What GPU is roughly on base PS5 level?

A Radeon RX 6700 is a reasonable rough comparison for the PS5’s graphics hardware. An RTX 3060 Ti is another ballpark reference, though the match shifts depending on the game and settings.

That’s a comparison of graphics capability, not a promise that both systems will run every game the same way. Console games can use fixed hardware and platform-specific settings, so the PC version may behave differently.

For a quick shopping shortlist, look around the RX 6700 or RTX 3060 Ti class. If you’re comparing newer cards, an RTX 4060 can also be a useful point of reference, but don’t treat any of these as a precise one-to-one equivalent.

One thing to watch: people often say RX 6700 and RX 6700 XT as if they’re interchangeable, but the XT is a faster card. The base PS5 is generally closer to the non-XT 6700 as a rough hardware comparison.

Actual results still depend on the game, resolution, and graphics settings. A PC needs a capable CPU alongside the GPU, too, so matching the graphics card alone won’t guarantee matching console performance.
