Performance Question

Post by jared2014 »

Im thinking of ordering a VPS with 2 Core Processor and 3GB RAM could it run 3 gmod servers with 24 slots each?

P.S. I did a bit of math and came up that i need 3.5GB RAM if all servers are full is this right?

This is going to heavily depend on how the servers are configured. If you plan on running stock servers I'd expect it to work just fine, but if they will be modded I'd expect 1-2 servers only. Generally one if you follow our advice of keeping CPU usage below 50% to prevent performance dips.

How much RAM does each connect player use just by being connected to the server?

I don't know off the top of my head but in general it's rare servers to use more than 1GB. I'd say average is 700-1000MB.

In our assortment of GMOD servers(for reference: http://www.gametracker.com/search/garry ... ry=gflclan ) our populated servers use between 500-700MB of ram each. 3GB for 3 servers is possible, but I would want 4GB to have enough for windows and some disk cache.

The 95 slot server in my sig can use up to 2GB ram on its own, but that is due to poorly coded lua addons(which can be in any server).
