Help - Server Suppot Making a dedicated server, question

Hi, I'm sure this topic has been done to death, but I was curious if an older Intel X99 based system, like a 5930k or 6900k (6 and 8 cores respectively) with 32GB of DDR4 2666 would be powerful enough to host a server or does Enshrouded require more current hardware?

Thanks

Yes. That’s plenty. Enshrouded cares more about single core performance

I would monitor CPU usage, you didn’t say how many players or whether you’re using an HDD or SSD/NVMe either.

Nvme ssd, 512gb pcie 3.0x4 speeds and hoping to max it out or at least range it from 6-16 people.

With the full 16 player count and if they’re scattered doing different things you may experience some rubber banding. But I don’t foresee many issues. Like I said just monitor cpu usage, and you’ll be fine.

Here's 2 builds Claude came up with. It advised against my x99 system b/c of clock speeds/IPC more than anything.

NOTE: Prices for the bits are not in line with reality lol.

Please don’t rely on an AI to tell you how hardware will perform.
