    @host_c I bought a 5 tb Dyson one.

    If required, can I increase storage size via ticket in future?

    Yap,

    Hit us with a ticket when you need moarrrrrrrr :D

    I'll be honest. The performance of the vps is amazing. Way more than I expected. Cheers to the service.

    This is a test to showcase VPS excellent computing power.

    Many LET VPS fail in this 4k video test. Here is a storage VPS that is a clear winner

    THX @dev_vps - and now everyone will stream 4K from our storage VPS, Bye-Bye idler's :D :D :D

    So, even though the GB6 score isn't higher than that of a 2.6 GHz Xeon V4, you can definitely feel the performance boost thanks to the increased bandwidth of the newer generation CPU.

    Hmmmmm, damn we need more servers......... and drives....... memory........

    We need some $$$, but where from? A promo might help... :D

    PS: Does Windows make use of AVX-512? ( I know that it does for AVX2 )

    @dev_vps , just realized this, we might introduce CPU Power billing soon :D :D :D

    Nahhhh, just messing around, still ~680 W/hour, damn that thing is hungry.....

    Fell free to continue <3

    Using VPN with iPad/iPhone is a better solution to watch 4k video

    Thank you, guys you heard the man, stream 4k from your handheld. :+1:

    Idlers welcome back. <3

    Yes, that is the case

    The VPS had kinda ok playback with 2k video test with Gold 6130, but with 6148 ... 2k playback is much better better and lot smoother even at full screen (around 50-60% cpu usage) and 4k while it plays smoothly goes into 100% cpu usage

    @host_c How long does your dyson stock last does it go faster each time? Its fun checking it then poof out of stock again.

  • dev_vpsdev_vps Member

    @host_c

    Here is more info why AX-512 helps with overall vps performance.

    In VPS environments, the CPU might be doing more than just decoding the video. AVX-512 allows for better overall CPU efficiency by speeding up background tasks like encryption/decryption, networking, and other virtualization overhead, freeing more resources for the VPS to dedicate to other active tasks.

    There’s a fixed amount available, as we can't offer unlimited—where would we store it all? :)

    When services get canceled or terminated, that stock becomes available again.

    Usually, it doesn’t stay available for long, maybe just a few minutes sometimes seconds.

    Somebody/some are definitely pushing F5 ( refresh ) all day..... :)

    Yep, we gambled on that, and while it wasn’t as obvious with the 6130 at 2.1GHz, the extra 300MHz on the 6148 definitely makes a noticeable difference.

    I will underline, to some and in some applications. :) , but yes, the whole node itself feels better.

    Time to plug in the next-one soon.

    680W/hour :'( damn......

    I tried to transcode a 7gb video ffmpeg with x265 codec with quality set at 24 (just for testing). The CPU usage shoot up and had to end the process because it made the vps a bit unstable.

    What was your config of the vps?

    I do NOT use storage vps for video transcoding. I use VDS for that use case.

    I was just checking.

    I do too but it's too much of a round trip to copy files from storage to performance vps, then transcode, then again sync back to storage. Totally wastage of bandwidth.

    I wish if there was a simpler solution.

    x265 encoding happily uses 10 or more cores, so it's definitely not suitable for low end VPS. And as others have already pointed out, not really for any shared environment where the CPU is not 100% dedicated to you (VDS).

    But, ever since I learned how GB6 is really useless for multicore server benchmarking, and even more so as the number of cores grow, actually I also have a small 3 min video fragment used specifically to benchmark VPS CPU score. :) But I only ever run it on VPS with 4 or more CPU cores, makes no sense to punish smaller brethren. :#

    Can you give me the video link and the ffmpeg profile which you use for testing?

    I want to test mine in comparision to others to see if I can go for higher with justified price (if costlier).
