    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

    And there's me just using my storage VPS for borg backups pushed via ssh. Mind blown :neutral:

    I use Windows RDP since I find it easy to manage data that way. But I limit my RDP session to keep the usage under the radar.

    @host_c could you modify your geofeed from .txt to .csv? doesn't seem like any geoip provider is really grabbing it.

    I'm on the subnet that's Romania in Maxmind, but every other of your subnets are not in RO.
    Just saying cause I looked it yesterday for pure curiosity :)
    I don't want Maxmind to update it to whatever other country it decides in the future, they're quite dumb in that regard.

    Does Windows make use of AVX-512?

    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

    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?

    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).

    #!/bin/bash

# Define input and output file variables
INPUT_FILE="$1"
OUTPUT_FILE="$2"

# Check if input and output files are provided
if [ -z "$INPUT_FILE" ] || [ -z "$OUTPUT_FILE" ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <input_file> <output_file>"
    exit 1
fi

# ffmpeg command with x265 encoding and limited CPU usage
ffmpeg -i "$INPUT_FILE" \
    -c:v libx265 \               # Use the x265 codec for encoding the video
    -crf 28 \                    # Set Constant Rate Factor (CRF), which adjusts quality (lower is better, default is 28 for x265)
    -preset slow \               # Use 'slow' preset for better compression efficiency
    -c:a aac \                   # Use AAC codec for audio encoding
    -b:a 128k \                  # Set audio bitrate to 128k
    -threads 1 \                 # Limit encoding to a single thread
    "$OUTPUT_FILE" &             # Run the encoding process in the background

# Get the Process ID (PID) of the background ffmpeg process
FFMPEG_PID=$!

# Limit CPU usage to 20% of a single thread using cpulimit
cpulimit -p $FFMPEG_PID -l 20   # Restrict the CPU usage of the ffmpeg process to 20%

# Wait for the ffmpeg process to complete
wait $FFMPEG_PID

    Running on 4GB VPS with 6x vCPU Ryzen
    Using about 50% of overall cpu power

    frame= 3409 fps=103 q=34.1 
size=    4864kB time=00:01:53.77 bitrate= 350.2kbits/s 
speed=3.45x

    average cpu utilization around 50-55%
    2 hour video will be encoded in 35-40 minutes

    @dev_vps

    Let’s assume you have 2vCore Ryzen 9 7950x, would that be something that could do some realtime transcoding in a decent amount of time compared to Xeon Gold you have now ?

    Gb6 score says yes, but I am interested more in real life use case scenarios.

    Also, anyone having an input on the subject please step In.

    If I may answer.

    I have a 14700K.

    Doing traditional x264 OBS with the worst source (display capture), giving OBS 3 cores at 2560x1440 60 fps at fast preset is barely enough to get a flawless experience.

    x264 is dog shit though and I imagine HEVC or x265 would be more ideal.

    This is an all core work load...

    4 P cores pegged(barely above source FPS which is 23.96)

    so it is not going to work with real time transcoding to x-265

    Let’s assume you have 2vCore Ryzen 9 7950x, would that be something that could do some realtime transcoding in a decent amount of time compared to Xeon Gold you have now ?

    Gb6 score says yes, but I am interested more in real life use case scenarios.

    Also, anyone having an input on the subject please step In.

    I bought bero host 9950x 2 core just to check. There's some improvement in x265 transcoding. For the same file, I used 6 core in my cloudcone vps (have to check the processor) and it took around 1 hour 15 minutes (approx) while bero host server took around 55 minutes.

    Don't know about benchmarking. I just use same file across different servers to check which one does quickly in the same profile.
