UltimateBawb 1 Posted July 7, 2014 I'm considering building a dedicated server computer with a spare FX9590 (spare me the tirade, I know), how well could this processor with a decent amount of memory run an Arma 3 server? Will it take advantage of all 8 cores? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gudsawn 93 Posted July 7, 2014 The -enableHT parameter was implemented in the last stable branch which apparently took advantage of hyper-threading for servers/clients. However, I'm not sure if this has made a huge difference for us. It's a well-known fact that Arma (both server and clients) makes very little usage of all your processor's power. So, short answer - not no, it won't take advantage of all 8 cores (unless you plan on running multiple Arma servers side-by-side). Also, with this server you're planning to build, where will it be hosted? If you're hosting the box at home, I'd say there's very little point in making a server and you're better off sticking with hosting from your current computer. Without a dedicated line from a data centre (e.g. 100Mbit up/down), you'll find yourself getting desync/lag with anything more than 10 players (and that's if your home internet is very good). If you're planning to send the computer off to a data centre to be hosted there, ignore this paragraph ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, interesting. In my experience we always get desync/low frames after around 10 players (if hosted locally). I have a 70/20 connection. What are everyone's frames like? Are you talking AIvsPlayers or just PvP? Edited July 7, 2014 by Goodson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we had good frames and a good connection, i did it with an Arma II server aswell, to run DayZ, worked just fine :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasono 0 Posted July 8, 2014 The AI sync is what takes up a lot of the bandwidth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
