The official Novice Nimble #9 thread

Good luck to all teams !

 

Seems like there is a mandatory wallpaper this time, don't forget it

 

 

 

Asking for a bit of clarification on Stages 1 & 2 rules.

 

For Stage 1, it says 3 different Intel CPU, but also "a processor with the Skylake core" on right list.

So wrong copy/paste, 3 CPU with 1 Skylake, 3 Skylakes ... ?

 

For Stage 2, same 3 different AMD CPU, and "Use 1 processor(s)" on right.

Like, yeah obviously ? or a specific rule ?

 

 

Edit : Also, scores on Stage 1 and 2 are divided per core or it's full out ?

The way I interpret the stages:

 

Stage 1: 3 different skylake cpus: eg i3 6100, i3 6320, i7 6700K. But not two 6700K scores.

 

Same for AMD Stage 2: FX6100, FX8120, FX9550.

 

It will be an average score based on the 3 scores, so not divided per core. Seems a similar structure as the Country cup based competitions. This requires some extra communication who will do exactly what and how

Stage 1 - Three different skylake cpus, for example 6600K, 6700K, 6400...

Stage 2 - three different AMD cpus, independent of socket

Use 1 processor means that multi socket systems are not allowed, and it is full out, no core division

 

OK, I think Ninja Leeghoofd did the job^^

[Taloken]

Thank you for the clarification !

 

 

But a Skylake-only stage, it's very very limiting, it will have a poor participation

[Leeghoofd]

Just to be sure I'm crosschecking with lord Massman, probably partying again after his gym workout...

 

it is only 3 scores... not 7 like with country cup, I think Team Cowcotland and co can pull this off easily Think about mobile and co

Just my 2 cents but limiting this to just skylake cpus does not seem like a good idea. Just to be clear I do not have a skylake cpu so I am a little bias but even so this will prevent a lot of others from competing as well.

Wow!

 

This plot seems to take away a Fair Level Playing Ground.

 

Skylake-only-stage will mean ZERO Points for some team..

[Noxinite]

As the other guys said: a skylake stage will only hurt participation...

[websmile]

I will propose to change this to Intel native four cores or less. If there are objections against this, let me hear

[Noxinite]

People will complain about no Extreme CPUs, but I think it would be better kept to the mainstream Intel platform - as you have proposed.

[websmile]

Keeping the belance was reason for 1151, but I thought more people have it, so if this is still rare at novice league, no problem to make different limitation. 2011 has its place as well, it is strongest cpu at vantage and will give users a big advantage there

[mus1mus]

Yep. That's a better proposition.

[kimandsally]

Can people from any League play in this?

[Massman]

Only people from the Novice league

[Noxinite]

For Stage 1 must three different CPUs each with up to 4 cores be used? Or do all of them have to be quad cores?

[Noxinite]

Nevermind. :I Read it again.

[TAGG]

Please Fix The 1B Stage, I can't compete, because the number of Videocard cores isn't specified.

The Submission just crashes if i try to submit!

[Massman]

@websmile highlighted the issue to me. Should be fixed now

[mus1mus]

By the way, on Stage 5 3DMark 05.

 

How do we seperate entries for an AMD CPU and GPU?

 

Can we do an FX 8350 + R9 290X as an entry and have another one with an FX 8320 + 290X? Should this be allowed or we should need completely different sets of both GPU and CPU?

[12AX7]

I was just wondering...why are the HD5000 series not allowed for AMD Graphics submission?
