Fps dropping horribly

[rgshadow]

Hiya the server specs we are running are as follows:

2x 3.06GHZ Dual Xeon
2GB of RAM
100mbit line

The fps is fine when everyone is standing still then when the round starts it drops to ~ 70. The CPU usage RAM usage and network is all fine. It runs normally at 600 - 700 fps. Just had a couple of 4on4 and it drops now and again to 70 ish.

Help (

[assmunk]

are you using srcdsfpsboster, if not download it it should help out alot, or you can run wmp which has the same affect but uses more recorces

[dualcore1289]

obviously hes using some kind of booster, as how would his fps be 600-700?

[assmunk]

well you never know , and he can also he/she using a version that doesn't keep the fps very stable

[rgshadow]

Yup I am using srcdsbooster. When the server is in full swing there is about 30% usage on the whole system including a TF2 server so I don't understand how it could drop so low.

Server 2008 if it helps.

What type of Xeon processor is it?

[rgshadow]

The 300mb srcds is the TF2 server.

Intel Xeon 3.06 GHz 533 FSB/512KB x2

you having the same issue as me. I got 8 servers running on my box with 3.0ghz dual quad xeons and 8gb of ram and one server is having trouble holding fps. I cant figure it out i think windows is just fail =\

[rgshadow]

Thing is it runs BF2 servers / Cod4 servers etc all fine

[Ryan]

heres my problem...


CPU    In     Out     Uptime   Users   FPS    Players
83.42 77820.59 296503.91 1030 10 46.51 22

thats 1 server. dust2 pub

Ugh and that would be 46 tick ... ouch.

[Ryan]

exactly it drops to 46 tic.. idk why i have a booster i have fps_max 600 i have 8 cores, 8gigs of ram, server 2k3... i cant figure it out

[Hazz]

Are you assigning servers to different CPU cores? (Affinity)

If so let Windows balance them. If not, try setting the servers to use a certain core, making sure they cores are evenly loaded.

You also need to make sure you are running the servers at high priority!

[Ryan]

i had them at high priority and they seemed to be worse...

[rgshadow]

Tried setting them to high, realtime and low to see the difference.. Still get the same thing! I tried setting affinity then letting windows manage the load and still the same result.[/align]
