Now that Team Cup 2024 has ended, it is time to plan the next big thing - Country Cup 2024.

Let us know your stage proposals and keep in mind the structure known from previous competitions:

  • CPU
  • GPU
  • Memory
  • Miscellaneous

Proposals:

  • WPrime 1024M Single Core Dogpile

cpu stage ideas:

  • cpu profile max, 1155 only
  • geek 4 or 5, amd only, 6 core only, ddr3 / ddr4 / ddr5 
  • ycruncher 10b or 5b by socket
  • gpupi for cpu 100m dual cores only
  • geekbench 3 conroe 4m
  • pifast by socket i3, ddr3 only 

 

gpu stage ideas:

  • G92 cloud gate or 06, x58 only
  • 2GB vram max, heaven extreme
  • nvidia 600 series vantage gpu score
  • hd 4000 series 05, quad cores only
  • hd 7000 superposition 1080p

 

memory ideas: 

  • zen 1 / + / 2 / 3 32m, 4ghz freq limit
  • pifast by ddr gen (1-5), 4ghz freq limit
  • geek 3 mem score, 1366 only, 4ghz freq limit

 

misc ideas:

  • 3dmark 11 physics, gddr5 only, cpu mem clock cannot be higher than gpu mem clock

 

i'll think of more later

Is it possible to add one more stage - old / ancient / dinosaurs stage?

We would be happy to work with such platforms as 370 \ 462 \ 754 \ 939 \ 478. As I understand it, soon we will also ask 775 \ 1156 \ 1366 \ AM2+ \ AM3+ to be moved to a separate branch 😅

Imagine how time consuming such a stage would be ?

I honestly don't like Dogpile Stages at all.
I cant see the purpose,the usefulness of such stages.

Glad to hear what other members think about it.

Slot 1 / Socket 370 SuperPi 32M ? ;)

It was a troll proposal by the old man. A dogpile stage based on time is not possible in the current competition engine anyway, I think. 😄

It's got to be a spread of ALL benchmarks and platforms (especially GPU's).

People will tend to advance the hardware they have very good scores with otherwise.

Just saying.

I would rather leave it to Albi and the mods .

I fully support no dogpile, it (dogpile) promotes quantity over quality, which is against the idea of 'keep pushing' imho.

I would play with something like low clock by socket/generation in 32M or GB3 with fixed core count and some incentive to pull one of those Socket A dinosaurs out ;)

Dogpile is a bunch of extra work for nothing.  All of those OEM boards and shit have to be entered in the DB, and you'll never see another sub on it again. Waste of time and space. 

Not every dogpile is for BCLK and therefore not every dogpile requires DB work. In fact as far as I know, this was the first BCLK dogpile. Others I remember are Aquamark and x265.

Sounds fun, but with 4GHz limited to max 1333MHz mem (unless you allow uncore > core which I would advise against), so  maybe 4500 limit? That should allow *any* viable mem config given the IMCs.
Edit: perhaps unique mem IC, though that would be pretty difficult to enforce.

that would also work well, I just picked 4ghz since its an easy low number to hit, as long as its relatively easy to hit ambient on chips I think it would be good 
also I think allowing xeons for the stage probably would make sense

We are trying to get new people involved in our passion.

Why do we insist on using old hardware although it is fun and I enjoy it .

New people will not be interested in X299 for instance as well as the other dinosaur platforms mentioned.

Our success will count on the future , not the past .

Because old platforms are cheap, popular and you don’t mind them. Try, experiment, solder something without any fear.
Not everyone can afford to overclock and put at risk home platforms that cost as much as 1 or more months' salary.
I am not asking you to replace all stages, please note. I suggested simply adding just one category, so that those who cannot afford expensive hardware could give battle to the top benchers)
