Hello, Im currently running a VPS with a 6700k CPU we are running CS:GO servers on it and we are experiencing high var issues. Not sure what to do to fix the issue. Looking to get similar results as ESEA or FACEIT will make any hardware changes needed to do so. heres what the var currently looks like while in a game with 10 players. https://gyazo.com/f746a607b9137158017c93684e70aef1

There's your issue. Don't use VPS with shared resources(CPU in this case)

We are currently using my friends hosting company and there is no one sharing the resources we currently are using 100% of it. We also are using about 10-15% usage per server.

Some more information is needed here! Which OS? What are your other specs? What do you mean by "terrible var" (how much)? Have you disabled all power saving settings in your BIOS and OS?

I'm having the exact same issue and most of the time sv and var are constantly red host says the CPU is locked at the highest frequency and I have a dedicated server and stuff but idk I've had this issue since we started the server

What virtualization do you use ?
I would recommend LXC or KVM but KVM uses more resources.
If you have KVM try to tweak your kernel. You will find here tweaks for your kernel.
Personaly, I'm using KVM with my own tweaks to kernel and var is about 0.001-0.010 with 24/24 slots on 64tickrate.

What do u mean "tweak kernel", how and what exactly should we change.

[Zuby24]

A short list to do.
Set sv_occlude_players to "0".
Second use a tuned. -> https://www.linuxsecrets.com/2892-tu...ux-performance
Enable turbo for you processor. -> https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpo...5&postcount=15

Also check your Mhz cores. cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep "MHz" and see if it is set on higher freq

you can see the var in that Gyazo gif. We are running Ubuntu 16. We are running 32gb DDR4 paired with a 6700k @ 4.0 GHz. We have not tried every power saving mode.
