5 MB up

My upload speed is 5 mb. I've got a P4 3.2 HT w/ 2gbs of ram. I'm currently running a 24 slot 100 tick. I haven't gotten it quite filled yet. About 18/24 and it's been running fine. Will it be able to handle the full 24/24? If so how much more can i push? Thanks guys

What game? It should be able to handle a 24-slot TF2 server. Even more for non-orangebox games.

Alright awesome, and it's for CS:S.

You might be good for 32 slots, depending on your hardware specifications. It also depends if you run the server on the same computer you play on (which is HIGHLY unrecommended).

Beaver: Alright, and the server is completely dedicated. I'll test and see if 32 slots will work. Thanks guys.

Just incase you are testing with bots, you won't see any bandwidth usage . But I doubt you are, just wanted to make sure you don't waste your time.

So my P4 should be able to do the job? and if not could anyone assume how many slots i could run at 66 tick?

[Spartanfrog]

Around fifty 66 tickrate slots. However it probably will vary if you are on a residential connection?

Yes i'm on a residential connection. Cable. Optimum Online.

They might limit your bandwidth if they see a lot of traffic and if many people in your area are on the same node as you. Fifty will be your max however you might actually have poorer results.

I have 5Mbits (580kbits mess) too, but I have the Problem my Router fucked up at to many connections and NAT pakets exchange. Anybody know a good VDSL Modem for me to fix that problem?

PS: I can host a 12 Slots Server on Tickrate 100 with Highrates. It works good and my Bandwidh use 10-20% from my upload. But when I try to make more players my Router start to lagg and often it restart.

so i tested the server. 20 slots 512 fps i didn't get any lag, just in the beginning of the round my tick would drop to around 40-60.. then once people started to die it would go back to 100. I did fps_max 200. Wondering if this will allow me to get more slots? What do you guys think? Also i dont think the CPU was maxed out at 20/20... seems weird.

ok my testing went as follows:

20/20 100 tick 250 Fps max .. ran perfectly.
32 slots 66 tick.. i've only gotten this to 26 slots so far.. and seems to be running alright. my ping would go up 2-3 ms though at times.
