GiantUnicorn Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hello, I was thinking of hosting an additional DayZ Epoch server (with Panthera) and I have a system standing around. My question is if it would be powerful enough to host a epoch server 50+ slots System specs AMD Opteron 8 Cores, 8x 2.3 GHz 16GB DDR3 RAM 1x 120GB SSD 550 r/w 1x 1TB SATA 100Mbit inet connection.

0 Revoplay Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 How high is the upload from the Connection, and i see a problem with the Processor. Arma will only use one Core with 2,3 GHZ. From 0 -15 Players all will work fine, but with more you must try it if it runs good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with 8 Cores the CPU is way to slow. You need atleast 3,0Ghz on each core to get smooth gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 FieldySnutz Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I run mine with Core i5-3570K, 8GB ram, 50/50mbit fiber internet. I run an Overwatch server and Epoch. All runs smooth as butter. Even when I'm on the same machine playing on the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mysticviperx Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Arma only uses 2 cores, one for the server one for the ai (if you got them), then the os will need a core or two and your MySQL, Apache, Misc will need some room. 8 cores are fine, but doesnt help with Arma. Everyone here is correct that 2.3 GHZ is slow for a Arma 50+ slot server, but just because you have 50 slots does not mean the will be filled. I suggest go for it, host it and see what happens. If you go with stock epoch then you should be generally fine and their will be some FPS drop, but it will be playable. You have more than enough RAM, that SSD is awesome, and your sig and post suggest you already have a working server. Use this server as a test bed, mirror your setting with the other one and when updates come test them out on the secondary server. You will have a production server, and a test server and less down time for your users, win win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 mysticviperx Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 My dev server is running Intel® Xeon® E3-1230v3, Quad-Core 16 GB DDR3-RAM 2x 2,000 GB SATA II HDD Windows 2008 R2 That I7 Xeon is nice, curious, do you rent or own your hardware? I'm running custom hardware with a 6 core AMD Opteron @ 3.1ghz and 32gb of RAM. Currently I have 7 OS's installed running 5 Minecraft servers, 5 TS3 servers, 6 web servers, 1 TF2 server, once 4 DayZ servers, but now 1 heavily modded Epoch server. And the only problem I currently have is my two 2tb 7200rpm HDDs in RAID1 isn't enough IOPS for it all. But, I own all my hardware and the hosting fees are keeping me from affording a SSD right now. And DayZ runs like a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
