The time for HWBot's Annual Team Cup is on us again. As the defending champion, Overclock.net will be facing quite a bit of opposition. To help us combat that, we need you!
This year's competition focuses on high-end performance platforms released from 2000 until 2012. There are four sub-competitions which each have stages with different hardware. Each sub-competition (abbreviated SC) concentrates on a different benchmark. SC1 focuses on SuperPi 1M, SC2 focuses on 3DMark03, SC3 focuses on 3DMark Vantage, and SC4 focuses on benchmarking in front of a live audience.
Follow the links for the HWBot description of each individual stage below! This will clear up a lot of confusion.
HWBot Team Cup 2013 | SC1 | SC2 | SC3 | SC4
If you're interested, post here with the stages in which you would like to participate in addition to the hardware you will be using. The stages are date specific so there is a lot of hardware that you can't use. If you're not positive, ask!
