E3-1270v3 Full machine Tick rate Max server

[Moo]

I'm looking to buy 4 of these machines. I was wondering if I will be able to run (30) 128tick 10 person CSGO server on each machine without an issue. Can this be done? How many servers at 128tick 10 person be ran on a E3-1270v3?

Thanks

If all servers were to be full at once, I think you would be right at the limit. You should be able to get near that number, but the only way to say for sure would be to do it yourself.

25-30 servers should be a good estimate.

a 128 tick server could easily use a full core, so you'll definitely need to keep that in mind. However, I wouldn't expect you to see that with a 10 slot. We recommend clients keep their CPU usage below 50% to allow for spikes, but some do push it in excess of 60 and say everything's OK.

I'd also recommend you stick with Windows as CSGO performance on Linux has taken a nose dive this past year, making it near impossible to run solid 128 tick servers.

Thanks for the reply guy. Good tip on the Windows machines. I do not foresee the 10 man server being at full capacity all at once. I'm estimating more of about 10-18 servers being used at once but will vary depending on days.

I just want to make sure that even if I have 25-30 servers are full capacity for a short duration it will not have a terrible impact on game performance.

I should be able to do a little testing later on a 1270v2 machine under windows 2008R2 on a CS:GO 128 tick server to better give you an estimate of what to expect.
