if you can use them in only 1 stage out of 8 how would it rule DDR4?

If we want to attract new people we should have bulletproof benchmarks that work on the latest OSses.. sadly we are limited to a handfull that are RTC bug free... Thanks for Intel for adressing it, no thanks to AMD for not giving a fuck. Nothing evolving in this hobby besides the hardware, hence why we need 6 different OSses to get the best performance per benchmark. This alone frustrates new users, as they all bench on 8.1 or 10. Only Futuremark moves on , the rest is... About the hardware cost, things are getting ridicilous and I even suggested a 10 core limit on the newer gens of CPUs. Many 3D benchmarks have become in fact 2D benchmarks. No more LN2 on GPUs as the CPU takes control of the total output. Is that benching ? Maybe it is in your book, in mine things have become way too easy. Do you need to pull out a soldering iron each time? nope but grabbing points and winning certain competitiions have never been easier. If we would allow 7980XE and Titan GPUs to rule in the DDR4 stage , would that attract new blood? I beg to differ from many of the haters in this thread. Open up to cheaper and more challenging hardware... it is not just about points and WRs.... I can assure you Country Cup will be a similar format as it was too easy to claim the victory, since you only needed a few recently modern good CPUs to trash the rest. Unless you want to design the competition with me. Ex-admins approved of the current format as it is versatile and it will be challenging to hit the top spots in each stage. Thanks Yousarianlives for a nice recap on what Team Cup should be.

The logic is to avoid that the 4K setups get an easy win... By not allowing them to be used in multiple stages you can make it more fair for the other ones... not ?

correct

I haven't validated all subs yet, only talking about the 1070ti ones, they remain... just do what you have to do... and what you think is your perogative...

Stage 7 is all out with max 2 GPUs, if your team can manage the hardware list you mentioned, good for you you might secure top spot with 50 points in the pocket. Now if you think all teams can manage it I think we would agree to disagree. Is that unfair?, Maybe or maybe not as they can only use their superexpensive gear in one stage. Now you talk of allowing them too in other stages Wow that's super contradicting to me... I don't get all this nitpicking on some stages, Team Cup is not about 1 stage to complete,

Look nobody cheated, they just used the error in the hardware limitation list. So I can't punish them as you would like me to do. As said above the scores and ranking stays.

Geekbench 3 Multi

DDR4 platforms and no Titans as mentioned before, the stage will be Vantage GPU performance, to have a wider variety of benchmarks and to rule out them super expensive 7980XE CPUs. X99 with DDR3 is hard to find I guess Frank, so yes it is LGA2011 only. And no Xeon CPUs DDR4 Stage7 is limited up to maximum of 2 GPUS, no limitations there besides no server CPUs. So e.g. Titan V can be used (but it doesn'"t work in SLI so they can only use one card) Guys there are 8 stages per memory type, a team cup is not lost if you can't compete for the top spots in one stage. Team Cup always has been about benching on a huge variety of platforms, but it seems I just can't win and please everybody.

No Server CPUs allowed for S2011

Well it is my bad, I copîed the previous division rules and and did not verify their content. Score stays, Noms is the winner...

realculated both, thx for reporting

Nope each member one score, you can submit 3, but only the best score will count...

Will do... nobody spotted this till the first one subbed with the Ti

missing verification link

verification link Daryl :(

missing link david

plz add Futuremark verification link plz

missing verification link sir

okay I just dug up the E sports page: The graphics card choice is limited to a Nvidia Geforce 500 graphics cards (one core). (http://oc-esports.io/#!/round/roadtopro_challenger_season4_division7_round2) The processor choice is limited to Ivy bridge 1155 (http://oc-esports.io/#!/round/roadtopro_challenger_season4_division7_round2/4267/cinebench_-_r11.5)

Sandy bridge and Ivy bridge are LGA1155, Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge -E are part of the high end desktop LGA2011 platform. Due to the fact we moved back from the slow E-sport page to the regular one, the rules of the LGA 1155 Ivy bridge only got lost, same for stresing single core Geforce 500 series (read no GTX590 allowed)... Nevertheless though the above reply to the Xeon part should be clear enough that SB-E nor IVY-E is allowed in this DIV VII challenger...

I checked ebay.de and can find multiple 3000-3200 and 3400 S754 Venice cores costing between 5-20 euros...

Hence why I did not comment on a previous harsh reply mr Buildzoid... DDR4 Stage 6 is no Titans allowed sorry. Now back to your question: Phenom IIs can be run on AM3+ (at least on my Crosshair V) k moff to bed, take care all

nope it is AM3, AM3+ is for 3D11 be creative they said and you just give it all away... I just partly wanted people to not be able to re-use the same cpus over and over again...

nope, no limited funky adaptors sorry it is no Thuban as stated in the rule so you found a loophole ?
