    I was confused on this also, wiki doesn't list Fury Pro as a Rage card at all, only the MAXX

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Rage_Series

     

    And this old review seems to infer that Fury Pro = Rage Pro

    So really not sure how to approach the stage, well other than use a Fury MAXX I guess.

    Thinking about points for Enthusiast/Air

    Will be a nice boon for the larger teams for the team league. From a small team what you want me to say.

     

    Has this been discussed? It would make quite a difference if your team has a great deal of Ambient OC compared to Extreme. In fact, you could see a situation where a team might discourage its members from going Extreme.

    This idea looks like further proof that the Global points system is pretty broken. I can understand the need to foster recognition for the largest segment of the overclocking community but I think the problem is that the global points awarded to Extreme subs is too high (or at least counts to heavily to your ranking). Instead of trying to come up with a points algorithm that provides additional points for lesser scores why not just adjust the amount your globals count towards your total. You know my views on globals already but you could just as easily use only a percentage of your total globals in the rankings based on which league your in.

     

    Elite - all globals - no hardware (cause why not, this is my post and I can put any flights of fancy of I want in it)

    Extreme - 50% globals + hardware points

    Enthusiast - 100% globals + hardware points

    Novice - 150% globals + hardware points

    Rookie - 200% globals + hardware points

     

    I just picked these numbers out of the air, but the point being you don't have to add new headers and classes to the layout to get the same effect. Adjust them how ever you want, as K404 has said its all psychology. Under either system, if a score pops up on the Top submissions and everyone clicks it, their will be an (and this is unfortunate) eye roll, and 'oh just an air sub', no matter how many points are given it.

     

    One good idea though, get rid of the "New Challenges" tab and put in "New Ambient" one.

    You see it in the wrong perspective. Nobody talks about dual CPU configs. Its still about running s775 systems but using s771 CPUs with an adapter.

    Many s775 got a second life with those cheap xeon quads.

     

    I understand what you are getting at and I always applaud having a wider range of CPUs to choose from, believe me, that is my entire crusade. I can just understand why it will not be allowed since you would have to have another whole layer of restrictions. If you allow 771 chips you would have to then make a rule to limit that its only 771 chips on 775 motherboards (if the engine would even allow that) which means enforcing a rule that you must put your motherboard in the system specs on submission. Or you would have to allow 771 motherboards but try and moderate manually if its a dual socket 771 or not. It just seems messy just to allow 771 chips which are essentially 775 chips but cheaper.

     

    I would be all for allowing 771 chips to participate but I can see the logistical chaos that doing so would create. If the mods don't mind the extra work, I have a few 771 chips that I can certainly take for a little spin. I just wouldn't want to see the stage taken by a dual socket 771 setup with little to no effort.

    Not any more, but that is the way the stage was designed. I would argue that if a team was created one day before the competition, it might be the ONLY stage it had a chance of winning. The other 29 stages are heavily biased towards large teams, lots of hardware/sponsored teams, and those teams that are able to gather and share LN2 costs, etc. Should we start handicapping teams that have an advantage in some way. Perhaps if a team is based in a small country, perhaps of 132,000 square kilometers, they should get an automatic reduction in points because of how geographically close they are. I mean we are concerned with this new team being created right?

     

    I honestly, could care less if they give everyone the same points or not, but the overview quite clearly states their was a stage that was time sensitive. If a team missed that clue, followed by the fact that only one stage was open, then why complain about it now? Sour grapes?

    Please fix the problem with this stage-6

    http://oc-esports.io/#!/round/team_cup_2015_sc2/2365/cloud_gate_target:_250

     

    Give the same points , to whoever , gets the target score or change the whole stage project.

     

    Are you boycotting the stage then? Why not get a score up while there are still some good points to be had? I mean its not F1 racing, TechSweden hasn't won it already.

     

    I'm pretty sure it was intentional so I don't see it getting changed.
