Dedicated Servers/Battlefield 4

[DJShocker]

Is there anyone running Battlefield 4 on NFO dedicated servers?
If so, how many servers are you running with NO problems? how many slots? I'm considering upgrading to Dedicated cause running 1 battlefield 4 server with 42 slots, all full, causes rubberbanding with some of my players.

In my observations a battlefield server(3 and 4 have similar resource usage) will use about 60% at peak of a core on the E3-1270v3.

Here are the graphs for my 64 slot BF3 rush server:

Remember this is process usage, not overall machine usage.

If you are running Battlefield only servers, you should be able to get away with roughly 400-500 players connected. I run many different server types on my machines, so I can't give any better than an educated guess.

That helps!
Thanks!
So you think I can squeeze 2 BF4 servers on a Dedicated with no rubber banding/lag?

Any lag/rubber banding would be the result of poor programming on DICE's end. You would have more than enough power for 2 servers.

Yeah the biggest thing that irritates me is the game itself supports multithreading by default, however, the server does NOT. Strange :-\
Also, OFFICIAL servers, admins cannot ban/kick the idiots that wanna insult others for killing them or not doing what THEY believe they should be doing.

I am well aware of the shortcomings with Battlefield 4

Battlefield/Frostbite is actually pretty lightweight compared to some things, like source engine servers.

Here is a 64 slot CS:GO server running on a slightly faster CPU compared to our BF3 servers:

DJShocker, we've seen multiple customers running six 70-slot BF4 servers on their dedicated machines without seeing resource-related lag or rubber-banding. We can't guarantee that for you because performance is influenced by so many factors -- the map run, settings, 3rd party plugins, PB, and so on, but the minimum you could expect with full performance would be one top-end server per physical core (which would be four servers on an E3).
