The simultaneous reveal of both a PS5 Pro specs leak and this month’s latest Steam hardware survey results means we can fairly confidently say that there’s a strong likelihood the upcoming console is more powerful than your gaming PC. That’s because the top five most popular graphics cards on Steam have less processing power than the 16,7TFLOPs GPU in Sony’s latest offering, and only two of the top ten are faster. With the PS5 Pro release date only days away, it won’t be long before we can test just how speedy the new Sony console truly is. However, for now, a new PS5 Pro specs leak is giving us some truly intriguing numbers to digest. The leak comes from X (formerly Twitter) user brunno_fast (account currently deactivated) who apparently got hold of the new console ahead of its official November 7 launch. They posted an image of a specs listing, revealing details such as the CPU, RAM, GPU, power consumption, and more. While most of the specs are in line with expectations – with the full listing shown below – there are two standout features. The first is that the console is listed as having both the expected 16GB of GDDR6 RAM but also with an additional 2GB of DDR5. That’s an interesting balance, considering GDDR memory is normally dedicated only for gaming GPU usage. However, the PS5 and PS5 Pro use its GDDR for both CPU and GPU workloads. As such, the 2GB is reportedly instead dedicated for use by the console’s OS, with the full 16GB of GDDR6 entirely available for use in games. Sony PS5 Pro specs (leaked) CPU 3.1kg The other notable part of the spec listing is that the GPU is reported as having 16.7TFLOPs of processing power. That’s a significant upgrade over the 10TFLOPs of the standard PS5, though exactly half the previously leaked figure of 33.5TFLOPs. Those early leaks seemingly had taken the dual-issue measure sometimes used to measure the speed of AMD GPUs, but which isn’t generally considered the main and true indication of overall performance. Crucially, that 16.7TFLOPs figure matches the 45% speed increase also noted in some previous leaks. Moreover, it’s in fact faster than a whole load of the most popular gaming PC GPUs, at least based on this theoretical performance indicator. For instance, the latest Steam hardware survey indicates that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 still tops the chart as the most used graphics card, with 7.46% of Steam gamers using the card. And how powerful is that card? It is listed as having just 12.74TFLOPs of compute power. Next up we have the RTX 4060 laptop GPU, the desktop RTX 4060, the GXT 1650, and the RTX 2060, all of which also trail the PS5 Pro’s TFLOPs figure, though the RTX 4060 gives it a close run with a figure of 15TFLOPs. Those four cards make up 27.4% of all GPUs used on Steam and they’re all slower than the PS5 Pro, according to this leak and this type of measurement. When we hit position number six on the Steam hardware GPU charts, we get to the RTX 4060 Ti, which has 4.29% of the user base and finally tops the PS5 Pro with 22.1TFLOPs. Next is the RTX 3060 Ti, which just trails the PS5 Pro, and then is the RTX 3070, which comfortably outpaces it with 20.3TFLOPs. However, those are the only two cards in the top ten that can beat the PS5 Pro. That means, of the 47.6% of Steam users represented by those top ten cards, just 17.9% of them have faster GPUs than the PS5 Pro. Of course, what this really shows is two obvious things. One is the regular reminder that the majority of gamers aren’t buying flagship cards like the RTX 4090, but instead rely on cheaper or older cards to game at modest settings. And two is that you really don’t need to worry too much about having the latest and greatest to have a lot of fun. The RTX 4060 might technically be beaten by the PS5 Pro, but it’s still a great card for gaming at 1080p, even if the AMD RX 7600 is a better value option at this price range. We’d always recommend searching for the best graphics card to suit your budget and prioritizing spending as much as you can on your gaming GPU to get the best gaming performance, but it should only ever be in the pursuit of being able to play the games you enjoy at the settings you like.
