So further summarizing?

Needed a large space to form more of a collected usage chart, so making a new topic icon_smile.gif Hoping to get almost all posted Usage Figures. Here Goes:

Pentium 2.4ghz
64 Player BF1942:DC - 90%

Pentim 2.8ghz
16 Player CS:1.6 - %18 || Map Change 35%

Dual Xeon Power?
16 Player CoD - 4%
16 Player CoD: UO - 10%
32 Player BF1942 - 15%
32 Player BF:V - 20%
16 Player Mohaa - 4%
16 Player Mohaa Breakthrough - 4%
16 Player Mohaa Spearhead - 16%
16 Player Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - 7%
16 Player UT2004 - 16-18%
16 Player C & C Renegade - 15%
16 player CS 1.6: 6%
16 player CS:CZ: 7%
16 player UT2K4 Onslaught: 18-25%
16 player CS 1.6: 5-8%
16 player CS:CZ: 6-9% (Slightly higher than CS 1.6)

Dual Xeon 2.8ghz with 1GB/Ram
16 player Battlefield Vietnam - 3% cpu
20 player CS:1.6 4%

Dual Xeon 2.4 ghz with 1.5GB/Ram
16 Player CS - 6%
27 Player HLTV - 4%

Call of duty: where can I find Win32 dedicated server file?
klaude
There is none. You need to upload the whole game and run CoDMP.exe + set dedicated 1 or + set dedicated 2 to run a dedicated server.

This is just for personal expierience and may vary with other people. Also, this is total cpu usage, not just on one virtual cpu.

OS - Windows 2003 Server

16 Player CoD - 4%
16 Player CoD: UO - 10%
32 Player BF1942 - 15%
32 Player BF:V - 20%
16 Player Mohaa - 4%
16 Player Mohaa Breakthrough - 4%
16 Player Mohaa Spearhead - 16%
16 Player Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - 7%
16 Player UT2004 - 16-18%
16 Player C & C Renegade - 15%
16 player CS 1.6: 6%
16 player CS:CZ: 7%

If I'm wrong, or you have other server CPU usage, post it here.


All those servers running at one time on one box?

Does anyone have any type of stats about running halo? Thanks
nolimitz84
On my Dual xeon 2.8ghz with 1gig ram

With 8 halo servers up all full cpu usage averages around 65% with spiking around 75% so thats around 8.1% per 16 man halo server(full) which is pretty good if you ask me. I love my dual xeons icon_razz.gif
tekkitan
what about CS:Source CPU usage?
Sublime
A 12 player I host uses up to 15% when full. A 32-player I host uses around 25%. There both normally full.

Ofcourse it might vary for some but this is dual 2.8 with 2gigs of ram.
DevilsNight
Can we get some specs on bf 2 servers, thanks
tekkitan
there are a couple threads already created showing bf2 usage.
Defiance

You need them? I have a tarbal of them from a little bit ago somewhere icon_smile.gif

On a side note
AVP2 - 12 players = 1-2% cpu and about 10 megs memory LOL.

Anyone know about how much a 12 port FPS boosted CS1.6 server uses?
gamingoverdose
cpu the battlefield recorder takes up on a battlefield2 server
Cheekzilla
Would I be able to host
(4) SWAT4 servers 16 slots
(1) CS:Source 24 slots
(1) BF2 24 slots on one server
(1) Ventrilo 30 slots
on one machine. Thanks for this thread
klaude
I'm not sure how well swat runs, so I couldn't specualte there, though the BF2 is pushing it. I'd guess no unless swat was super cpu efficient.
Cheekzilla
I doubt it is efficient. I have heard that it is comparable to UT2004 (same engine). If I read this thread right and UT2004 uses approx 15-18% per 16 slot game than I would be maxed out without even trying the BF2.

Using this box for a clan and not hosting for clients what would be a decent threshold % for usage? Would I be ok if I was using 90% with all servers full, or do I need more room? Thanks again for the help

Were these games running concurrently, ie at the same time?

Command & Conquer - Renegade
Full 40 Slots = 30% CPU Usage

I believe Renegade has a VERY bad Net Code which is the primary cause of this spike in CPU Usage, but it is low in ram usage because of the low resources it takes. This is one weird game o.0

Trexer
How would I find this info for my server?
doc
Trexer, are you using Cortex for your control panel?
Trexer
I do have Cortex but I do not run my servers though it.
doc
That data is on Cortex instances and is stored in a database. If you are not running them through Cortex then you won't see it.

Well Quad Cores didn't exist here at TP when this thread originally came up.

This thread is comparing the really old Xeons that had FSB's as low as 533MHz, so please no1 compare the information in this thread to modern day Single CPU Xeon based servers. Especially do not compare the results in this thread to modern day Dual CPU Xeons as most are Dual Core now aswell.

Looking at my old post in this thraed just makes me chuckle.

Quite good, thanks for asking. Things certainly have changed around here since I left with all these new competitive prices... tongue.gif

Someone should start a thread for a quad core CPU icon_razz.gif. I could add some data to it icon_biggrin.gif.

(Info for newer dual cores wouldn't hurt either icon_wink.gif )

If that's the case, then why don't YOU start it so it can be jumped off properly? You'd be able to setup the foundation of it any way you want by your creating the thread. ;-)
