Next year we will call it Clash of the Ego's 2019... anybody interested in running the new Futuremark DX12 only benchmark ?

Well done

Yes Xeons are allowed for the single core stage... that was the plan from the start

wrong background for TC2018 participation

you got an FM link to add Martin ?

yes we won't allow it to mess with this IGP stage

Sandbagging spoilers...

Hardware spec list is not final, though there will be no speciific requirement for processor family or such as with TC2018. If we would allow server hardware I would add limitation to 32X cores max, but only single CPU. Z170/270/370 is all the same LGA1151 socket in my book Daryl

lo all, Team Cup is still in full motion however already time to focus on the last compo of the year: the Country Cup. Early announcement so you still have time to get the gear aligned.. This year countries will battle over 10 stages, 5 2D and 5 3D stages. CountryCup will start from the 4th of November and run till 31st of December. Current selected benchmarks (stuff can still change ofc) for the stages are: Stage1: X265 4K - 8 scores required over different sockets Stage 2: CB R15/core - 8 scores required over different sockets Stage 3: Max FSB/Bclock - 6 scores required over different sockets Stage 4: AMD Superpi32M - 6 scores required over different sockets Stage 5: GPUPI 1B with Single core CPU - 3 scores required over different sockets Stage 6: Single card Dual GPU only 3DMark05 - 5 scores required over 5 different videocards (no Radeon Pro Duo or titan Z) Stage 7: AMD CPU/GPU 3DMark01 - 5 scores required over different videocards (no Vega FE edition) Stage 8: GPUPI 32B single AMD GPUs only - 5 scores required over different videocards (no Vega FE edition) Stage 9: Night Raid IGPU - 5 scores required over different IGPUs (no VEGA M) Stage 10: TimeSpy Extreme single nVidia GPU - 5 scores required over different videocard generations (No Titan V) Country Cup is for retail hardware only! the validation and screenshots will be in line with the ongoing TeamCup ( so don't forget mobo tab and GPU-Z Sensor tab!) For stage 9 and 10 a Futuremark verification link is required and must be VALID at UL website There will two backgrounds this year, change of background will be announced 5 days ahead so you can still post all of your done scores. New competition background available. Newscores need to submitted with it!!

plz use competition background for participation in TC2018

plz redo, no screenshot clipping and missing mobo tab for TC participation

plz add FM link

competition background is not visible

thx for the report, @richba5tard

euh if we allow only retail hardware it means we don't allow usage of the heavily debated Z270/370LN2 boards right ? Or am I missing something here ?

Nope no ES, retail hardware only... not gonna happen on my watch

@richba5tardAlready reported this to Frederik thx again

Things are taking shape, will be different sockets in the 2D stage and another build in surprise half way the compo

Current OC has taken of who can spend the most to a ridicilous level, this is what I try to keep under control for these competitions like TeamCUp and co from now on...

K it will be 10 stages, 5 stages 2D and 5 3D... 3-5 scores per stage my biggest concern is do we allow Titan/RTX series yes or no

Mobo tab Opty, damn...

missing mobo tab for TC2018

yep...

No laptop crap... forget it guys...

Consider it done, but on windows XP plz
