How much CSS-servers on this hardware

[NRG]

Hi,

i want to host some CSS gameservers (with Sourcemod) and i need to know how much servers can run on this hardware:

- Intel i7 3770 (4x 3,4GHz, Hyper-Threading)
- 16 GB DDR3-RAM

Are 12 servers or ~280 Slots possible?

Thanks.

Theoretically you can run as many as you want. Ideally though it all depends on your mods, gametypes, and players. Zombie, Some Minigames, and high scripting gamemodes use tonnes of CPU or even have memory leaks in the maps that will destroy your RAM usage.

General rule for me is one server per thread and you will never have a problem with CPU as srcds.exe isn't multi-threaded.
