Dual Cpu

[PRestij3]

Hi, I have a server with 2 cpus. Do you know how can I make games use both of the cpus so I can have better performance ? Thanks for your time

You can easily set up the Mojang’s Java version of Minecraft to use both CPU’s in an independent Realm so long as you have the bandwidth.

Call of Duty 2 also supports multi-CPU socket modes.

I know about mc but I would like to use both CPU’s on games like csgo

I am running win 10 home 64bit

From my understanding, Windows 10 Home will only recognize 1 physical CPU socket. Win10 Pro is needed for a dual socket, which you're running.

Are you sure ? If I get win 10 pro they will be both used in games ?

You aren't going to be running much or anything on that setup, that it's on ddr2 suggests it's old enough to probably not even support alit of modern in struction sets, if it does, being a pair of very old server cpu's, I can only guess that they are also very slow, so won't be running anything that needs or wants 8 cores anyway.

It’s good enough run fort on low (55-70 FPS) and cs at medium (70-80 FPS ) but it is unstable

is the op talking about a dual core cpu or a dual socket mobo with 2 cpus

either act the same as a (combined core/thread) cpu

but programs need to be designed to use more cores/threads to make use of them
there are a few 64+ core cpus but not many single programs can use them all at the same time

I have a dual socket mobo with 2 cpus that have 4 cores and 4 threads each (xeon x5365)

3ghz quad core xeons with no ht or turbo
socket 771

they are 9 year old cpus, much lower performance than current cpus
esp for games that depend on core performance

about the same as fx4100 alone or fx6100-8100 with the dual socket setup

ex. the i3 8100 is a quad core 3.6ghz, but destroys it at everything

Yeah mate I know they are old and they have low performance but I want to know if I can use both cpus for gaming to have slighly better performance (even 10 fps would be usefull)

if the os sees 8 cores its working as intended

nothing you can do to make a program use more cores than its designed to
windows does a good job at spreading core load across all available cores
using core affinity you can set specific programs to use specific cores tho

I would make it a dedicated server, used server ram is really cheap[www.amazon.com] use linux and steamcmd

[_I_]

its too slow to be a good game server
file or web server would be a much better task for it

^ depends on the game really, was thinking of the oldies like source games and maybe even Minecraft would be good depending on how many mods and users...

Are you sure ? If I get win 10 pro they will be both used in games ?

Yes, I'm sure Win10 Home will only recognize 1 CPU socket. If you get Win10 Pro it will see both CPUs, but the use of all cores will depend on the application needs.

Minecraft runs at 300 fps

"Do you know how can I make games use both of the cpus so I can have better performance ?"
You can't. It depends on how the application is programmed. The game is either SMP(Symmetric Multi-Processing) aware, or it's not.

No game will benefit from 2 physical CPUs due to the latency.

that is not true. logically a 2 socket 4 core system is no different then a single socket quad core. the hypertransport (AMD) or QuickPath (Intel) bus that connects them is incredibly fast and presents no discernible latency between sockets.

Windows 10 Home will only recognize 1 physical CPU socket. Win10 Pro is needed for a dual socket, which you're running.

^^^ this is the real issue. Different versions of windows support different socket configs for market segmentation purposes. Multi socket configs are simply not common in the desktop market.
