Normal with TF2. FPS jumps around and players won't notice as long as you have
a high enough max.

My windows TF2 box runs around 510~490 FPS, with drops down lower sometimes.

Does anybody know about what type of hardware it'd actually take to run a
24 person TF2 and a 12 person TF2, with 5 sourcetv slots (including
constant 2 recording slots), and to run hlstatsx:ce for the 24 person TF2

I've noticed the same thing. My server fps only stays at reasonable levels if
the CPU is near zero utilization. It seems like even if the CPU utilization
goes up a few percent the server fps will drop drastically and each time it
drops it seems to cut in half. Like from 64 to 32 to 16 to 8 The

Does anybody know if these problems occur for the old engine, like with
CS:S (non-beta)? I'm also thinking if this is an issue with the
TF2/orangebox engine, the new CS:S will probably be affected in the same
way.

With HLXCE it wouldn't be a very good idea to host the mysql remotely.
Although you can host a mysql on the server with the daemon and then
have a remote web server if you'd like.

That's the problem though... We can have a freshly formatted machine,
install practically any OS to it... nothing else but the OS and the srcds
stuff... and load up 24 slots, fill them, and that fps does drop below 66
at times; with no addons, plugins, stats, or anything else going on.
What hardware are you running?

That's your problem right there, there's too much scheduler latency with a
VPS. You need to be running a dedicated.

Yeah, we went with this host on VDS expecting to be able to run one 24

Ah, yeah, I think there was a few settings I had to do to ensure it would
work smoothly - something like enabling lazy writes, along those lines. Also
the tf2 server and mysql server, while not in the same datacenter, are
essentially sitting on the same pipe - which might make it less of a bother
Yes; SourceTV is a requirement for us. But upon disabling it, I don't see
much, if any, difference.
We will play with the threads and cvars and reply back.
