-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] For the record, 250HZ is the default for the linux kernel. ;)
And people say 1000fps for their server the same little kids put OC48 or something similarly silly in their server name. It's a marketing gimmick that little kids fall for. The real secret to having good servers is to not overload them. Period. ;) Simple stuff like a 1000HZ kernel and setting affinity and nice (if you can, anyway) are all you'll need for the most part. Nightly reboots also help. Just my $.02. -tsuehpsyde SourceKills.com On 10/3/07, Whisper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > Heh > > Server fps is not a calculation under SRCDS > > Server fps is how often per second the SRCDS process does Input & Output > > A few interesting points to note. > > The default fps_max is 300 > The default sv_maxupdaterate is 60 > The default tickrate is 33 > > No Windows OS based machine by default will do more than 64 fps > > It is my understanding the the default kernel timer for Linux is 100 (I > could be wrong about that) > > Now the question becomes knowing all of this, is what was the design > consideration Valve had at the time when choosing an fps_max value of 300 > when all other default values for SRCDS & Operating systems would never > have > taken advanatge of it.
