The Official Country Cup 2018 thread

[Leeghoofd]

Only blocked vgas till now are Vega FE, Radeon Pro Duo and the Titan-Z

[Guest D@R3]

So Is Stage 7 3dmark01. A AMD only Cpu/Gpu stage as it reads.

[yosarianilives]

Also don't think it ever got clarified what sockets are combined. Obviously 1151 is a single socket, but what about am3 and am3+ or am2 and am2+? Will they get combined? 

[niobium615]

Honestly, it seems a bit strange to me that the Titan V would be allowed while the Titan Z/Pro Duo are both banned.  Any rarity or cost argument that could be made against either of the dual GPU cards seems like it would be an even stronger case against the TV.

[TASOS]

Can we let Titan's out ?

Lets reserve them for next year.

yes full AMD platform

LGA1151-V2 will be added by Frederik, AM2 and co are different sockets

Titan V is out of the cup

we have to allow them somewhere minus the V and Z version

Ok so to be clear, does that mean bclk submissions could be;

• 1151v1
• 1151v2
• AM3+
• AM3
• AM2+
• AM2

?

[Leeghoofd]

yep normally if all goes well ?

[KaRtA]

Is the background still baking? 

Can I say, I’m excited, I love CC

I can only assume it's to keep people from benching until tomorrow. Otherwise I know I'd already have something pulled down...

775?

Sorry, quick follow-up/afterthought - there was some suggestion before that socket was by board and not CPU, is this still the case?  So for example (to pick the most annoying examples) a Crosshair IV with an FX-8150 would count as AM3, a Crosshair V with a sempron 145 would count as AM3+?  Sorry to be awkward

That has never been the case.

[yosarianilives]

Why wouldn't it be? Reference frequency is a score for a motherboard. So socket would be determined by the motherboard used. Pretty sure it's always worked that way.

If it always worked that way, he wouldn't be asking that question.

Well done on making the comp a level 2 one rather than level 1, considering the extra effort of 10 stages (instead of 5) I think this is completely warranted.

[Leeghoofd]

Socket 1151 V2 is added by Frederik, plz fill in correct motherboard type and specs

 

Background nr 1 added to the rulez

Be aware thisbackground will rotate at the 1st of december, all benchmarks run with background nr1 need to be submitted at 30th November latest. Late submissions will NOT count!!!!

?

same question for stage4, amd spi32m subs. can the same cpu go on am2, then am2+, am3, am3+ platforms ?
for these amd cases, different sockets will also mean different cpu models ?
similarly, will 775 on ddr2 be differentiated from 775 with ddr3 ?
thanks

[suzuki]

Omg how many things you guys can find. If a frog would be disected in here would turn out to be with 6 fck legs :)).

I guess common sense let’s you submit only one score per 775 ,no matter ddr2 or ddr3,why would you think otherwise ?

Next question would be if  you could split it by chipsets (p35/p45/x38/x48/g31 etc).

Stage 10 TSE 1 GPU per Family. We're going by Series correct? Aka 20xx, 10xx, 9xx, 7xx, 6xx. Or by GPU family which would then be Turing, Pascal, Maxwell, Kepler, Fermi?

it's the same thing either way you look at it 

[Leeghoofd]

for the different CPU socket, an example

one E8600 CPU for S775 on a DDR3 board , if your country submits an E8500 on DDR2, the highest ref frequency will count and will make the other score redundant

one CPU for 2011

one for AM2

A different CPU for AM3

...

Each country just needs subs of 8 different CPUs BUT related to the CPU-Z socket which is mentioned by CPU-Z... If you sub two S775 CPUs only the highest one will count for the compo...

Well no it's not because Fermi is 400/500, Kepler 600/700 etc etc

[Noxinite]

Surely the HW categories will determine all these issues?
