I think thats more likely yos

So is there a hybrid category for a10-8780k+r7 250? It's a hybrid xfire but I can't seem to find the category. Need to make sure that there are gcn hybrid sockets before I buy, otherwise seems to be fm1.

3DMark Firestrike Ultra - Dual GPU cards only - (4 scores)

Are cards like the Radeon Pro Duo (fiji, pascal, vega, etc) considered workstation cards and not allowed or do we need to worry about sourcing these rare/expensive workstation cards to obliterate gpu score?

 

Or should ideal gpu lineup be something like r9 295x, Titan Z, HD 7990, GTX 690?

Prediction: team US gets more optimal hardware but doesn't bother LN2'ing the phenoms, team AU LN2s everything and takes the stage.

We only Ln2 everything because it is summer for us.

What about Team UK?

They have a sooper sekrit ln2 bench meet planned that will get canceled because it snows a little.

I don't know why people act like team USA actually has a chance this year, we feel less organized than ever imho. I think the team we're really gonna have to look out for is team DE, they have super strong legacy people that are still active and they actively have bench meets. Finland would be a concern if some of their pros come out of retirement.

@Leeghoofd some clarifications: Titan GPUs allowed (especially the Titan Z for the dual GPU stage)? Xeons allowed for 775 / 1336 stages? CPU or motherboard socket for the BCLK stage?

German teams always strong. Not forget Greece ... they did official win a CC. Forget the Aussies they hardly ever OC & like beers too much. No threat at all 

Madshrimps that time amazing Team cup.

Had an idea come to mind.

How about a Socket A stage with a restriction of no NF2 chipset boards used?

Can be any bench you'd like ran and that would make the stage a real challenge to say the least of it.

lets make the 775 stage no intel chipsets

Leeg did say to let the hatred flow..... And I did with my suggestion which, BTW is just that and no more.

And wadda ya mean Team Comp?

That's already done for the year. ?

Let's do it one of those nvidia chipsets that had a failure rate of like 95% DOA just to add extra challenge on top of actual OC ?

... is it happy hour  fucca's 

A fun fact June 2020 is 20 years of socket A. No via please Nvidia chipset instead pleasure

" Superpi 32M  LGA775  - 7x multiplier (5 scores ) "

Now that is a very interesting idea, I like it.

Native 7x multiplier ?

Points when Team USA wins will be reset on January 1 correct? AKA this is not a good get rich quick scheme hwbpoint wise?

nope, you can use eg E8600 and run the bench at 7X

This should NOT be the case, if you want we can extend till the 3rd of January or such ( for your peace of mind)

Bclock stage, motherboard socket

Xeons will be allowed yes for S775

I have no problem with the big shot cards for Country Cup

As in titans or are we allowing radeon pro gpus? Dual fiji, dual vega, etc

So no xeons for 1366?

The best is no GPUPI Stage! Worst Benchmark here on HWBot.. sry.

Without any arguments your feedback is useless. Not sorry.
You are welcome to add some constructive feedback though, it might change things for the better in the future.

I love gpupi, the worst part is getting opencl driver to work but otherwise a great, secure, and simple bench. Especially when not on intel where it's 100% core oc with no mem matter

I love GPUpi, its one benchmark that's actually repeatable and responds to changes, like the original SuperPi. Bring it on, legacy GPUpi, socket 775

I wish there was a category stage for us laptop overclockers.
