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!

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.

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.

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!
