PC fans rejoice: With a modern computer equipped with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super, you'll be able to run games using the impressive-looking Unreal Engine 5. And the results will be "pretty good."

Epic Games demonstrated the next-generation game engine running on PS5 hardware, and according to World Today News, the company's CTO, Kim Libreri, can run the "Land of Nanite" demo on mid- to high-end PCs, promising results, he explained, which is good news for those who just upgraded their PCs to the RTX 2070 Super, a powered-up version of the GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card released in 2018.

Notably, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super has a theoretical computing power of 9 teraflops, while the PS5 has 10.28 teraflops; the Xbox Series X tops out at 12 teraflops. Based on these numbers, the RTX 2070 Super hardly comes close to the total power of Sony's console. If a decent processor and a sufficient amount of RAM were built into a desktop PC, the machine could easily outperform the PS4.

However, building such a PC is not cheap: a GeForce RTX 2070 Super costs nearly $500 at Best Buy, which is the estimated price of a PS5. And adding other components to a decent gaming desktop PC will run you roughly $1,000 or more.

If you are interested in PC gaming and the flexibility it brings, this pricing might make sense. For others, however, paying this much to get the same performance as the PS5 six months earlier than the console's launch may seem a little too expensive.

But if you already have a gaming deck with the right specs there, should you stick with a PC over a PS5? The answer is generally neither yes nor no.

First, the plug-and-play nature of gaming consoles has advantages that a PC cannot compete with; if you want to get the most out of your PC gaming experience, you need to be prepared to install drivers and fiddle with graphics settings.

But on the flip side, the PC is an open platform, allowing you to play games across the history of gaming, while allowing for more customization in terms of hardware. Also, the best PC games tend to be cheaper than console games.

When it comes to raw performance, many PC enthusiasts may think it is obvious that the PC can rival or even surpass next-generation consoles. However, this is easier said than done.

Much of a console's performance has less to do with individual specs and more to do with how the hardware is put together. For example, the PS5 will have a super-fast SSD that will allow for fast data throughput, potentially giving it a performance advantage over PCs; desktop PC SSDs that can match the storage speed of the PS5 are currently unavailable.

Also, given the popularity of the console, developers tend to optimize their games for next-generation consoles rather than the myriad of PC hardware. This means that games running on the PS5 may outperform their PC counterparts in terms of performance, even if the PC has far more computing power than Sony's upcoming console.

Regardless of which platform you stick with, the PS5 and Xbox Series X, when they arrive later this year, will likely usher in a new wave in the gaming world.
