Poll God of War Ragnarok, the PS5 vs PC analysis DF didn't do.. (5 votes)
and or rather wouldn't do!
This generation anyone else notice DF LOVES doing PS5 v PC comparison videos ...and other times they randomly just skip it?
God of War Ragnarök is one of those oddly skipped occasions.
After watching the analysis you may understand why.

Fantastic analysis from Michael Thomas, but why was DF a complete no show on this OBVIOUS comparison match up?
RESULTS?
- Ported by the same team who did GOW2018 Jetpack interactive
- Calls out other "tech sites" for not acknowledging that Vram & memory do impact performance. Emphasizing *min spec 6GB gfx cards need to run a everything LOW. PS5 runs textures on ULTRA to high, 8GB cards would be reach medium.
- PS5 runs spotlights in shadow details ABOVE ultra on PC

- Reflections also on PS5 also run ABOVE PC's ultra mode where PS5 has ray traced cube maps, BVH proxy Geo & SSR but PC only has running SSR

Here PC's Ultra looks to be even a step below PS5's *performance mode in reflections.

PS5 performance *NATIVE 1440p vs 2070 "1440p" DLSS quality (960p)
PS5 also shows a 40% - 60% advantage over this card running at higher resolutions

PS5 Quality 1800 - 4k DRS vs RX6800 native4k
The RX6800 (a card said to be on par with PS5 Pro) runs about 10% worse than PS5 while outputting a consistent native 4k resolution

PS5 performance 1440p vs RX6800 1440p
With identical resolutions PS5 manages a slightly higher average than 6800

- 1 last positive for PC is that a 4090 with a decent CPU can run the game Ultra setting native 4k at 120fps
My thoughts? I think DF (Alex Battaglia) DID do an analysis on GOWR comparing PS5 v PC. It would kind of be ridiculous not to considering he already did a comparison video for PS5 v PC after the GOW 2018 port. He simply didn't like the results, so...he decided not to publish the analysis.
Do you think DF will skip even more DIRECT PS5 v PC comparisons when PS5 Pro is brought in the picture and the results are even more skewed away from the usual PC advantage?
