Hey, i just finished tweaking my srcds server using the "creating a lag-free hl2 server" guide.
i found it alot of use, but my srcds is topping out at 512fps with tweaks in that gude and the fps unlocker.
Im wondering what else i can do to get closer to the 1000fps mark.. my hardware is pritty nice.
Dualcore intel 2* 3.2Ghz 65NM process 2*2MB
75GB SCSI 15K rpm Hotswap HDD's
Asus P5LD2-VM
2GB 4*512MB DDR2 667Mhz all matched
Windows server 2003 enterprise
any ideas what else i can do? im sure my hardware is capable of outputting more
For windows i think thats it, i've never really seen anything more than 500fps, when i ran a linux hlds server it'd run at 1000FPS with the kernel timer set to 1000 but srcds would stay at 500fps and this was with a dual opteron 252 4GB ram.

so, do you think its possible to get it more then 512fps?
im doing an OS reload today in a datacentre so i will be doing some tweaks, i read in that hl mailbox setting mpc multiproccessor drivers is better then acpi
I'm always stuck at about 512fps
I also have an Opteron @ 2,7ghz but there seems to be a limit.
I'm using Kernel_Frequenzy Timer. Witouht it I'm stuck at 60fps. lol.

I take back my previous post, im recalling before when i ran Gentoo GNU/Linux on one of my servers, srcds would indeed go about 1000fps. Don't ask how I personally did it, I know i made a seriously light kernel, i was using hardware raid10 SCSI drives. I think it was an optimized amd64 glibc that is what helped. It boosted my memory read/write and I recall running the srcds directly on the memory instead of the hard drive. and i also remembered not having swap to keep from paging.
Running it on the memory takes ALOT of know how and i don't recommend doing it unless you know what you're doing. You need to have other things running on the memory as well since your memory has alot more I/O bandwidth than your drives. And if you wish to attempt this, i only recommend it for an amd64 based cpu, not intel's with EM64T. Reason being is because of the much stronger memory controller than intel could have. You can try it, but eh, i still say you're better off trying on an amd64.
I take no responsibility if you break something on your system because i i warned you not to do it.
If you break it, take it to the forums or irc channel of your linux distro.
