SNK 1 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) I am getting ready to put together a dedicated server with the following hardware: Processor: 8x Intel Xeon E5-2670 V2 2.5GHz 10 Core 25MB Cache Processors Memory: 384GB DDR3 ECC Registered Memory (6 x 16GB) Hard Drives: 8x 300GB 10K SAS 2.5 Hard Drives What type of grid size do you think I can manage with this? Looking to get 25-50 players per grid. Edited January 20, 2019 by SNK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kero 9 Posted January 20, 2019 Well, i'm not a pro but i can tell you the core speed will limit you the player count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These chips can turbo to 3.30 GHz, have 10 cores and 20 threads each....there's 8 of them in this box. Edited January 20, 2019 by SNK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobs 2 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) My thoughts, I would do a 8x8 or 7x7 on that server setup, and if Ram usage is to high maybe go 6x6. 8 servers x 8 servers = 64 total servers 64 servers at 6gb (about 4gb to run each server plus 2gb for max players and extra islands per server) 64 servers x 6gb = 384gb ram usage. 80cores will be plenty for 64 servers. Will you do a raid10 setup with the HDDs? Will you use multiple VM's on ESXi setup? Edited January 21, 2019 by Bobs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
