PS5 GPU Specs
The PS5 GPU is a special gaming GPU made by AMD. Since the PS5 is a console and not a computer, the GPU (which is named Oberon) can output better framerates and VRAM versus a traditional PC GPU. Architecture: RDNA 2.0 VRAM: 16 GB GDDR6 Performance (FP32): 10.29 TFLOPS Clock Speed: 2.23 GHz DirectX: Not supported Release Date: November 12, 2020 Launch Price: $499 USD
AMD Radeon RX 6700
The Radeon RX 6700 is a similar PC GPU also made by AMD. The RX 6700 has less VRAM and a slightly slower base clock speed, but it has slightly better performance overall. Architecture: RDNA 2.0 VRAM: 10 GB GDDR6 Performance (FP32): 11.29 TFLOPS Clock Speed: 1.94 GHz base speed, 2.17 GHz game clock speed, 2.45 GHz boost clock speed DirectX: Up to 12 Ultimate Release Date: June 9th, 2021 Launch Price: $479 USD
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
The GeForce RTX 3070 is a comparable NVIDIA GPU to the AMD Oberon. It's hard to find an NVIDIA GPU that matches memory, clock speed, performance, and launch price point with Oberon, but the RTX 3070 sacrifices a little memory and speed for much higher performance at the same launch price as Oberon. Architecture: Ampere VRAM: 8 GB GDDR6 Performance (FP32): 20.31 TFLOPS Clock Speed: 1.5 GHz base speed, 1.72 Ghz boost clock speed DirectX: Up to 12 Ultimate Release Date: September 1st, 2020 Launch Price: $499 USD
Newer GPUs
Some newer GPUs are stronger than the PS5's Oberon. Even over the past four years, GPUs continue to get stronger. While these GPUs hover around the same VRAM and clock speeds as Oberon, the performance has increased quite a bit. Below are some comparable newer GPUs (as of the writing of this article): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB. A newer GPU with similar VRAM and clock speeds to the Oberon, but with much higher performance. Architecture: Ada Lovelace VRAM: 16 GB GDDR6 Performance (FP32): 22.06 TFLOPS Clock Speed: 2.31 GHz base speed, 2.53 GHz boost clock speed DirectX: Up to 12 Ultimate Release Date: May 18th, 2023 Launch Price: $499 USD NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. A 2024 NVIDIA release that has slightly less memory and base clock speed, but a major increase in GPU performance. Architecture: Ada Lovelace VRAM: 12 GB GDDR6X Performance (FP32): 35.48 TFLOPS Clock Speed: 1.98 GHz base speed, 2.47 GHz boost clock speed DirectX: Up to 12 Ultimate Release Date: January 8th, 2024 Launch Price: $599 USD AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT. A high-end AMD GPU that's similar to the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super in specs and outperforms the Oberon. Architecture: RDNA 3.0 VRAM: 12 GB GDDR6 Performance (FP32): 35.17 TFLOPS Clock Speed: 1.43 GHz base speed, 2.17 GHz game clock speed, 2.54 GHz boost clock speed DirectX: Up to 12 Ultimate Release Date: August 25th, 2023 Launch Price: $449 USD AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT. Another entry in the RX 7000 series, the RX 7800 XT is another great choice that has the same launch price as the PS5's Oberon but with higher specs. Architecture: RDNA 3.0 VRAM: 16 GB GDDR6 Performance (FP32): 37.32 TFLOPS Clock Speed: 1.29 GHz base speed, 2.12 GHz game clock speed, 2.43 GHz boost clock speed DirectX: Up to 12 Ultimate Release Date: August 25th, 2023 Launch Price: $499 USD
