October 8, 20159 yr i liked the team cup. some interesting hardware was required. i hope the country cup is similar. I liked about half of it. The other half (i.e. pre 2005) belongs in Old School, IMO.
October 9, 20159 yr I liked about half of it. The other half (i.e. pre 2005) belongs in Old School, IMO. Team Cup has always had a strong old school component - that wasn't something new for this year or anything like that. I think the comp is intentionally designed to offer a mix of old, new, expensive and cheap. All the "slowest," "lowest" and "most boring" stages were new-ish, though. I know some folks found those a real hoot and a holler. But personally, not my idea of a good time.

October 13, 20159 yr The Team Cup is aimed at a wider variety of overclocking activities, which includes legacy hardware as well as sometimes odd stages like "slowest". It's a longer contest too, which allows for a wider variety The Country Cup is aimed at the more recent hardware. (fixed) Edited October 13, 20159 yr by Massman
October 13, 20159 yr It's also the worst time of year to organise anything. which I'm sure is intentional
October 13, 20159 yr as long as the required hardware can run the specified benches .. and rule clarification .. i never did get an answer to my questions but there is always next year. .. thinking about having a hardware sale with 486/pentium boards / via boards / igp boards that dont run catzilla .. special !
October 13, 20159 yr UUUUUUUUUUU...........SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS............AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..............................lol Glad we are on the same team
October 13, 20159 yr Those participating for the greatest country in the world, please add me on Skype. We have a TEAM USA!!!!! group chat going. Skype: tnalley27 Edited October 13, 20159 yr by xxbassplayerxx
October 13, 20159 yr I think I'm going to have to pass on this one... I need to do regular benching lol You may not want to add him on Skype. He seems untrustworthy and can't stop changing his mind....
October 13, 20159 yr You may not want to add him on Skype. He seems untrustworthy and can't stop changing his mind.... Well I can't just let you Canadians be the only ones fighting the Aussies and the French... The US came in 7th place last year. That's only acceptable in education!
October 13, 20159 yr I don't have much hardware left but I'll see if I can contribute somewhere! Go Canada!
October 13, 20159 yr When the list of tasks will be known? I see 5 stages http://hwbot.org/competition/country_cup_2015/ but without details.

October 14, 20159 yr Author I hope the last stage limits the number of gpus that can be used because gpupi can make use of 8 gpus unless you want people to be running 8k of gpus
October 14, 20159 yr Author If you thought overclocking was expensive before you ain't seen nothing yet At least it it could be run on a old sever board
October 15, 20159 yr Glad we are on the same team Me too - If I have the stuff I'll play as well. :nana:

October 21, 20159 yr http://oc-esports.io/#!/article/3146/hwbot_country_cup_2015_kicks_off_november_1st Just a fast question Stage 1 - 3DMark06 Nvidia HWpts: use 10 different single GPU Nvidia graphics cards, each from a different family. The ranking is based on the sum of the hardware points of the ten results. There are 50 points for the winning country The bolded part referes to different core or different naming family? For example would a gtx 680 and a gtx770 be seen as different family when its the same card?
