I agree as well, I just assumed my dated server could no longer handle anything above 20 players.

With windows on the same setup I got var on the same value as the linux does, and the sv value was red its freezing to the death.

Windows use 30% on the process srcds_run but still lag as hell. Ok the result here is that the machine is not possible to use all the capacity of the cpu is like a wall have been created. Well we going forward, so now we going for the #2 server setup. So then we look at the results. With linux the var value was about 0.8 – 2.8 and the tickrate was unstable and going between orange and red. That wasn’t playable. With windows the var value was almost the same as the linux do. So that was not possible to play. And was the problem with the cpu this time, the process use 135 % cpu on process but the system is like sleeping. And the different here was that cpu was 45% on cpu usage on windows betw een the newer E5-2620v2 setup so it goes a little bit harder. Then we move on to the server 3 setup. I was quite surprised when I comes to the hasswell setup, because as soon as I join the server with 4 – 8 bots and the var value was about 0.8 and the ticrate was 128 the whole time. Then I believe that that may also be able to handle 32 players. So I decide to bring on 32 players on my server with linux and windows setup. And whola the process goes like a sunny day!
