gemcneill Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I have found that if running TF2 or any orangebox game that if I do not set the affinity MOST of the time there are issues. However if I set the affinity, the server fps is inconsistent. Has anyone else experienced this? If not would you be willing to share any insight/configs you are using?

Dan M Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We have used the default config flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingJ Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Under a different panel, I always set affinity manually to help load-balance. However, if you let the processes float between cores (i.e no affinity set) i've not noticed any degradation in performance or FPS stability. We've been letting them float since implementing TCAdmin and had no complaints about FPS instability or noticed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeggle Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 No problems with TF2 here, and it is no surprise that setting affinity could affect the fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 setting the affinity can lead to cache line bouncing and other weird issues. however, that doesn't mean there isn't chipset errata going on that is triggered by setting the affinity.

gemcneill Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 The issue I am seeing is that that if I do not set the cpu affinity every few min all cpus will spike to 100% then come back down. If I set the affinity this does not happen. I am using dell servers with duel core opterons (2). I have seen several cvars that seem to deal with multicore support , but from what I read about them, they only deal with listen servers and separating the server cpu usage and game play. I saw that EndlessGaming is using a default config, is anyone else using any custom command lines or configs? George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemcneill Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yes I am should I not be for these servers? George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 No. TF2 only requires a 30hz clock, not 1000hz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
