Dedicated Server and Intel Xeon compatibility

[3rd Wing - Raiden]

Hi everyone,

 

I am wondering if you guys have tried DCS Dedicated (no render) with Xeon CPU.

What is your feedback on this kind of setup?

 

Cheers,

hey Raiden. I believe a Xeon cpu will work just fine. I actually ran a few missions using a Xeon E3-1270v2 a little while ago and worked without any issues. Believe you just need to make sure you have some type of sound driver installed (not 100% sure). Have to admit with the new dedicated server its not using up many resources. CPU and mem usage remains kind of low. But I would still have at least 16GB ram along with an SSD.

Thanks ElementLT,

 

I do not worry about CPU perfs as dedicated server use very little CPU time. I do worry about the lack of SSE4 instruction set on Xeon CPUs.

 

I do not know the impact of this on DCS.

 

But I am glad to know that with enought RAM and a good SSD, DCS Dedicated is running well.

 

Thanks mate,

I have it running on a Dell workstation with a e5 running ~3.2 GHz iirc, it's fine

works great with Xeon

Thanks everyone, I have finally tested a setup with a Xeon CPU and it works very well.

 

I am using a Xeon E5-1630v3@3,7 Ghz, 4 DCS dedicated instances, 25 vPilots, 10% CPU consumption, everything is running smoothly.

How much ram do you have?

64Gb
