Is Vantage a dual GPU stage? It's confusing because there are two subs as well.

For Vantage you need to use 2 gpu cores, so either 2 x gtx 260, 270, 275, 280, 285 or a single 295 card. 

Current stages are to give everybody an idea of which hardware to gather... Rules will be properly defined in the next days 

GTX 200 series dual GPU was just done in TC, was it not? what about GTX 500 series dual GPU instead?

TC not CC

I chose these again as most people will have these available... we can change to whatever is desired ofc

TC maybe, definitely not CC

For the AMD GPUPI for CPU DDR3 stage, is it limited to single socket? Or is multi socket allowed?

Always single cpu/gpu unless stated otherwise 

As fun as quad socket opteron would be, I think that's for the best lol

I'll finalize all stages this weekend , thus only a few more days to cast your inputs gents!

Similar to socket count, are Xeons not allowed, except where explicitly stated as being allowed?

Is ref clock meant to be s1150 or is that meant to be s1151 (v1)?

Where would you like to see Xeons? 

Not that I think they'd necessarily be part of the "optimal" set in any given stage as they stand at the moment, but it would be interesting to see how/if they'd affect that y-cruncher 2.5B stage. I figure the "optimal" set of subs would be something like 7350K, 5300G/5350G (forgot it was an Intel cpu only stage, but point somewhat still stands), 11600K, 9920X/10920X. It would be interesting to see if some random LGA 3647 Xeon could throw a wrench into things. Was just kind of curious, but not necessarily asking for them to be allowed in any given spot.

Please change back the CPU Frequency stage from AM4 to DDR3, would be a great opportunity for new benchers to get their 8 GHz club membership ?

^^this. I was looking forward to seeing all the 8ghz subs

I didn't think IGPUs could run GPUPI?

I'll say I'd love to have a 32M Super PI stage with FX setup so others can have a shot at a valid 8Ghz+ run too.
Only four guys total have ever done it, myself being one but I know others out there are capable too. I can see such a stage providing the opportunity to at least try so let 'em go for it, score some points and just have fun while taking on the challenge of getting it done if they can.

BTW CPU frequency runs are good too.....

They can, both the CPU and the GPU version.

I assume the frequency limits apply to both core/cache? Probably a good idea to state that if so.

Edit: is "unique processors" different from "unique processor cores"? Or does "unique processor cores" mean unique number of processor cores, in which case disabling cores might be a good idea to put in the rules.

Intel igpu can technically do it since Skylake, although it is hilariously slow. Amd igp can probably do it since gcn was used at least. Renoir and cezanne should do pretty well. 

Last check guys on sunday it will be final...

Would be nice to ban all Titans so we don't have any Titan RTX and Titan V sheenanigans, otherwise all good I think ?

I guess time to start dusting off the brew station and pull the covers on the dewars. 

Also just have to find my vaseline ?
