CN's example was done with 'balanced power' in windows rather than the 'performance power' setting.  The CPU has speedstepped down to idle at 1600 and doesn't show the clock speed used in the run.

look at OS ?

Sandbagging is part of the game a lot of people do it.

Why put your best score up early you are only putting a target on your back for the other teams to beat.

Get over it?

LOL.

I wouldn't go betting your life against it.

Which of the Giga LN2 boards are ES again?

Z97 = retail

Z170 = limited retail??

Z270 = ES

Z370 = ES

[GtiJason]

With the addition of the cpu-z mainboard tab taking up additional space, would this be ok ?
Really just talking about the comp bckgnd

(If I moved the cpu-z tabs into the visible taskbar area, had mem freq and mainboard actually showing and not moved by shrinking 2 row taskbar down and actually used Win 7 instead of chopping it in lol)

Won't be showing a lot of background, tho mem tab should be ok for something like mem freq

Z170 also ES

[GeorgeStorm]

I'd guess not since it doesn't show mem speed, or mobo model?

Also covers part of the render

I just need to see you used the mobo background, however take note on the following issues in that screenshot, not taking into account your Win7 pro super extreme paint version. If you guys will use very low resolutions make sure everything fits. screenshotting at 1920 x1080 is the easy solution :p

Yeah was just wondering about the little bit of background showing, but moderators gotta moderate haha
Not like I own a monitor under 1920x1080 anyway, that above 1280x1024 took up maybe 25% of this 2k guy I mainly use cause of 120Htz

[superpatodonaldo]

let's fix the problem, not CineBench stage

Only because I actually just finished this run and it happened to be at 1280x1024, Would this pass?

But overall I agree, 1920x1080 or above makes it much easier

[yosarianilives]

1080p or above is preferred, but on older gpus, especially Terascale, until you install a driver the max res is 1680x1050 which is why I tend to screenshot at that. If there's an Intel igp stage (plz do this, the outrage will be half the entertainment plus its actually fun to bench) I'll be screenshotting at 1080p np ?

Sadly there are IGP & APU stages :p

Thanks, Good to know it's possible to fit it all in that res and still be legal

TY! I thought I was at maximum hype already, however I was wrong. I am now at maximum hype. All aboard the hype train! CHOO! CHOO!

[Leeghoofd]

first post updated with stages so you can get a drift on the hardware requirements

STAGE 8: 3DMark Firestorm APU/IGP  (3 x iGPU submissions needed)

Remarks, feedback other thoughts  are as always welcome

DDR4 Stage 8 3DMark "Firestorm"... Is that supposed to be Firestrike or Icestorm? (or is there a new 3DMark bench?) 

Thanks for putting this together in these trying times. 

[Noxinite]

Thanks!

Do each of the stages require unique CPUs/GPUs (where appropriate)?

[skulstation]

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

[Bulshooter]

Titan V allowed ?

[Leeghoofd]

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!!!
