-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] You haven't stated what the FSB or anything else about it is other than the processor.
In the same token, you are effortlessly trying to condemn your processor when it isnt literally hard wired to the internet.... there are many things in between your clients and the cpu. Start figuring out why its riding high instead of trying to figure out why you get skippy at 80% load. The 'skippy' feeling at 80% would be EXPECTED, not troubleshot!!!!!! Something else is bottlenecking you, and it sounds like you arent setting up the ping booster correctly. Turn off the ping booster, open Windows Media Player on the desktop and see where your fps goes. If it goes up, you need to look at what is going on in the background on this machine. If it goes down, you DEFINITELY have something major going wrong. Maybe you have a bad piece of hardware somewhere, it's a matter of diagnosing whats going on where. If you are running at 100 tick rate, start by lowering it and see if it eases the cpu load. But personally, I think your cpu is already underpowered to run a 24 man server. --Ozz -------------- Original message -------------- > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > I'm just using Task Manager and it's showing actual CPU usage, not average. > I watch the Task Manager and the server's console FPS very carefully when > the server is full.
