epid Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hello, I was wondering what CPU usage you guys saw for the following games and on what hardware: 1. Counter-Strike 1.6 2. Counter-Strike Source I run the following: Core 2 Duo E6600 (this was just a starter server) 2GB DDR2 Memory SATA Hard Drive (this is probably holding me back a lot) Windows Server 2003 64 Bit. Enterprise etc. and typically see 15%-20% CPU usage for a Counter-Strike Source server and less for Counter-Strike 1.6. Please let me know if you have any advice on the best hardware for these games, how much CPU usage you think I should be seeing, and how to bring it down. Thanks!

jbiloh Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 SATA Hard Drive (this is probably holding me back a lot) The SATA drive is not holding you back in the slightest. As I've said before, consider moving to the Quad Cores C2Q. You'll see a large increase in performance, and it will boost your bottom line considerably.

Defcon|Rich Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I would also recommend optimizing the OS for game serving and getting rid of any un necessary services running. Simply installing and running your servers on a default OS install is not real efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
