HWBOT Team Cup 2013 - SC3: Vantage Full-out - 3DMark Vantage - Performance

The third stage of the Team Cup revolves around the CPU-bound 3D benchmark 3DMark Vantage Performance. For this sub-competition, which has one stage for Intel and AMD per year, you can use as much graphic card horsepower as you can find - the only limitation is the CPU platform to be used. There are no limitations on the amount of CPUs that can be used: if you manage to find a platform that can run 42 CPUs, it's allowed! The point distribution is similar to sub-competition one and two: 50 points for the winner, 41 points for the runner up, 36 points for the second runner-up all the way down to one point. Every entry in the stage will be awarded at least one point. All points are contributing to the overall Team Cup total. You can participate in as much stages as you want.
