We’re still waiting for Intel’s next-gen Meteor Lake CPUs to make retail availability. All the expectations are that those chips will be limited to laptops and the desktop will only receive a minor refresh of the existing Raptor Lake chips. But now comes news that Intel has been showing off yet another new generation of…
The new Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update is out and, as part of CDPR and Nvidia’s long-standing effort to make it the new Crysis, it features an entirely new take on ray traced realism. Called Ray Reconstruction, this new DLSS feature literally grounds everything in the game, and makes the previous Overdrive ray tracing mode look…

I always knew that Ancient Egypt had been around for a while, but looking it up again the other day to shore up my Egyptology, I was still floored by just how long the great civilisation endured for. 3,000 years is the going estimate—from a stone tablet found in 3100 BC declaring Narmer as the…
Finding 221b Elysion Boulevard in Lies of P can be a little tricky, but it’s a key part of the Crafted Cryptic Vessel puzzle, which gives you a photograph of the house, but no indication of exactly where it is in the region. You’ll have to use all your puzzle smarts to locate the address—or…

One that would harness both the power of a local AMD Zen 6 or ARM CPU, a Navi 5 semi-custom GPU, and a cloud gaming platform to deliver “new levels of performance beyond the capabilities of the client hardware…
