Lucas Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Dual Processor Dual Core Opteron 270 - 2.0GHz - 4 x 1MB cache 4 GB DDRI Registered 400 250GB SATA II 10 Mbps Uplink Windows Server 2003 Standard R2 (32 bit) How much 100Tick 500FPS boosted servers can I run there? I'm planning on at least running two 18 slots servers with 100Tick and one 24 slots with 66Tick. I would maybe like to add a 4th. How would all these perform if I changed them all to 100Tick with 500FPS? Help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 That server should run those just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 So it would run 4 servers with 100Tick and 500FPS just fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 It should. That's a good sized machine. You will actually have 8 virtual CPUs since it is Dual CPU and Dual Core. The only thing you may want to upgrade is the 10 Mbps Uplink to a 100 Mbps card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Where do you see the virtual CPUs? I can see on the task manager just 4 CPUs (which are the physical). I'll be upgrading it as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daersun Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 ECF is on crack, its not HT, it has 4 cores. Just make sure that each server doesnt max a single core, HL is single threaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 How do you boost them to 500fps? Also, I've seen there is an app that lets you set each srcds.exe to one core/cpu so each one runs on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 ECF is on crack, its not HT, it has 4 cores. Ooops, guess I should put the crack pipe away. Jordan is correct. 4 Cores. However the server will still handle the load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Also, if you plan to run TCAdmin you can use the "Start on CPU 0" option in the game config. This compensates fro HL's lack of multithreading, and will start the process on CPU 0, then spread it across all CPUs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 HL doesn't have this bug anymore.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 When was this changed? We have had clients report it as little as a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Few months back.. make sure you're at release 23 (it's 23 or 24) for the core engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Need to read the HLDs mailing list more often I guess. Thanks for the info Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cengroba Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I had this issue on one of my servers, all the game servers were trying to run off cpu 0 and the other three cores were only around 2%. Doing what ECF said fixed the problem. Whats strange is that it only did it on that server, my other ones are working perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Could be that the problem may be specific to hardware? We have also seen some people that it doesn't happen to while it happens to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 i think windows also sources interrupts off of cpu0, if i remember correctly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamnp Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 The multithreading, that just applies to hlds not srcds if im correct so far...or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 It was prone to both back when it was a problem. But according to Gary, they have fixed it. I however have not tested either yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
