We have systems equipped with a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+. Each system is running two 24 slot tf2 servers, that is one tf2 server per cpu core. The average cpu load per core is about 67-73% but in worst case we can se them go as high as 80-90%. While this is high load it is not noticeable laggy in-game, however the server is really struggling maintaining the 300 maxfps. It frequently drops to about 50 which makes me think, do we have a problem - perhaps with bad server or kernel settings?
Before we investigate this further I'd like to get a feel of what the normal load should be and what kind of hardware is required for a 24 slot tf2 server so please post your hardware details and cpu load so we can compare. $ uname -a Linux tf2-1 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 #2 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 7 21:56:30 CEST 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux 1000hz timer frequency kernel metamod sourcemod hlstatsx plugin sourcebans plugin _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
