I'm looking to buy a new dedi, and i found this dedi.
i7-920 Quad-Core
24 GB DDR3 RAM
2 x 750 GB SATA 3 Gb/s HDD
1 GBit OnBoard
100mbit connection
Unlimited traffic
Could someone tell me how many 32 slot servers can this setup hold?
That's hard to tell. The limiting factor here is how resource heavy the gamemode you're going to run is - CPU will be the limiting factor.
I'd cap that at two servers. 32 players in garrys mod usually means a lot of cpu cycles, unless it's just RP.
Roughly a maximum of 220 players on the box on total - assuming gamemodes are light. Such as TTT.
Roughly a minimum of 160 players on the box total - with more resource intensive gamemodes. Such as RP.
How many players you can fit into a single gameserver without that individual gameserver crashing, will highly depend on that gamemode's coding, since the server can easily handle it.
Assuming you'll be running on Linux.
However, I highly recommend you [B]DO NOT[/B] get a whole box for Garrys Mod servers - it is best to spread your servers across different box's, preferably with the use of VPS' - reason being DoS/DDoS makes it easier to target all of your servers with just a single attack, whilst having them seperated requires the attack to have several destinations.
I can run 64 players on Deathrun on one core. I have 8 cores, so I can run roughly 320 players. But in reality this is less, ofcourse. I have about the same corespeed.
Okay thanks for the answer.
