After showcasing his high placement on the Diablo 4 leaderboards last year, the world’s wealthiest man has moved on to greener pastures and is flexing his skills in arguably the best ARPG of all time, Path of Exile 2. However, recent streams cast doubt on his prowess and high-level hardcore ladder placements. As first reported by PC Gamer on Jan. 10, Elon Musk has previously shown himself playing what is supposedly one of his hardcore characters in PoE 2, standing at level 95 as of Jan. 7. For the uninitiated, hardcore mode in PoE 2 and other ARPGs is one containing permadeath—if your character dies, they die for good. Getting far with a hardcore character is an impressive feat of its own, but having one at level 95 requires such immense skill that only the rare few succeed. View the full article

Blame Intel for your AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D stock shortages. That's according to AMD executives who, during a roundtable interview at the CES 2025 trade show this week, blamed Intel's "horrible" next-gen gaming CPU launch for causing higher-than-expected demand for AMD's own flagship CPU. It's been true to say that AMD has consistently produced the best gaming CPUs in recent years, with the 9800X3D now the current champion. The latest Intel effort to break the mold didn't go exactly to plan, either, with Arrow Lake CPUs like the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K offering poor gaming performance on launch.

I felt it the most keenly when I played Civilization Revolution, this ongoing problem with Firaxis's 4X icon - and other games like it - whereby interactions with other nations are too limited. In the Civilization games of old, including Civ 6, diplomacy is often a case of just trading a few resources for time-limited favors. It doesn't feel grand. But in Civilization 7, that's all going to change. Firaxis is totally revamping how you negotiate with your rivals. Alongside the big new combat ideas that were unveiled recently, Civilization 7 feels like a shakeup of the series' formula. Read the rest of the story...

Marvel Rivals Season 1 is upon us, and with it comes new heroes, new maps, and some pretty interesting buffs and nerfs. In the run-up to its release, I got to check out this season, and while the new heroes may be a little broken and a pain to play against, they are also incredibly fun. The first thing I did once I got into the test server was try out the two new heroes coming to Season 1, half of the Fantastic Four: Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman. I was initially interested in Mister Fantastic after watching his teaser trailer, which demonstrated how he could transform into a Vanguard, deflect incoming damage, and bash enemy players into one another...

The developers of Marvel Rivals have officially disabled the use of mods, including those that allow players to customize their heroes with skins. NetEase states that the use of these mods violates the titles' terms of use, and though fans couldn't get enough of Winter Soldier turning into DaBaby or Luna Snow morphing into Ariana Grande, it seems that those skins will no longer be useable moving forward.

A gaming PC isn't just a computer - it's a show piece - and MSI is here to ensure your system lives up to that status. This new concept MSI CPU cooler ditches the cliché of a fancy LCD screen or infinity mirror lighting and instead gives you a rotating turntable for you to place your favorite figurine, letting you make the most of all that RGB and turn your PC into a proper display case. While the best gaming PCs you can buy include plenty of gimmicks that aren't just about high specs, if you really want your computer to stand out, MSI's new cooler could be a smart and understated way to do so. It could even save you some desk space too. Read the rest of the story...

New AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D gaming CPUs could have been produced with even better specs, but to do so would have made them far too expensive. That's according to AMD, who stated at CES this week that its new Ryzen 9000X3D series only has a single 3D V-Cache, rather than a long-speculated dual configuration, to keep them cheap enough to make and sell for gamers. The inclusion of the 3D V-Cache into Ryzen CPUs has given AMD the edge over Intel in recent years, when it comes to gaming performance, with its flagship models regularly reaching the top of best gaming CPU charts. However, while it makes sense for the likes of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D to only feature a single 3D V-Cache - as that chip only has one CPU die - higher-end models that use two CPU dies could in theory host two cache dies, yet AMD has chosen not to implement this option.
