It’s not the hardware that’s the problem. (Though again, the built in hardware decompression matters too.) It’s the PC libraries for loading being dogshit. Loading speeds on PS5 with everything identical blow doors off of PC.
And again, I already answered the question in the post you’re replying to. You can stream the much higher quality game from disk in real time.
It’s not enough for me to buy games there first, but mostly because of Steam Deck. Even though PC supports pcie4 as well, the fact that it’s a standardized hardware feature with built in hardware decompression means games can rely on proper loading bandwidth.
The point is that the settings don’t matter. You can’t match the load performance of the PS5 on PC.
This will likely eventually change. But right now the PS5’s storage stack actually gives cutting edge performance, and it’s what makes seamless loading screen free traversal, including fast travel anywhere, possible in current, demanding games.

Didn’t digital foundry report that pc was slightly faster at loading h:fw?
holy ignorance
“with everything identical”? Yeah if you had a low end PC it wouldn’t be very good.

I don’t think that is true? If you had a high end nvme drive you beat ps5 load times on every port released… Since the PS5 came out?
