    @doghouch uhhh idk why then

    There's few providers I trust to run a tight ship that allow me to run game servers in a VPS... Mike/ExtraVM is on the short list. Not sure how he keeps the performance up and abusers out at such a low price point, but somehow he does it. Highly recommended!

    Ordered a Ryzen 2gb package. Excited to try it out and test the Ryzen/Hivelocity waters! Keep up the great work, Mike!

    Thanks :dizzy:

    MikeA are you cool with my taking a 70% coupon and cancelling after 1 month, or maybe giving me a 2GB 1 day mini-plan for $1? I'm interested in testing this cpu on a production task that I normally run on a dedi. The task is 100% cpu for 30-60 minutes and I'd want to run it a few times with reasonable rest periods between. My real app generates 1 of these tasks daily and I usually batch them til the end of the month, then run a script on the dedi that spends about 8 hours processing them on 4 cores.

    I'm not in the market for another VPS right now (that's what the dedi is for) so this request isn't for a try-before-buy. It's just data collection for possible future reference.

    Well, the 70% promo was made for the purpose of people just wanting to try it out, but I rather not give a plan for $1 because I'm already low on space and IPs. Since you said you're running it on a dedi anyway I don't really see the point. You can get the 1GB plan and I'll allocate an extra core for you to test I guess,

  • williewillie Member

    If you're ok with me using the 70% promo as a 1 month tryout then I might do that, thanks! The usual hope for such a promo is that the person will keep using the VM, but in my case I'm more likely to stay with the dedi after the 1 month expires. I don't need ipv4 at all; v6-only is fine.

    Thirded ;). The absolute most responsive (disk, cpu, network) VPS that I've ever had was an ExtraVM NVMe black friday plan from a few years back. Eventually cancelled because idle, but held onto it for much too long because of the smile it brought.

  • GaleejGaleej Member

    Fourthed. Amazing performance... though the latency is high I would still prefer to use it.

    I can't do v6 only, it just won't work with some not working internal IPv4. Maybe it's the OS I tried, maybe it's KVM, I didn't try for long since I don't plan to ever do anything without IPv4. If you get a 1GB plan to test PM me and I'll add the extra CPU.

    Thanks, might take you up on that, want to finish up a few other things first, which will also give other new users time to finish benchmarking.

    Any chance you might offer big cheap HDD add-on storage?

    Oh well, thanks ;). Meanwhile, ordered 2GB 70offdal, worked after I got my cc# right.

    Received email with login details, immediately tried to ssh in, connection failed. Figured I maybe needed to connect from management console, tried to log into that with username/password that were provided in the email. That failed saying password was wrong.

    Tried to ssh in again and this time it worked: I guess VPS was still being installed or booting when the email went out. You might want to add a sentence to the email saying it might take a few minutes to spin up. Not sure what to do about management console.

    Pretty good! More tests soon.

    Realized after I ordered that I used the one-time 70% off coupon instead of the recurring one. Ohh well, ordered a second VM with the right coupon. Consider it a tip in appreciation for the stellar service :)

  • williewillie Member

    ffmpeg build time 3m16s on two threads. This compares with slightly under 3 minutes on my 4 core dedi :O. This is great.

    I noticed a few missing packages in the debian 10 install. Is it a standard template? Netstat command was missing so I had to install it. Had to install a few other things before I could build ffmpeg too, but I don't remember if those were there by default in earlier debian.

    Well, if you want it credited open a ticket or PM.

    Right. It's a basic Debian 10 install, nothing more.

    Unlikely, I'd have to ship my own hardware to Europe, and it isn't worth it.

    Very nice offer! If anyone wants to try out a much slower Zen CPU, you can get hourly EPYC 7401P at Scaleway.com. That's the older generation Epyc but it will let you test things. But the 3900X is something else again. I'm looking forward to these becoming more widespread. MikeA what motherboard are you using if you don't mind my asking?

    I use ASRockRack X470 for all of my Ryzen stuff right now.

    Graphics
    Controller - ASPEED AST2500
    VRAM - DDR4 256MB

    Interesting work around

  • williewillie Member

    OK, this does one of my conversion tasks (mentioned above) in about 21 minutes cpu (19 minutes realtime because there is a little bit of parallelism) or does two of them in about 41 minutes cpu, 22 minutes realtime on both threads/cores. That is compared to about 35 cpu minutes each on an i5-3570K dedi. i7-3770 and E3-1230v3 are a little faster but not that much.

    Conclusion: this cpu is a beast. Even the 8 core 65 watt version probably competes with the dual E5-2670's that are sometimes in demand around here, while using a fraction of the electric power. I hope it can replace the 4 core i5/i7 as the typical low end dedi pretty soon.

    I imagine the cpu share of this offer will decrease as the node fills up, but even still it probably has the highest cpu to ram ratio of any cheap vps.

    MikeA, any chance of supplemental storage availability (SSD ok), or higher traffic limits within HiVelocity in case someone else is offering a storage plan there? This thing's cpu combined with a good storage offer would be about the best low end VPS setup in north america.

    Highest scoring cpu at cpubenchmark.com, 32000 passmark score. For comparison the 9900k has a 20k score.

    Excellent deal!

    The 9900k is an 8 core (I think) and the 3900X is a 12 core, so single core speed is in the same ballpark between them.

    cybertech said: @willie what OS is this on?

    Cybertech: Debian 10. Re vps of the year: yeah if you are a typical LET idler with an occasional ffmpeg to do, it is great. I did an opus to aac audio transcode at about 80x, vs about 60x on the i7-3770k and maybe 12x on my laptop. I'm having fun with it but I have to remind myself to not get too carried away. And I hope MikeA implements some kind of throttling to keep the 24/7 compute hogs away. It is really great though to be able to run flat out for an hour or two now and then.

    My i5 kimsufi (about $17/month) is still faster overall (due to having 4 cores instead of 2), is a dedi, and has 2TB of disk. My favorite general purpose vps is still my 1GB BuyVM slice which is much slower and cpu-contended than this vps, but it has a 500gb storage slab attached. The main shortcoming of this vps is lack of storage (30GB with the 2gb version and half that with the 1gb). Maybe MikeA can offer some kind of expansion though.

    FWIW I was also very impressed with the Vultr high frequency instance that I used for a few days earlier this week, but I didn't take down any measurements. At $6/m for 1gb and 1 core it is more expensive than this though.

    Eventually I'd like to consolidate everything to a US dedi or colo but I'm not ready to do that yet.
