32 Slot TF2 server.

Post by packz76 »

Looking to get a 32 slot server and have been pricing around various places. Basically, would a VDS single core be sufficient to run a 32 slot TF2 server? (Bandwidth, 512 FPS) without lag?

Of the servers I've looked at, TF2 seems to be the piggiest on CPU usage on a VDS, for some reason, beating out even Arma2. I think that you'd be able to run one if you choose a well-tweaked configuration, but it's something that you'll have to watch and test closely.

It depends on the speed of the processor (ghz) but you should be fine. I know they use about 1 gig a server but mine say about 600,000kb in task manager and I restart mine every couple days. So that gives you about 400,000kb of room. :D

We rarely see any server type use over 500 MB of RAM, so on that bit, you should be fine. :)

Nod, our servers are also restarted every day (by default). Many TF2 plugins have memory leaks, as does TF2 itself (at least, historically).
