Server CPU charge

Recommended Posts

Should ArmA 2 Dedicated server really be running at 60 to 70% CPU?

Seems a tad too high for my liking

Anyone know what causes this?

On An AMD 3800+ for example you will see 100% cpu usage whereas on a 5000 series Quad Core Xeon you will see an average of 25-30%.

60%-70% usage indicates that the server cpu you are using is sufficient but not leaving much overhead. ArmA/ArmA2 is very cpu intensive for the server since it calculates AI.

Its running on an intel Xeon 3065 2.33Ghz with 4gb ram.

some missions vary between 20 and 50%.

The Evo mission is 55% to 70%

Yes that sounds about right for a 3000 series. The 5000 series would serve you better if that were in your budget.

The more heavily scripted missions i.e. Evolution and Domination the more CPU usage you will see on the server's cpu's. If you try a PVP you will see a significant reduction in cpu load.
