Koriel Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Just wanted to share my server hardware with ya'll.. I like to tinker with new toys, a few months ago I ordered a Larkbox thru Indigogo.. https://www.chuwi.com/product/items/Chuwi-LarkBox.html https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/chuwi-larkbox-world-s-smallest-4k-mini-pc/x/8008842#/ As you can see it's quite small.. I've got it hanging from it's USB-C type charger and it's connected to my router thru a USB 3.) to UTP connector. I control it over RDP. I never really expected it, but it seems to run the DCS server just fine. Starting the server takes a while, but when it's up it just runs and runs. In Hardware Monitor I've never seen it pull over 7 watts.. ;-) I guess it will draw a bit more for cooling and such, but sofar.. impressed Edited October 8, 2020 by Koriel Noticed the link doesn't work anymore, so added another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSIAD_RIP Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I have an old Intel NUC with Celeron N3050 (dual-core) that is probably 1/2 the performance or worse than your new Mini Server. I will not even try to test it. lol... Let us know if you are getting less stutter or better framerates running it at home. Thanks and Good luck.

Fri13 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Seems that the ED efforts were paid fully by making a standalone DCS server, comparing that one would need to run a full dedicated 3D rendering capable PC for a server. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

I'm running a heavily edited TTI mission, so far only with up to 4 clients, but it seems to be holding up. /edit. Last night I hosted for about 8 ppl without any complaints.. seems like it works just fine Edited October 7, 2020 by Koriel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
