-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] 1000fps is pointless in SRCDS, and probably not physically possible currently if actually had enough players that required that much I/O per second.
Your main limiting factor is always going to be the tickrate. Since nobody is going to be running a tickrate higher than 100, you only need enough fps to ensure timely processing of players incoming and outgoing packets. 512 fps produces plenty of I/O opportunities for a war server to always ensure players receive the most up to date picture of what is going on. 512fps is also typically going to be plenty for most player numbers, unless of course you manage to somehow get a computer that can run a 64 player server at 100 tick and have every player on the server trying to send and receive 100 updates a second. Good luck trying to sustain even 512fps in that scenario with current cpu power!
