[hlds_linux] Intel I5-3550 + TF2/32 Players?

2014-01-14 Thread Chris Oryschak
Does anyone run a 32 man TF2 server on the Intel I5-3550, 3.3Ghz. OS would be Ubuntu. I'm contemplating moving hosts and picking up this dedicated machine as a replacement. Just want to make sure it can handle the player count before I drop any money. Thanks, Chris

Shouldn't be a problem. I ran 2 32 man tf2 servers with a Q6700 and it didn't break a sweat. This was on windows. On Jan 14, 2014 5:12 PM, Chris Oryschak ch...@oryschak.com wrote: Does anyone run a 32 man TF2 server on the Intel I5-3550, 3.3Ghz. OS would be Ubuntu. I'm contemplating moving

I used to have Q6600 for 32 slot TF2 servers and i had to upgrade to Q9550 - 5 years ago. About after the time that goldrush update came to TF2. Now that can barely run 24 slots per instance. This was on Linux. Naturally after all the updates, cpu usage has went up. But i'd agree that i5 3550
