The writer is considering an alternative home console gaming scheme to using a PlayStation 5 Pro and upgrading his gaming PC instead.
The PlayStation 4 Pro is currently his choice of console for living room gaming, while his gaming PC is located in another room.
The writer has decided that using a very fast desktop graphics card and long cables is a good conversion alternative to a PS5 Pro being mounted into a living room setup.
Buying a console isn’t worth the hefty price tag and concern of its graphical potency.
The writer already has the cables he needs to convert his current gaming PC with a 4K capable graphics card into the living room setup.
The cables consist of a 10m-long HDMI and two snaking 12m USB booster extension cords.
Other alternatives to wiring include wireless, streaming, or a wireless mouse and keyboard.
The new desktop GPU is what the writer is waiting for, with the launch of the AMD RDNA3 and Nvidia Lovelace series happening at the start of 2025.
The writer is hoping that the upcoming GPU launches at CES 2025 will offer relatively more affordable 4K gaming options.
The writer can still enjoy the PlayStation library with his upgraded gaming PC in the living room, although he will miss out on the newest PS5 exclusives.
