      Not sure if in your area is a thing, but a 4090 second hand at a decent price should do it

        I thought it was a standard enough option to expect?

          I am assuming you mean 120 fps for modern vidya games maxed out?

            Yes, given a console can do it handy enough I thought pcs would have a good handle on it. I understand it is game dependent but i have been hearing 4k120 for over a decade now from pc gamers.

              Consoles are doing upscaled 4K and running closer to medium settings for the really demanding titles and internal resolution can vary wildly depending on how demanding the game is and if you’re on quality mode vs performance mode.

              I recommend watching some analysis videos from Digital Foundry on YouTube for more details but neither console (including PS5 Pro) is doing 4k120 or even 4k60 in 99% of the games. It’s usually closer to roughly 4K@30 on quality mode or ~1440p@60-ish on performance mode with some games like Alan Wake 2 going much lower.

              Edit: A decade ago was PS4 (base). That was’t even doing 1080@30 consistently and even 4K@30 was a pipe dream from what I remember. Indies and older games sure but NOT AAA. Cables and interfaces barely even supported 4K@60 DISPLAY outputs back then
