AMD Epyc doesn't offer very high clockspeeds. I strongly agree that PCIe lanes are extremely important for PCIe SSDs and SAS storage.

it also depends on how well threaded the game is too. But that 8 ram channels is something intel doesnt offer.

I haven't seen any AMD Epyc motherboards with SAS ports.

it doesnt need to come with SAS ports, some come with m.2 but more importantly, it has many PCIe lanes for SAS cards.

Do you even need 10'000$ server to have game server running on it for 200 players?

I think you can get server for that, under 2500$ without any problems.

doesn't seem like this post is legit anyways, zero response from OP to anyone i highly doubt there are 10k available to begin with.

If there are really around 150-200 players investing in one server ... 10k is not a problem.

But why spend so much if you can get great game server for much less.

 

I also don't understand why would they want to have server where only 150 players are playing all the time ... same 150 players over and over again?

 

And about high clock speed for game server ... game developers are usually hosting those servers on Xeon chips that have a lot of cores and not that high clock speed. Yet it works just fine. You are not playing on that server ... only sending data to the server and then server is sharing that data with other players, so they can see what you are doing in game. Raw CPU power is what comes in handy here if you ask me.

the issue in their case (if its even real) is that they play Arma which is a piece of shit game in terms of optimization both for the server and for the game itself.

 

I used to play Arma for a while and we had a server for hosting self made maps, 30-40 people on an back then relatively new I5 and the server was at its limit.

Its very very badly optimized.

Didn't know that game could be also badly optimised for server side lol

But you should try play some MMORPG with 40 players around you ... even worse optimisation if you ask me.
