I suspect the viability of PC gaming is very regional.

A 3060 Ti costs £384 ($490) in the UK. That's almost exactly the price of a PS5, and the reason I'm still using a 1060 6GB for my PC.

Forgot to mention I got it used, so should be comparing it to used consoles (PS5 looks like its still about $300 for digital edition, but doesn't really matter since the subscription is most of the cost anyways), so a used switch would actually be cheaper.
