CPU Usage


epid

Recommended Posts

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!

 

Ryan

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.

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.

 

Well, I did optimize it by removing unnecessary services. Have any other tips for optimizing it?
