I'm running three 33x linux servers on a q6600 with low var and solid 66 update rate except in the highest action.
You can connect to tf1.game.doublezen.net and check it out for yourself. Make sure you set your rate to 60000 or a similar uncapped value before you judge the performance of a 32x, the default rates, even 30,000, are too low for 32+ TF2 pingboost does nothing for OB games tickrate cannot be changed on OB games (its *always* 66) fork does nothing for OB games - Neph On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 4:41 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > I see the CPU max 99-100% when the problems occur.
