Request 16 Thread server (Crystal)

[Jev]

So I've recently build a PC up and here's the results. (AMD Ryzen 7 2700x 8 Core 16 Threads @ Base speeds)
Client running at a stable 600+ FPS
Cycle delay never reaching above 50

Has anyone ran more then 16 threads on the server itself ?

Your client is over the cycle delay numbers so can't see what those are, but if you're on a server on your own the primary cycle should be 16, and all others should be 0.

Threads are simply splitting up monster processing, so after about 4 threads it gets kind of pointless to waste more.

I noticed with just a quadcore cpu with 4 threads that it was going red (above 200) but since changing cpus the issue is no longer there with 16 enabled. Is it the thread increase or the core count ?

This is interesting to see. For new server owners, is there a recommended computer build and/or internet service provider to run a server through?

I've gone from this;

CPU Name AMD A8-6500 APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics
Threading 1 CPU - 4 Core - 4 Threads
Frequency 3892.11 MHz (39 * 99.8 MHz) - Uncore: 1596.8 MHz
Multiplier Current: 39
Memory (RAM)
Total Size 10240 MB
Type Dual Channel (128 bit) DDR3-SDRAM


To this ;

CPU Name AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor
Number of cores 8
Number of threads 16
Core Speed 3700.0 MHz (4.5 Boost)
Memory (RAM) Corsair Vengeance
Total Size 16000 MB
Type Dual Channel DDR4

With this change I've noticed that allocating 16 threads with the new pc build that the cycle delay remains under 50 at all times.

If you don't mind me asking. How much did this build cost you?

Clock speed is important, the server runs on a constant loop as quickly as it can. So the aim is to complete that loop of code as quickly as possible.

Threads just split the loops up so it can do multiple at once, but since crystal only threads mob and not players they become pointless after a few.

Cores and threads are related in that every core has 2 threads. Cores themselves don't make a difference.
