Nice runs Kangaroos

[dinos22]

Looking forward to SuperPi, probably our favourite one

[Paulie_AU]

Well done teams. Was stressing big time

[newlife]

Nice going to everyone involved

 

Bring on superpi going to benching it for the next two days

[t8y]

well done -- to everyone, everywhere! what a tense final ~2hours!

this was probably my favorite stage to watch. so far at least..

such strong scores from the new guys, some scored hardware cups even!

 

great idea having a stage catering just to them, it really brought everyone up to a new level here

good luck to all in the last couple rounds

[GENiEBEN]

And now the purging and crying.

[Guest pho5ph0ric]

To all Great round

[Wizerty]

I already have a 5min backup with kabini

Good job to all : It was a nice round to watch. Nice but frustrating to wasn't be able to join

[Lucky_n00b]

Very close batle to the end, nice job everyone!

Also, congrats to Aussie for getting the third stage win in a row

[daNE]

Very nice round all !

[suzuki]

Great runs guys,congrats to everyone.

Too bad this stage was restricted ,the others should've been allowed to participate if they respect the limitations.

[Alex@ro]

Super-Pie incoming,started loving FM2+ lol

[robbo2]

That looked intense! Well done everyone who competed

[FatBoyNotSoSlim]

Can we have submit times offset by like 6 or 8 hours next year? 1AM submit times are a real pain to sandbag.

[Taloken]

it's always a bad hour for someone

[robbo2]

I'd like to see it moved to a more appropriate time of the year. Benching in the middle of summer for the southern hemisphere while the Northeners are benching in snow just about. Really made that ice storm round quite brutal for these guys using air in hot and humid conditions.

What if, year round, and one stage per month?

Getting reaaaally nervous for stage 5, so the hardware + benchmark will be announced on December 19th 4:00 PM?

[Massman]

AMD CPU and 1x AMD GPU is already known; benchmark will be annouced on Dec 19

I don't see this ending well because to think people can get hardware with 24 hours notice on weekend is just plain stupid

[Lucky_n00b]

Wait, so it's any AMD CPU and AMD GPU? Not some specific AMD Hardware?

[Massman]

Yes Lucky.

 

@Newlife: prepare the strongest system and go as hard as possible in the benchmark within 24h. The idea is NOT that people can buy the system, the idea is that people prepare the system and then push for the best score.

[Lucky_n00b]

Yes Lucky.

Oh glad to hear that, at least we will be able to score something out, and won't need to search & buy some rare hardware.

 

Looking forward to the benchmarks then

[newlife]

Yes Lucky.

Good to hear but would've been good to know sooner
