configuration, but I still think there's heaps of room for improvement.

It would be reasonable to think that you should be able to run the game reasonably well on your PC, (although your CPU is kind of the weakest link overall in your setup), however, I would personally wait until Naughty Dog improves on the port before making any decisions.

While the game runs, right now, it would chug like a mofo in PS5 if it was released in this state on that console so what you'd need to make it run like on PS5 versus the PC equivalent to a PS5 right now is very different.

It’s irrelevant because this game is broken on PC. You can have PC better than what PS5 is equivalent to and probability is high you will have issues.

It’s also highly doubtful that the PS5 itself can run this broken PC port. It’ll cripple the PS5.

DF tested medium and ultra settings. Unfortunately they didn’t test high preset from ps5.
They also didn’t test what specific setting causes that bug and if changing a single setting from ultra to high would help.

I don’t think so. 8GB VRAM is not enough for 1440p high preset even with DLSS set to performance.

should work. the 3700x is literaly the ps5 cpu. should handle the load and the decompression with 2 more cores available.

the rx6700 is the same gpu as the ps5. the xt and 6800+ offer the overhead and additonal memory required for the ultra settings.

you defo need 32 gigs of ram. nvme gen 4 to match the ssd speed of the ps5.

Who says that the high preset on PC matches PS5 graphics?
Also if the shadow casting from stationary light sources work on high, why doesn't it on ultra?
Isn't ultra supposed to look better?

These are just rhetorical questions though.

I've played through this game once regular and once NG+, including Left Behind once.
And I enjoyed it. Couldn't care less about such visual differences, but the questions can be fairly asked.
Everyone can answer them themselves. ;)

As far as I know both 3700x and ps5 have 8 cores so there is no 2 extra cores for decompression.
Many people keep repeating that 3600 with only 6 cores is an equivalent to ps5. Even Digital Foundry repeated that false claim.

Anyway. I wonder if that CPU would be enough. My 3950x with similar gaming performance does great and gives 70-80fps but I have 16 cores. That’s usually wasted in other games but maybe used in this game. I wonder.

info came up that the ps5 reserves 2 cores to the OS. so... 6 cores are used for the game logic and rendering. that's the reasoning there. it is correct. if you load high textures, and those textures are 4x the size of medium, you need additional cores to compensate the lack of the hardware decompression present on the ps5. that's the other thing.

Do you know by any chance how much CPU power is used by windows?

Also these 2 cores on ps5 aren’t off. They are dedicated to different task but still helping games.

Many people including Digital Foundry at 12:13 in their video when looking at brick wall and textures.

So they say high preset is what looks like ps5 but choose different ones on PC and they say PC specs is similar but with 2 less cores and half of VRAM. It was not their best analysis.
