In June of last year I decided i wanted to run a GarrysMod server. So I did it. From June-October I ran the server on a 2.5Ghz Dual Core with 2GB of RAM. In October i built my self a computer and used the old one as the server from October-Yesterday. That was a 3.0Ghz Dual Core with 4GB of RAM. In mid December I felt like I needed an upgrade. I then spent $1000 on quite an upgrade that came yesterday. Its a 3.4Ghz E3-1270 Xeon processor with 16GB of RAM, the worst part, it isn't really an upgrade from the 3.0Ghz Dual Core... The pings are basically the same and the FPS is a little higher, but i was expecting much more for what i paid. Why doesn't SRCDS have the capability to use what processing power i have? Is there anything I can do to force my computer to focus on the server a little more? My CPU usage jumps from 1% to about 6% regardless of the people and or props on the server. The only thing I can think of that could possibly be limiting my improvement would be my upload speed, at 3MB/s i was hoping I could host 10 people comfortably. Thanks SRCDS.
(PS its an engine/car/chassis server, so we pretty much have the laggiest stuff possible)
Thanks for any help.
