PlayStation 5- how sre the visuals so good and games run so well on a machine with the equivalent of a GTX 2060?

I simply don't understand how Sony studios extract the visuals they achieve in their games from old hardware. It feels like tech sorcery.
Well as someone who has played the PC version, I can immediately tell that this game is probably running on Medium or possibly even Low. There's fewer confetti particles, the explosion is less detailed, the fur doesn't look as real and the lighting isn't as good. Not to mention that it's running non-native resolution/no DLSS cause you can clearly see the ailiasing. That said, it looks great for a $500 machine. My PC was over $4K cause I just had to have a 4090 (after I saw how disappointing the rest of the RTX 4000 lineup was. I usually only buy midrange GPUs).
In other words: Optimization.
Tbf, the PS5 version of the game has two modes; performance and graphics. You can have it look really good and get raytracing features but play at 30fps or reduce some of those settings and play at 60+ (I think this one goes to 120 if you have a capable display).
But even on Performance, it has been the best looking game I have ever played, and I tend to keep up with the latest and greatest.
Yeah that's what I'm saying. Furthermore, if you want a high framerate (120+ FPS) and no-compromise ray tracing, you're going to have to spend way more than $500. The PS5 is an extremely good value for what you get.
I knew a PC person would come in here eventually and flex.
