zeropluszero Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 please tell us this isnt a preview of the actual team cup? who still has this stuff? Quote
robbo2 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I like the idea of using older hardware, but this old? I'm hoping it's not a preview of the real thing too Quote
Luebke Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 old? only k7 an pentium II are old, for the other stages u need the newest hardware... i like the idea. so u don´t need to much money and everybody can compete Quote
robbo2 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 old? only k7 an pentium II are old, for the other stages u need the newest hardware... i like the idea. so u don´t need to much money and everybody can compete I just think something like K10 and Core2 would be great. Still old, but cheap and easy to find. Quote
Massman Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 please tell us this isnt a preview of the actual team cup? who still has this stuff? Other than the "spirit" there is no connection between the warm-up competitions and the actual Team Cup. Quote
Luebke Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 @robbo2: i like the idea of changing the required hardware often, so there is no binned hardware and everybody has the same chance to win. Quote
I.nfraR.ed Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I think this year TeamCup will include Ati (Radeon) subcompetition like the Nvidia last year and most probably there will be hwbot prime subcompetition . Quote
Luebke Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 yeah there aren´t to much current manufacturer of gpu... because of that i like the classic competitions with non-nvidia/amd... Quote
Rasparthe Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Its good to have a competition that doesn't require the usual binned newest generation stuff. Plenty of other competitions like that. Besides your Team Points are calculated by all your hardware, no need to turn this one into who has the best sponsorship. Quote

MrBreeze Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Just sold my only K7, man was that a dumb idea. Any word on when the real thing is happening? Quote
metallo97 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 In the fifth stage, we must use a single core/single die cpu or we can use even a multi core cpu with cores shut down? Quote
max1024 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Tell me about Via SuperPI 1M {LIMITATIONS} Only use Via processors. Can I run SuperPI on Cyrix CPU? (Historically Via bought Cyrix), or only one way to use VIA C3 and VIA C7 cpu? Ths. Quote
Luebke Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 cyrix III = via c3, isn´t it? Ö_Ö but cyrix 6x86 is ibm, not via, right? Quote
Massman Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 In the fifth stage, we must use a single core/single die cpu or we can use even a multi core cpu with cores shut down? "Single Core" is one of the benchmark settings of Geekbench. You can run with all cores enabled! Quote
zeropluszero Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Other than the "spirit" there is no connection between the warm-up competitions and the actual Team Cup. You know I meant in terms of the age of hardware requirements. Quote
Luebke Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 @zeropluszero: don´t be afraid, on team-cup comes real old hardware like pentium 1 and voodoo II Quote
d3mox Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 @zeropluszero: don´t be afraid, on team-cup comes real old hardware like pentium 1 and voodoo II So I have to do ebay research now Quote
Luebke Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 @d3mox: hardcore challange: stage 1: final reality stage 2: aquanox stage 3: 3D Mark 99 all limited to pentium 1/AMD 586/Cirix/IBM 5x86 stage 4: 3D Mark 2k voodoo full out Quote
max1024 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 cyrix III = via c3, isn´t it? Ö_Öbut cyrix 6x86 is ibm, not via, right? So what about this? I need official answer on my question. Quote
