Hello guys,

I have a problem maybe you can help me with answers.

I have an csgo server hosted on a VPS, my problem is the server var oscillate between 0.400 - 1.000

VPS info:

Intel Xeon L5640 (2.26 GHz) CPU 10 CPU Core
RAM memory 20Gb DDR3 x4 RDIMM Dual Ranked Registered ECC
Disk Space 30 GB SAS (10K)
Operating System Ubuntu-14.04 64bit

My csgo server is working on 64 ticks with 30 players.

What could I set up to have a constant low var ?

Thank you!

Server variance is cpu related.

Every second the cpu is required to process 64 frames.

If the cpu is unable to complete processing the required frames in one second you get var spikes in yellow/red which results in var related lag.

Generally if your cpu is maxing out your options are:

1. Reduce tickrate to 64 if running 128 tick
2. Reduce slot counts
3. Get a better cpu

You could also try editing performance related cvars...

Thank you for replay Neuro Toxin, I tried with performance.cfg by CoderX same result

1. My server already works on 64 ticks.
2. My server slots is 30
3. This processor is not enough: Intel Xeon L5640 (2.26 GHz) CPU 10 CPU Core ?

srcds is 32bit program, so it use one CPU core.
Are you sure your server run full power and not in power safe mode ?

And how can i check this in linux Ubuntu ?

Thank you!

Tbh.

Your CPU is 6 years old and is end of life. While it was a great CPU, it's time has come.

Your choices:

1. Reduce slot count until the CPU core no longer maxes out when the server is full.
2. Move to another box with a newer / higher clockspeed CPU.

Thank you for your answers guys, I solved the problem by buying a new dedicated.

For newbie users type in console and check cpu frequency

cat /proc/cpuinfo

nice find. (I'm Windows user tough)

I find a whole page about those.
