Steady 1000fps in source?

[xP3000]

Server Spec:

 

Intel Xeon Quad Core X3370

8GB Ram

146GB 15K RPM

Windows 2008 Server 64bit

 

I have setup a server running 1000fps and when i log into the server go to console and type "rcon stats" the FPS ranges from 400 to 999?

 

how can i get it to steady stay at 999? or even between 800 - 999?

[Admin-Nation-Servers]

Do you have hpet enabled in the bios?

[xP3000]

yes otherwise i wouldnt be able to even go over 512?

 

correct me if i'm wrong!

[Derek]

no, you can get up to 512 without hpet.. you run srcdsfpsbooster

[xP3000]

please re-read what i have said?

 

to get to 512 you need srcds fps booster

to get over 512 you need windows 2008 and HPET.

 

and i'm getting 999 fps but its dropping to 400, i just wanted to know how i can get it to be more stable at/or between 800-999fps?

dont run windows.

That's not true. I have servers without HPET and have achieved 1000 fps.

[Santino Cid]

dont run windows.

I've actually read a few places that Windows 2008 is more stable with FPS for SRCDS than Linux. Food for thought.

 

Anyways...

We've had SRCDS running on Win. 2k8 x64 at an absolute solid 999.00-1000.00.

 

The components necessary for 1000 FPS:

 

- HPET

- Win. 2k8

- srcdsfpsbooster

- Proper server.cfg

 

It's like fire, if any of the above elements are not there you are not getting 1000 FPS.

That's not true. I have servers without HPET and have achieved 1000 fps.

Seconded.

[Admin-Nation-Servers]

The fps without HPET is way less stable and does jump from 1000-500 for us.

[powerpc]

Why srcdsfpsbooster on 2008?

[Admin-Nation-Servers]

Proof (Lol)

[tehrichie]

On screen keyboard

[Derek]

why is everything blacked out I dont understand.

[tehrichie]

Doesn't want to share his secrets.

[Derek]

Doesn't want to share his secrets.

 

yea, then why post it.

[tehrichie]

yea, then why post it.

 

Just proving a point I guess

[GodFather]

Or maybe he just doesn't want you to see some of his files on the desktop, but still wants to show proof for the topic?

 

Anyways, 1000 fps will always have dips, but they are usually for just a few moments. Windows vrs Linux SRCDS is nearly the same, but you can sometimes tweak linux to help the SRCDS run a little more stable.

You can't sometimes tweak linux you can always tweak linux (recompile the kernel) and linux vs windows isn't just nearly the same it's not even close. Linux with compiling the kernel correctly is hell of alot more stable then a windows 2008 machine with hpet (not just a little)

[GodFather]

Let me quote myself so you can re-read

 

Windows vrs Linux "SRCDS" is nearly the same. I quoted the SRCDS so you have an idea.

 

You're correct - recompiling the kernel will make it more stable. I said tweak because of SRCDS, not the linux box itself. "Tweaking" linux was used in conjunction with SRCDS so I'll rephrase

 

"Recompiling Linux to help the SRCDS run a little more stable."

 

By a 'little more stable' I haven't really noticed a big difference in FPS between a properly recompiled linux and server 2008 with HPET enabled.

You havent noticed because you dont run a game server provider, just because you run a few tf2 servers doesnt mean a whole lot. How about dealing with thounsands of game servers ?

 

It's a fact that windows 2008 with hpet providers terribly unstable fps if you fit a few servers on a box.

[GodFather]

Well, I'm running 3 sponsored servers with Admin-Nation servers. All 3 full + with his clients also with full servers, running windows server 2008 and I'm getting stable 1000 FPS. What does a thousand game servers have to do with a single box? If you limit the hardware and game servers like cough, a gsp should do. Cough.

 

Having that set amount with 1000 FPS servers won't really matter. They'll drop, that's a fact, but it runs just as stable. The amount of servers that are on that 1 box + our 1000 FPS servers hasn't made it any more unstable than linux.... and neither has it in the past either.

 

Maybe you just fail at setting it up correctly? Wait, you're a GSP. You don't offer 1000FPS because you think 250FPS is better or as good as 1000FPS or totally useless... I remember now, I remember that your logic is flawed

Unless things have changed, you cant run tcadmin with Linux, unless you are one of the few people that had the Linux client, found a way to run Linux and tcadmin using some kind of emulation (mono) or you have a separate panel to run linux based servers.

 

If its the first 2 please share what you are doing cause I am sure all GSPS would like to know how to not pay microsoft a licensing fee. If it is the last, then shame on you, you two timer game panel users

I am getting not constant 1000FPS but around 990-1000FPS

1.Run HPET in bios

2.Windows 2008

3. Make sure your not OVERSTACKING/OVERLOADING tons of server in that cpu core.

Maybe 1-2 1000FPS in each core.

4. Run in 1 affinity

5. Go to service setting and change it to "realtime priority or high"

6. Don't forget to run the booster

7. Make sure you have fps_max 0 in command line and 100ticks

 

that should work. it isn't CONSTANT 1000FPS but its around 990-1000FPS mostly 1000FPS but i do see it go down to like 990FPS, etc.

but that isn't such a big difference unless your going down to 400fps or something.

[GodFather]

It's very common for 1000 FPS to drop to even in the 200's (or lower). But it's only for shorts amount of time that play little roll in making it unstable.

 

Trace, also to note that Stable 1000 FPS isn't total 1000 FPS. If it's at around the 1000 mark for a long time, or pretty much most of the time, it's stable 1000 FPS. The posts were more regarded to 1000 FPS unstable rarely at the 800 mark lol. But it's great that your servers are running at that level for a long period of time

 

SRCDS is SRCDS: It won't become any more unstable from the operating system, just the operating system (Linux) can have a rebuilt kernal to provide a little more stability for SRCDS as a whole.
