    Thanks to Leeg for all the effort of being a 1 man army organizing and moderating this huge comp! Not sure what the fuss is about people switching teams. I would rather see people switch teams an

Ar we alowed to use dual gpu's aka 9800 gx2 , 3850 x2 , 3870 x2 , mars

Or is DDR4 Stage 7 : 3DMark 11 Dual GPU  (3 X GPU SUBMISSIONS NEEDED) the only dual gpu stage.

Only single core cards in all stages, DDR4 stage 7 is indeed SLI of crossfire with 2 graphics adapters (single cores)

I'm just double checking in case of typo, we're using AM3 on the DDR2 cinebench stage or AM2? Both work just making sure there wasn't a typo :)

that will be AM3, but no 6 core Thubans

Is this the same as previous years where all submissions need different hardware?  If so, how does this work for the dual DIMM DDR1 frequency stage?

Great effort, great stages!

Thank you so much for putting in the time to come up with this challenge...

thx edited it was Firestrike indeed.

Some stages are indeed limited to a specific type of CPU (limited by socket, core count or type) Hoping Frederik can get it all sorted out before the 5th. For older platforms there wil be opteron/xeons allowed, though only single CPU platforms, never dual sockets!!!

 

What is considered old? 1366? 2011? Because 2011 would give those with a 1680 v2 (unlocked 8 core) an advantage.

S939 & S1366 is server CPUs allowed... look I can't post all exact limitations here, that would take too much space, you have to wait till they are up

How about 771 -> 775 converted Xeons?

nope, no limited funky adaptors sorry

What about enabling an extra core on a 960t?

it is no Thuban as stated in the rule so you found a loophole ?

Should it be AM3+ for SuperPi 32M?

Probably better to wait for the official (full) limitation though I guess. *Whistles innocently*

Wait so even a 6 core zosma is allowed as it's not thuban?

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...

Um AFAIK the Titan V can't run dual GPU so it can't be used on stage 7. It would only be OK on stage 6 since that's single card.

Also for the AM3 SuperPi stage does that require AM3 boards or can you run Phenom IIs on AM3+ boards?

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

STAGE 5: Aquamark3 AMD only (3 x GPU submissions)

“AMD only” does it mean both AMD cpu+gpu only? Or can I use an intel cpu?
