Country Cup 2022 Planning Thread

[yosarianilives]

Okay here's my comments

AMD CPU - GOOD

Intel CPU 

• ycruncher 1b - Can we allow xeons with same core count as consumer chips?
• 3dmark physics - F sku banned, although not explicitly. Overall seems fine and I like the idea, igp is an interesting challenge too
• cpu freq - stage is fine, just something to look out for there are ways to show all cores at a clock speed when it's just  one core. Should be pretty obvious if done though

AMD GPU

• Heaven xtreme xfire - rules say use 2 videocards so it may seem that 6990 quadfire is allowed as it has cayman core and 590 was allowed in similar circumstance in team cup
• gpupi 1b - if server cards like mi25 not allowed then there are a total of 4 cards allowed for this stage
• Firestrike ultra - can we drop to extreme or normal firestrike, the vram requirement makes system ram oc have a large performance impact as seen last time we did fsu for country cup on dual gpu cards

Nvidia GPU - GOOD

[exaberries]

for non k oc, might be a good idea to also explicitly block 'x' suffix chips

heaven xtreme rule change is good, 6990 wouldn't be allowed because different core codename but other dual gpus that would work exist but are fairly rare

Not according to database

For Vega/GCN5 Gpu-Pi wouldn't the Vega APUs also count?

Then you'd have a lot of options to fill in the blanks.

ofcourse they are all listed as GCN 5th gen

6990 is listed at HWBot as Cayman core... so it can be used

6850x2 or 6870x2 would be added quickly if you had them i'm sure

[exaberries]

also https://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/radeon_hd_6870_x2/ very much in database

Well this , makes things a bit better.

The description messed up (for me) that Vega stage (a videocard is not an apu or igpu)

Quote

LIMITATIONS

• Only use videocard from the GCN 5th Generation (Vega) family.
• Use 1 videocard core(s) in total.
• No server videocards
• A verification screenshot is required, using the official background, (BM) score, CPU-Z 2.03 tabs for CPU, motherboard and memory and GPU-Z

That's why i wrote earlier , that we have limited options.

Anyway

We could also setup this stage as an HBM/HBM2 vga's only (more options) ?

Can we add LGA 2011 to Intel Stage 1  ?

or is it left out on purpose ?

I already see it listed:

"Only use processors using socket LGA1150, LGA1156 socket, LGA1155 socket, LGA2011 socket, LGA2011-3 socket, LGA2066 socket"

Yes, Alby took care of it.

Look one post before yours.
