My flash-1 is still pending
Anyone got a YABS to share for the 9950X VDS?
Whenever you’re bored, can you try mounting your own windows ISO + install virtio drivers?
you should cancel it, i'll grab it, i'm a lot more patient
Coupon is not working

9950X VDS yabs:
However this comes with wrong specs, what I ordered is 9950X-18GBrr - VDS
My rpi is now suffering from PTSD. Make sure it's worth the trauma in advance.
this looks like the 12GBrr one, 2 cores 12gb ram 150gb nvme
Interesting that the Turin is nearly as good as the 9950X in single-threaded performance (but has 6x more CPU cores). I marvel at how chip manufacturers continue to achieve generational leaps in CPU performance.
We no longer need desktop class cpu. All in server.
Looks rather low for 9950X, especially as it's a VDS, it should be 3000-3500 I think?
Yes and no. It might be on the low side but not unreasonably so.
Do keep in mind that the people that benefit from a VDS is people that need consistently high CPU usage that might otherwise be disallowed on a VPS. The benefit is being allowed to blast the CPU 100% 24/7 if you so desire. The downside of a VDS is that your neighbors are allowed to do the same.
Even though every core is dedicated to your system in a VDS, the overall performance on the system still drops as overall loads increases. As overall load rises, temperature does too and so the max boost clock of cores reduces.
When I first got my Linveo 9950X VPS I was getting 3300 (smack in the middle of your range) on a single core, presumably since I was put on an empty-ish node. After the node was filled, it is now at around 2600, which is not far from these VDS YABS. So yes you're right, but for a dedicated server or a fresh node.
That said, considering a VDS lets you hammer the CPU 100% all the time (i.e. have consistently noisy neighbors), that the GB6 is still achieving 2500 with the CPU under constant load is really good.
wheres the flash i need it now
This is the reason why I am starting to believe VDS has lower money to value ratio than a vps. If noisy neighbor (in terms of cpu usage) could affect your cpu performance from 3000-3500 to 2600; then alternatively vps is rather good option.
Because you are already using 75-80% only of what a single core can do. But you are paying around $8 or $9 for that.
Instead of that, go for fair share vps and throttle the cpu to 75% by yourself. In this case, your 75% performance will be guaranteed to because a good provider will throttle the noisy neighbours to 50% if they use the cpu for 100% for longer period.
This whole VDS just gives 10-15% more priviledge and frees one from throttling the cpu by themselves. But the price becomes way more than what it provides.
What vps provider allows one to abuse the cores 24x7 @ 75%?
I have tested fair share of different providers by changing cpu usage time to time. Most providers don't mind 75%.
If you cross that 75%, then their throttle comes in (It happened to me couple of times.)
But keeping the cpu to 75% throttled myself, it doesn't trigger throttle from providers I used.
Cool so if I am hearing you, some providers are cool with you hammering the alloted cores at 75% 24x7?
Really would love to know the providers. Would you mind sharing them over dm? Thnx
DM me the provider names too please
There's no particular providers. Use any and test it. At max, you'll get throttled to lower threshold for a day or two. Then change the parameters.
Sure. More like try till you're caught.
To maximize the benefit, we need to find a discounted VDS with a similar price to a VPS. However, VPS providers often offer discounts as well. How can we break this cycle and make a cost-effective decision?
I beg to differ.
Most ToS in fair share doesn't write cpu usage as concrete. There are vague terms in these contracts which many providers use it as they like by changing the interpretation.
When the ToS is vague, as a customer, I have no other way of knowing the fair share except pushing the limits. Once I know, I throttle myself under that threshold.
There is no breaking of cycle in my eyes. VDS is one product which is neither here nor there. You can't mix it up with different ranges to make up for the loss. I can't see prices going down unless there's some promotion.
It is one product where people gets mislead a lot. In my experience, it is better to buy a vps of 9950x or turin processor then blast till 60-65% than buying a vds of some weak epyc processor at a higher price. If we go out of LET (where the concept of yabs is a bit rare), people do get mislead a lot.
bought thinking it was an actual dedicated core not just a dedicated thread and no refunds for flash sales either so guess i'm stuck with this one now. regret buying the year upfront this time.
@beanman109 it was written vCore I think.
Put it up for transfer later. I may buy it if I have the cash.
'Dedicated' vCore to me still implies a virtual core, eg 1 whole core virtualized.
this is the 3rd VDS flash sale i've bought in the last month and the other 2 while advertised as 1c or 2c always had both threads per core.
transfers and refunds are not avilable for flash sales so i don't really have any other options for it
it'll idle then go in the bin and teach me a lesson to read specs better i guess
Performance is still nice, though. I hope you can find a way to utilize the resources.
