-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] 512fps is fine for SRCDS because you only have to have enough I/O to support the tickrate for the amount of players you have. (Does that make sense?)
For HLDS FPS = I/O = Tickrate so the higher the better to reduce calculation latency, which is unavoidable in SRCDS.
