PC Perspective Podcast

Another quarter is behind us, and NVIDIA just made more money than ever before. Thankfully this "ai" bubble will NEVER burst...right??  ASRock says they have fixed their AM5 issues, 10Gbe is going get inexpensive, and what can Brown do for your AIO?  Also, there is only one rage quit incident.  All that and so much more! 00:00 Intro 00:23 Patreon plea (and thanks) 01:30 Food with Josh 03:15 NVIDIA...

No more misinformation - AMD finally announced their Radeon RX 9060 XT, and it turns out that reports of a $449 MSRP were greatly exaggerated. And what the heck is going on with Ryzen and EPYC right now? We have EPYC branded Ryzen desktop chips, and Ryzen branded EPYC chips for workstations (gross oversimplification)?!  Developers! (get fired), Silverstone retro, and also there's a clipboard. Time...

We were off last week, and somehow we STILL haven't reached Computex. So, another pre-show show, full of speculation (and speculative exploits).   With no time to spare, we talk about Epyc, RX 9060 and RX 9070's, ceramic storage and Windows 3.1 - but not in that order. Timestamps:  00:00 Intro  00:56 Patreon  01:55 Food with Josh  03:58 Radeon RX 9060 XT clocks and pricing  05:54 RX 9070 GRE is a...

The latest episode of the podcast features the musings of J. Hellstrom, background art by J. Hellstrom, and several segments written - in large part - by J. Hellstrom.  In a way, we are all Jeremy now.  Also within, find us talking about gyroscopes, no more Hyte, Copilot popularity and even 12VHPWR! As if. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:03 Food with Josh 02:30 Too early for RTX 50 Series SUPER rumors?...

Another outstanding example of what can be accomplished by sitting in front of a PC with a microphone and a camera, and chatting with other people who are also sitting in front of PCs with microphones and cameras.  Riveting as expected.  Tidbits dropped on Intel BOOSTing, Microsoft and Windows 10, Synology drives and so much more! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:27 Food with Josh 05:09 Intel 200S BOOST...

The wait is over: the podcast about the performance of a card you probably can't buy is finally here! And the best part: our MSRP is always enforced.    But also in this show we've got high PC shipments, low expectations for Windows 11 and some historical chimes.  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:17 Food with Josh 04:39 RTX 5060 Ti review 05:17 Josh begins a digression that devolves into auto industry c...

Brett is back, so everyone can stop calling in and writing letters. He will try to stay out of that Turkish prison, just for you. Also in this episode, some actual technical news items like a new satellite internet, USB-C splitting  and we even sneak in a review of the Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT. One again we are very pleased to welcome back Incogni as a sponsor! Your information is being exposed b...

Josh finally had another burger, and published his SECOND review of the month!!  All hail the Thrustmaster!   Mindfactory never went anywhere, Windows likes your printers again, and all the GPU news you can stand!  And we know who you are, since 23andMe sold all your data... J/K! Your information is being exposed by data brokers to possible identity theft, scams, online harassment, stalking or eve...

Welcome to a podcast that some have called, "15th best".   We've got RTX PRO 6000, MSI done with Radeon, 200k sold from AMD (no), and even fake CAPTCHAs!  There's so much variety packed in here, it's probably leaking off your screen right now because one window cannot possibly hold it all! One again we are very pleased to welcome back Incogni as a sponsor! Your information is being exposed by data...

Welcome to another episode of the 30th best computer podcast on the planet!  (you'll see) We've got the CPU review, GPU rumors and facts, and enough malware stories to choke Microsoft, TP-Link and Apple!  Plus the usual assortment of tech goodies culled from the thing we simply refer to as "The Internet". Once again we are pleased to welcome back Incogni as a sponsor! Your information is being exp...

The most anticipated graphics card launch in many a year is upon us, and of course the story has become pricing and availability yet again (unless you live in one of the 19 States that Microcenter occupies).  Also more 12VHPWR monitoring options, Firefox terms of use change for worse probably, and some Half Life 3 rumors. Still. We are please to welcome back Incogni as a sponsor! Your information...

We recorded a podcast before AMD announced the 599/549 USD pricing for the RTX 9070 cards, but you can enjoy our uninformed speculation just the same!   This is a show filled with issues.  Have some. We are pleased to introduce our latest sponsor: Incogni! Your information is being exposed by data brokers to possible identity theft, scams, online harassment, stalking or even unwanted marketing. Ta...

We had a podcast. Routine. We talked about NVIDIA for the first 20 plus minutes straight. Routine. But also on the menu is next gen Intel GPUs, Windows 11 mods, and all hail the dead Humane AI Pin. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:10 Food with Josh 04:03 RTX 5070 Ti review and general discussion 20:10 NVIDIA Verified Priority Access for RTX 50 FE cards 21:12 First report of RTX 5080 connector melting 22...

Josh proves that he's the host with the most - and guides us through a brisk show that ends just before the really good stuff. Probably. Also, his cat tried to host.  We've got the "best" NVME, the most expensive 5090, melty parts, EVGA talk and there is no Subnautica 2 playtest - STOP CLICKING on things! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:57 (no) Food with Josh 03:54 Radeon RX 9070 XT listed early in Can...

It was another week in computer hardware, and Brett is BACK to help us talk about it. We've got so much Financial Talk, some RX 9070 info, comparisons to the 5070ti, and much more!  List of topics below. 00:00 Intro 01:58 Food with Josh 04:01 Radeon RX 9070 reportedly launches March 6 14:17 X3D is everything (well, 90 percent) 16:36 Quarterly Financial Segment Part 1 - Intel 22:00 Quarterly Financ...

It's quite a lot about the latest Nvidia GPUs, power and performance numbers and value.  You GTX 10 series is going to be left behind soon, Windows is forcing some updates, and QNAP actually fixes something.  All that and so much more! 00:00 Intro 02:16 Food with Josh (a tragedy) 05:32 RTX 5080 performance 14:26 Compute performance is a underrated part of the RTX 50 Series story 18:33 More RTX 509...

The RTX 5090 is almost here, and we discuss the performance and value proposition that some have called the RTX 4090 Ti that never was. We also talk about the delayed release of AMD's latest Radeon GPUs, and much more.    See the timestamps for all the topical goodness. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:19 Food with Josh 03:58 RTX 5090 Review 25:24 Kingpin switching teams? 29:27 Some RTX 40 Series cards...

NVIDIA's latest GPUs are almost here, but we can already tell you that 12GB is the new 8GB. Arc is the true way! (Ok, maybe not, but Josh did buy one.) And, of course, 3dfx had it all figured out with their external power supply for the Voodoo 6000. (note the thumbnail) Microsoft is bringing more AI to raster pipeline, VLC is bringing more AI to just videos, the RTX 50 series will be incredibly po...

CES 2025 wrap-up show, featuring at least 15% more energy than last week!  We've got semi-hot takes on some CES 2025 gear, discussions on Nvidia cards, what's up with AMD, Thermaltake, HDMI and the usual cadre of Security scares.   Even DOOM gets in on the act. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:28 Food with Josh 02:54 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series announcement 08:44 AMD’s curious lack of Radeon news 13:53...

Our first podcast of 2025 is the reason that playback speed control exists. Just set to at least 1.5x and you should be able to stay awake through most of it.  But do stay for the RTX rumors, the "AirJet" cooling, hot takes on 12vHPWR, and the usual suspects on the (in)Security portion. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:59 Food with Josh (minus the food) 01:46 NVIDIA RTX 50 Series rumors and pricing disc...

We present our ULTIMATE podcast for the year 2024. See you next year (as in a couple of weeks from now)! And remember, when you want more hard drive capacity, you need to get perpendicular: https://archive.org/details/get-perpendicular 00:00 Intro 04:03 Food with Josh 06:45 Intel shares update about Arrow Lake S performance 10:00 Arc B580 performance and value 17:13 Is NVIDIA brave enough to relea...

A fantastic show - as you have come to expect.  Does Microsoft support installation without TPM?  Intel needs a reinvention moment, Arrow Lake fix doesn't seem like a good "fix" yet, LLM hallucination returns, and what is this Wubuntu thing again?  Plus much more! Timestamps:  00:00 Intro  01:32 Food with Josh  02:42 Microsoft suddenly supports TPM-free Windows 11 installs  05:53 Intel wants to re...

After a week off, we expected to have at least a few things to talk about. But it turned out to be a very busy few days, including the sudden "retirement" of Intel's CEO... Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:00 Food with Josh 05:52 Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger Departs 16:09 Intel Arc Battlemage 26:33 ASRock PPM driver boosts Arrow Lake gaming perf 29:25 Radeon RX 8800 XT rumor 34:09 If you use eSCL devices, no...

We made it to 800! It's amazing what can be done by simply sitting in front of a PC and chatting with a few friends for an hour or two almost every Wednesday night for many years in a row.  Stick around for 9800X3D talk (of course), (in)Security scares, and a quick review of some RGB free ram!  Oh Nvidia financials, some Ryzen turbo, and Win 11 smacking around. 00:00 Intro 04:06 Food with Josh 05:...
