DDoS protection and 10 Gbps unmetered included." url: "https://powerdedi.com/solutions/game-servers" last_updated: "2026-10-15" publisher: "PowerDedi (https://powerdedi.com)" --- # Dedicated game servers that hold their tick rate. Minecraft, Rust, FiveM and ARK are limited by single-thread speed. Ryzen 9000 CPUs up to 5.7 GHz, 3D V-Cache on the 9950X3D and always-on DDoS protection keep servers smooth when they fill up. Recommended for heavy game servers AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D - 16 cores / 32 threads · 4.3 / 5.7 GHz - 192 GB DDR5 - 2 × 3.84 TB NVMe - 10 Gbps unmetered 128 MB of L3 cache and 5.7 GHz boost: the fastest CPU we offer for simulation-heavy, modded servers. ~~$365~~ −40% $219/mo In stock · ~15 min [Deploy this server](https://powerdedi.com/order?plan=r9-9950x3d) - 10 Gbps unmetered port - Always-on DDoS protection - IPMI / KVM access - IPv4 + routed /64 IPv6 - $0 setup, cancel anytime ## Built for smooth ticks and low latency. - **Clock speed first** Most game servers run their world on one main thread. Boost clocks of 5.1 to 5.7 GHz keep ticks on time. - **3D V-Cache** The 9950X3D stacks 64 MB of extra L3 cache, which helps large worlds and heavy mods stay responsive. - **DDoS protection included** Volumetric attacks are filtered at our edge before they reach your port, on every server, at no extra cost. - **Near your players** Four European cities, three in the US, plus Singapore and Tokyo. ## Sizing by game. Typical requirements for one server instance. Mods, plugins, map size and player count move these numbers a lot. *Sizing by game* | Game | CPU profile | Memory per instance | Our pick | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Minecraft Java** (Paper, 50–100 players) | One busy main thread | 6–10 GB | Ryzen 5 7600 · 2–3 servers | | **Modded Minecraft** (large packs) | High clock, 4–6 cores | 10–16 GB | Ryzen 9 9950X3D | | **Rust** (100–200 players) | High clock, 4+ cores | 10–16 GB | Ryzen 9 9950X3D | | **Counter-Strike 2** | 1–2 cores per server | 2–4 GB | Ryzen 7 7700 · many servers | | **FiveM** (GTA V roleplay) | High clock | 4–8 GB plus database | Ryzen 9 9950X | | **ARK: Survival Ascended** | 4–6 cores | 12–16 GB | Ryzen 9 9950X | | **Palworld** | 4+ cores | 16–32 GB | Ryzen 9 9900X | Community and publisher guidance, rounded.

You get a bare-metal server with root access: install any game panel, Docker or your own tooling. Linux panels install in minutes on Debian or Ubuntu. ### Some game servers need Windows. Is that possible? Yes. Install Windows Server with your own license from an ISO through the IPMI / KVM console. We do not resell Windows licenses. ### Does the DDoS protection cover game traffic? Network-level floods (UDP floods, amplification, SYN floods) are filtered for every server. Attacks that mimic valid game packets need game-aware filtering on your side, such as proxy plugins or protocol-level rate limits. ### Which location should I pick? The one closest to most of your players. As a rule of thumb, players notice latency above about 60 to 80 ms. Each location page lists typical latency to nearby cities. ### Can I resell game servers to my own customers? Yes. You are responsible for your customers’ use under our Acceptable Use Policy, and for answering abuse reports about them. **More solutions** - [Blockchain nodes](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/blockchain-nodes) - [Streaming & CDN](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/streaming-cdn) - [AI & GPU compute](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/ai-gpu-compute) - [Web & SaaS](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/web-saas) - [Storage & backup](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/storage-backup) - [Privacy & VPN](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/privacy-vpn) ## Deploy AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D for $219 a month.
