botscape1738 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hey OSB. Currently doing my research on starting a small farm (typical). I was curious if it's more worth my while to purchase a vps or just run the bots (4-5 at time) on personal second computer. Currently running 8gb DDR3 ram and AMD FX-4300 4core CPU with a HDD. Nothing fancy but I would assume it's fulling capable of running 5 bots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folks Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I run 1 bot per gig of ram on a vps with a shitty CPU, just use lowcpu and lowresouce or nointerface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectPact Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Could make your own little rig up super cheap, that's what I did. That way no one can steal any of your information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like I'll use my own comp then! I appreciate the response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimitedTime66 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Dedi's should be used for large farms but since you only intend to run 5, your PC should handle it. If you want to test it if your PC truly can, open up task manager and see how much CPU 1 client uses, while the script is running, and multiply by 5. I tend to stay below 80% usage because things get wonky. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least $50, provided you find a good deal. Expect 70ish to be the norm for something with that much power. My only concern with servers from online dealers is that, more than often, they use shitty GPUs that can cause constant client crashes when the CPU hasn't even hit it's potential. They provide CPU power but these servers aren't made to handle osrs clients, even though yes the graphics are shit, by the boat load so don't expect to be able to run expensive servers to their full potential unless you build one yourself with the necessary components.

That's good (really bad) to hear. I was looking at getting myself a dedi at about ~$50 USD to run about 20 odd clients, but if the lack of GPU bottlenecks it, fuck. Cheers for the insight, will have to look again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize osrs does not use the GPU. Only RAM and CPU matters when botting osrs. Edited October 3, 2017 by Antonio Kala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't. All I know is what my friends who have been formally educated in this area have advised me. There's a reason why when you can rent an Xeon E5 which has the power to run 50+ clients but crashes when you start to get it over 20 clients.

Juggles Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'd say $1.5-2/client is a good server. Mine is about $1.25/client but i found a really good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
