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 wel…

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 hara…

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 2…

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…

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 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 pa…

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 s…

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 ju…

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 announcemen…

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) 0…

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 performan…

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 …

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 …
