lol these threads are so funny to read lmaooo very funny
i will chime in my own point of view why tflops between ps5 and sx does NOT matter
let's go with the gtx 1060 and 1080
according to theoritcal tflops, gtx 1060 has 4.4t flops, and gtx 1080 has 8.8 tflops
wow, two times, eh? well how much of that "tflops" translate to actual performance?
let me tell, there are some games that where gtx 1080 only surpasses a gtx 1060 by a freaking %50 margin.
and in average, it beats the 1060 by around %70.
what does this tell us? the both gpu is clocked similarly. 1080 has two times more shaders, two times more SMs (CUs for nvidia), two times net more tflops, yet performance does not scale linearly.
performance will, most of the time, scale linearly with core clock, on the other hand.
math is simple, series x has %44 more CUs, right?
but ps5 has %22 faster core clock
going by a similar analogy, it's clear to see that %44 more therotical CU power may only scale by %25-30.
And offset that with the %22 faster core clock, what you get? Pretty equal systems. Interesting, huh?
Only place where Series X can shine would be in scenarios where all the CUs are heavily loaded with lots of parallize load.
Gears 5 is the latest release in the epic game series that used to be an Xbox exclusive. We thoroughly test this Unreal Engine 4 based game on 23 graphics cards at three resolutions, including 4K Ultra HD. Both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards do very well here.

This game is brutal.
At 1080p, the difference between gtx 1060 and 1080 is only %29. Can you believe that? It's clear that this game did not care about 1080's "tflops" or it's more "SMs".
At 1440p, difference becomes a whopping %68, and at 4k, it becomes %73.
Only scenarios where Series X may get the full advantage of its %44 more CU count would be situations where the game runs native 4k, most likely. Even then, it will not scale the performance by %44.
More CUs and TFLOPS are good, but core clock scales better.
In the end, after these conclusions, for my frame of view, PS5 and SX are near-equal performance wise at 1440p and below. At 4K 30 fps modes, i would gather PS5 might have to resort to 1800p because of the reasons stated above.
