What are the Rematch ranks? While jumping into a match of Quick Play is fun, there's nothing like truly testing your skills in ranked mode. With Rematch ranks on the line,most of your teammates should take this game mode seriously... hopefully.As with most multiplayer game ranked modes, you gain RP (reputation points) when you win matches in Rematch.

However, Rematch doesn't show what all the ranks in the game are, leaving you to figure it out for yourself. With no Rematch crossplay features just yet, the competition is fierce on all platforms.

AMD is apparently not only looking to pack loads more cores into its next-gen CPUs, but its also reportedly looking to crank up the clock speeds to an insane level. According to the latest word from the rumor mill, were looking at speeds that dont just break the 6GHz barrier on next-gen AMD Ryzen CPUs, but smash it into oblivion, and thats good news for gamers, where clock speed is arguably much more important than having more than eight cores.With a 52-core Intel CPU reportedly in the works, AMD is going to need a trick up its sleeve to compete, and while there are rumors that AMD Zen 7 will bring chips with up to 32 cores, it is expected to top out at 24 cores with Zen 6, with 12 cores on each chiplet. That means AMD's CPUs will need more oomph if they're expected to compete with a 52-core Intel chip, and thats where this rumored extra clock speed could help out, maximizing the performance per core.

I love a good theme park sim, but there are only so many rollercoasters and hot dog stands you can build before you want something a bit more dangerous. Thats always been the beauty of the Jurassic World Evolution series, which has had me screaming in terror on several occasions as I watch my loyal customers get mauled to death by some Houdini-esque velociraptors. The recently revealed threequal, Jurassic World Evolution 3, drops later this year, promising loads of improvements and new features. But its already received some heat from fans after Frontier Developments confirmed it was using generative AI for character portraits.

Portability and power rarely go hand-in-hand when it comes to your average gaming PC, but the Asus ROG NUC 2025 mini PC manages just that. This PC may be the size of a hardback book but it still manages to house an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. Pre-orders for the new ROG NUC are now available with units set to arrive around July 2, but its price is startingly high.We previously saw the Asus ROG NUC 2025 at CES 2025 ahead of Asus official unveiling of their latest mini gaming PC, and it listed some pretty impressive specs for such a small computer. Along with its RTX 5080 GPU, the ROG NUC 2025 contains an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and supports up to 96GB of RAM, which should be enough hardware to run just about any of the best PC games on the market.
