64 player server specs?

[PipPi.GlockStocking.SaCo]

Howdy yall,

Id like to run a 64 player server but all I can find from an old tripwire form post made years ago is that the CPU needs to be high gigahertz and thats about it. Currently im on a Xeon 1630v3@3.7GHZ with turbo mode on but on a full server the pings will climb and choppers will start to skip around in the sky :(. So I have set the player count way down and it did help but some maps will play fine till certain points of it like the midgame of Firebase map and it will start to choke. I have access to dual CPU dells and supermicros but not sure what to pick for the best lag free 64 player experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated


current server specs below

CPU:Xeon 1630v3 @ 3.70 GHZ with turbo mode on
RAM: 32GB (never seen it use more than 15%)
NIC: Onboard intel brand 1gb connection in a Data Center
Storage: Two SSD's in RAID 1 + RAID card
OS: Win server 2012R2 standard

People are running 64 players with less.

Is there anything else your machine may be doing? Also how many other game servers is it running.

nope this is a barebone dedicated server set up just to play around with hosting a single 64 user NAM server. The only thing Ive meesed with config wise is web admin crap and the player count everything else has been left alone in the configs.

What are the pings you are seeing. Particulary interested in your own as I assume you are close.

I'm not all too familier with hosting. I've always rented. But those rented servers are often less powerful and are of course running multiple servers on a single machine. Their CPUs have more cores but lower speeds. But since this is single threaded your machine for a single server should be far better suited.

I'm interested too on optimal specs for dedicated server. I would like to know approx how much CPU Mhz and network usage every player needs

[PipPi.GlockStocking.SaCo]

Yep I host it in the same city I live in. On empty my ping to my own server is around 18. When full or certain maps make it choke im up in the 80's while everyone else is over 110 steady

@RiceMane I think I know someone who may willing to help you since he is experienced in hostsing with a dedicated server in rs2. Contact me first.
