[TF2] How many servers?
#1
I'm getting a dedicated server soon to host Team Fortress 2 servers.

Specs:
AMD Opteron 8-Core 2.40GHz, 16GB DDR3 RAM, 2x 2TB 7.2k SATA-III HDDs, 100Mbit Unmetered, Windows Server 2008 64-Bit

Just wondering how many servers that thing can run.

Currently Planned Servers:
  • 24/7 Trade 32-Slot
  • 24/7 Turbine 24-Slot
  • 24/7 Control Points 18-Slot [My team's personal Highlander/6v6 Server]

I'm not worried so much about the CPU as the bandwidth. How much bandwidth would an average 32-Slot server use?

Thanks in advance!

short answer:
8 fully loaded servers (may actually drop FPS with 32 slots)
or
100 or more empty servers

8 32-slot servers or what?

I'm not planning on having that many for the time being as I'd also like to have a core open for the OS and possibly an IRC server.

Thanks either way, I appreciate it! Smile (I was planning on allocating 1 core to each server; and the CPU in the dedi can do AMD's Turbo up to 2.70GHz without the sacrifice of any cores so I'll see if I can do that.)
