How many players can 250mbps handle? - ColonelBurton - 19.07.2014

Along with 32 GB Ram, i am working on some project but need to be sure before ordering.

Depending on your Script Race/Dm.., but actually this may run about +200 players.

Is that the port speed? You should be fine running any amount of players with that. Even 100 Mbps is fine for SA-MP.

But look for a server with a Gigabit port (1 Gbps). They are offered by so many companies nowadays.

Also, 32GB RAM?

A 4GB RAM is enough to handle all of your server requirements (gameserver, website, teamspeak .etc)

> 250mbps
> 32 GB Ram

~3000-4000 players. maybe more
you need a good CPU

Keep going until stuff slows down, CPU and HDD I/O are a bigger worry at this point.

If youre planning to sell gameservers you should really get some more experience first.

This will be your limiting factor here.

On my server each player uses like maximum of ~29kb/s of the server's upload speed.

so 29KB/s * 1000 players = 29000KB/s = 28MB/s = 224Mbp/s of upload speed.

try playing around on your script while pressing F5 and u can watch the usage, then u will be able to calculate it for other players, it's not EXACT but close enough.

1gbps is for HIGH playerbase, if for example each player is at 100KB/s that will be 97Megabytes -> 776Mbp/s.

100kb/s is no usual, not all players have more than 1mb of upload speed.

the bandwidth is all about your scripts anyway.
