How many slots with a i7 server

[ComputerHelper]

How many slots of CSS 100tick could I run with the following:

Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz
12GB DDR3 1333 Ram
300GB VelociRaptor

This is not a home PC its built on a Workstation Mobo from Asus and will be colo'd

My best advice is to just fill it up with bots @ 100 tickrate and see when the CPU maxes out

[ComputerHelper]

will try it soon

Got any results with it?
Would be interesting to know what it holds

[ComputerHelper]

did some testing with it

We were able to get 250 CS:S 100tick slots, with no problems what so ever.

Will keep you poseted

Hmm interesting.
Altough the Mainboards and RAM are still expensive (compared to a normal server with q9550) these tests make me believe that it's quite worth it's money

Big thx

Keeping in mind thats bots as well, which uses a lot more CPU.

250 slots? Damn !

Wow, with actual players I think this is going past the 80x 100tick per core.....

Are you able to provide a video or screen shots to show this?

[zhelev81]

I have

Intel® Core™ i7-870 Processor
(8M Cache, 2.93 GHz) + 8 gig ram

and this is more powerfull than this one so i can have how many slots

on 66 tick

can you answer me this ?

[BehaartesEtwas]

number of slots per cpu strongly depends on many factors, so in reality nobody will be able to give you a precise answer. also the orangebox engine requires more cpu power than the old one (I assume you are talking about one of CSS, DODS, TF2)...

the only viable way of getting an answer is trying it out. if you do it, do not use bots (they will give you a very different result). I do not expect 4x80 slots on that cpu to be possible, at least not with a high quality.

the better question would be the other way round: tell us what you plan to do, and we might give you a hint what hardware you will need.

and btw: next time please open your own thread, this one is rather old. it's good that you use the search function, but each new problem should get its own thread. thanks.

1 game server per thread will prevent them from lagging each other some what.

Leave thread 0 open for the OS. So 7 game servers, whatever size you want.

Love the dead thread raising lol.
