PC Perspective Podcast

We decided to podcast yet again this week because, honestly, you demand it (you know who you are). The show must go on, and we had a lot to talk about this week - and sometimes we even sounded halfway intelligent! Like when we talked about the new Radeon cards, which bring the promise of $450+ midrange cards to AMD buyers. And we looked at the very compact - and ridiculously well-equipped - FragBo...

Do you like piña coladas, and getting caught in protracted discussions about DLSS 3.5 and NVIDIA quarterly financials? And that's just the FIRST HALF HOUR. You won't want to miss a single second of this episode. Also, there weren't any piña coladas. Sorry.  But there would have been if you had brought your own.  There is quite a lot of monitor discussion, right down to the Picks-of-the-Week(tm). ...

Who would have guessed it? We gathered and we made podcast history, AGAIN. An hour (or more!) of content, just ready to be watched, liked, subscribed. Topics include:  Dell doesn't like getting caught, the Intel Arc A750 reviewed, Inception fix is going be a bummer, and security scares galore!  Enjoy! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:23 Food with Josh 03:25 96-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX leak...

We're back with a podcast that's BIGGER and possibly BETTER than ever before. We talk about the latest news and rumors, and Kent goes absolutely crazy in his quest to tame the thermals from his Core i9-13900KS.  Security Corner scares with Inception and Downfall, Bots and Captcha, plus Gaming Quick Hits with deals and server shutdowns. Topics in the list below. Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 01:29 Josh ma...

Podcast history has been made. The first and ONLY PC Perspective podcast number 734 has been recorded, edited, and uploaded. This is the video, as if you needed further proof.  We've got AMD gaming CPUs for laptops, Intel and AMD financials, RDNA3 GPUs getting better, security scares and gaming deals! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:21 Food with Josh 02:40 AMD announces X3D for laptops 09:53 AMD confir...

When it came time to make an episode, we did this.  Solidigm blesses us with gigantic SSDs now, Futurama is back, the future of Windows is bloatware, and AMD finally offers a Phoenix driver.  Plus security scares with Mikrotik and Gigabyte and let's not leave out Ubuntu this time, eh?  Of course our non-stop coverage of everything Intel ARC continues unabated.  Enjoy! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:35...

This week we gather yet again for an unforgettable hour. An hour you will cherish forever. Or, just skip around using the time stamps. We can't stop you.  Take in the Corsair DROP acquisition, the Asus Intel NUC acquisition, Linux acquiring marketshare, or the RTX 4060 Ti not acquiring any reviews.  Enjoy. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:52 Food with Josh 02:39 ASUS agrees to terms to take NUC from Int...

Another hour plus of tech talk from your favorite group of podcasters (and also Sebastian). Topics below. Recorded July 12, 2023. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:47 Food with Josh 04:09 Intel to end NUC production 06:27 Buy a 2TB Intel 670p NVMe SSD for $69 while they last 08:17 The Radeon RX 7900 XTX hits $799 (briefly) 10:26 NVIDIA not seeding RTX 4060 Ti 16GB to reviewers 25:02 ThinkPad 701c upgrade...

Post-July 4th holiday here in the USA and everyone has all of their fingers. Which enables some of us to use clicky keyboards during the podcast recording! What could be more perfect. And just look at that list of topics.  Where's AMD HYPR-RX AMD?  Where's your Microcenter?  And where's that new power connector to replace 12VHPWR already? Timestamps: 00:00 Pre-roll and Intro 00:53 Food with Josh 0...

We talk at some length about the RTX 4060 and competing products that offer a better value right now, plus other stuff like so much bad news in Security, Windows in the Clouds, and AMD anti-DLSS drama!  See the list of topics in the time stamps below. Timestamps: 00:00 Pre-roll and intro 00:51 Food with Josh 02:02 The RTX 4060 review 20:45 Is AMD blocking DLSS? 23:45 Microsoft wanted Windows 11 as...

No, Arc isn't EOL - just the flagship card made by Intel. It doesn't bode well, as Battlemage seems pretty far away, and the A770 seems to have run its course with A750 getting all of Intel's marketing attention lately. Beyond that, Intel decided to re-brand their desktop CPUs starting with the next generation Core, and Ultra is added to the mix to keep you on your toes. Also, other topics (in the...

It was another week, and that means more pcper podcast goodness. Josh had his very, very old headset and a bad laptop sound card on the road with him, Kent was back again, with a fab case review and we talked about a lot of other tech and newsy stuff.  We even had Clippy. 00:00 Prologue and Intro 02:38 Burger of the Week 04:26 RTX 4060 (non-Ti) release date moves up 09:40 AMD's EPYC Bargamo CPUs 1...

It's been another week, and that means another PCPer podcast. Good thing Josh had another tantalizing burger, because he needed his strength to talk for over an hour about the latest in PC hardware and software. But let's not bury the lede, as the Fractal Terra is the star of the show in this episode, and Kent took some amazing photos (the review begins at 40:31 ). Full list of subjects in the tim...

Allyn Malventano joins us for a very special (and storage-centric) episode! We talk about some of the things at Computex that captured our interest, and have an extended discussion about the promise of DirectStorage and how it could solve the GPU VRAM problem (if anyone actually implements it beyond that one game). Plus Jeremy has a fancy new desk to talk about, Josh reviews another racing wheel s...

You love to hate it, it's the pcper podcast! Wait - that's not right. You probably just love to hate overpriced, underspecified hardware. Oh well. That's the world we live in now.   Other things include IE11 will be "forever", The Radeon RX 7600 might save mid-tier gaming, and Bungie is bringing back Marathon - sorta.  Complete list of topical topics in the time stamps below. 00:00 Intro 02:30 Bur...

Catch up with the Monoprice Mic and be quiet! Dark Power 850w reviews, plus SSD performance software from Solidigm, and a big balanced build discussion. This was recorded the night before NVIDIA announced the GeForce RTX 4060 Family but we still had plenty to discuss, as you can see from the list of topics in the time stamps below. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:14 Burger of the Week 02:34 Intel Arc B...

Another podcast has occurred, and we had more to talk about than originally anticipated.  Such as that MSI hack which keeps on giving and if you've got a flickering monitor - check your chair!  MS and AMD vs Nvidia, large hard drives die faster,  PC game making is actually profitable and does real gaming need 16GB of VRAM? Topics in the time stamps below. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:24 Food with Jo...

It's our seven hundred and twenty-first podcast! And what a podcast it is. We even had a fake visit from Allyn, who didn't join us because I forgot to ask him to. And so many other topics like Ryzen burns, AMD TPM exploited, NVIDIA supply issues, and Intel loses billions and rebrands! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:17 Burger of the Week 02:58 RIP Microsoft ... branded keyboards and mice 04:45 No more...

Are you ready to overreact to the latest explosive computer hardware drama?? Sure, AMD has found the root cause already (I added their latest statement to the show during editing), but when we recorded this the subject was very hot. Get it? HOT. Like Josh. He hosted, by the way. Sebastian's voice was worse than usual, and his video/audio sync was off anyway.  We've got Security Scares, Rumors, Vin...

Quoting one of the greats: What's hotter than a 12VHPWR connector? This podcast. People just can't get enough of either one.  RTX4070 review and news, more RTX 3060Ti's, get your Afterburner on, but no longer with Intel ASICs plus so much more! Full list of topics in the time stamps below.  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:36 Food with Josh 04:15 Is an RTX 4070 price cut coming already?? 14:49 MSI launc...

Help us drive the experience.  It's been another week, and we have another new hardware launch to talk about! Yes, it's the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, and we looked at the Founders Edition card beforehand to find out just how much like an RTX 3080 it really is. Jeremy continues to review things, and this time he has an update to the surprisingly good Fosi Audio amp he reviewed last year - and this B...

Boeing didn't release a 717. Ok, yes they did. I just looked it up. BUT WE DID, TOO. Sure, podcasts aren't airplanes. However, they can still take you on a wild ride through various topics (with frequent digressions). You will be enthralled. How could you not? Just look at those topics in the list thingy below. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:50 Burger of the Week 03:29 AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is THE ONE 1...

Another week, another sloppy PC port. But we talked about more things than just The Last of Us: Part I (which has already been patched multiple times to correct some of the stuff we showed). Yes, another game was allegedly killing graphics cards, LTT was hacked and had their channel deleted for a short time, and Josh goes full JoshTEKK for an extensive racing rig review. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro (a...

Nvidia has Grace, Intel does not have Raja, Cyberpunk 2077 has paths, Games have DLSS, Josh has food, Sapphire has the Pulse + MORE!   Recorded March 22, 2023. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:49 Food with Josh 02:00 Counter Strike 2 05:38 Raja leaving Intel 17:08 Cyberpunk path tracing 20:06 DLSS 3 adoption set to increase significantly 23:02 NVIDIA Grace CPU superchip 25:18 The 3GB GPU is becoming obs...

It's time for another week of Ryzen X3D discussion! Well, until about the 19 minute mark, anyway. There were a lot of other topics, and our original livestream began with an interview with Sapphire's PR manager Ed Crisler (to be released soon!).  (Recorded March 15, 2023.) Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:12 Food with Josh 02:27 AMD's first official Ryzen 7 7800X3D benchmarks 06:09 Ryzen 9 7950X3D bench...
