Windows + stable FPS.

[Hazz]

I would like to know who actually has a near solid server side FPS on windows. I've found that windows drops from 500 to 200 every now and again.

If you have solid fps, how do you get the solid fps? Have you changed anything within windows?

[Derek]

So does linux?

[Hazz]

I don't know...never had experience with Linux, just wondering if anyone knew how to make windows fps stable...

[ComputerHelper]

mine is solid it will + or - one of two every now and then but no big problems

Server
Windows XP Pro SP3
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 Conroe 1333MHz FSB
2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 Wintec AMPX
500GB HDD Sata 2

I had a super stable windows once. Never went below 505. But I think it's pure luck.

[Drocona]

I'm with spartan on this one, I've installed servers that were rocksolid, though some others kept fluctuating while the configuration was identical.

Hazz here is a stable 1000fps server on windows.

connect 72.26.196.115:27015;password test

rcon_password test

[Hazz]

Wow, thats pretty impressive.

I'm guessing that has to be Windows Server 2008?

However, I should be able to achieve a stable 500FPS on 2003 right?

(Btw, I'm talking about CS:S, not 1.6 if it makes any difference)

[dualcore1289]

yea i have stable fps on my server boxes as well.

[Derek]

Yes, you should easily be able to get stable fps on 2003 hazz. What kind of hardware do you have ? How do you have your servers setup?

[Hazz]

I'm renting the box out from Racksrv, here are the specs and bits....


C2Q Q9300 @ 2.5Ghz (speedstep disabled)
Gigabyte G31MF-S2
2x2GB Corsair PC2-5300

I have the servers setup using the Brainless panel, however I've used Firedaemom and Meanloader in the past and still have had unstable fps.

Thanks for the replies guys.

[Derek]

How many slots you have running on that box? I have yet to check the specs of the mobo but that could also be a problem. How do you have the servers set up? Starting on CPU 0 ? Any servers forced to a CPU ?

[Hazz]

All servers are forced to a CPU.

The only used servers we have running atm is...

CSS

40 slots @ 33 tick -core0
24 slots @ 66 tick - core 1
11 slots @ 100 tick - core2

TF2

32 slots @ 33 tick - core3

[Derek]

Remove the forcing to a cpu and let windows handle that. Should fix your problem

[Hazz]

Ok, I'll give that a shot tomorrow.

Thanks
