-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] sv_maxrate won't matter too much if you don't increase sv_maxupdateratre Also we found that on >18 player servers, hell most servers if you bump fps_max up to 600 tickrate 66 & sv_maxupdaterate 100 that you get lots of choke with sv_maxrate 10000. You can see it quite easily when you play and measure your incoming bandwidth on the client on a server setup with maxrate 20000, you will get up to 16KB/s incoming so long as there are enough players and enough action going on. sv_maxrate also seems to be a large factor on CPU usage (I dont understand why, it just does) turning it down really lightens the CPU load.
