Reasoning Breakdown
- › Player count of 32 drives the base CPU requirement to 4 threads.
- › QBCore runs additional server-side event loops — minimum 4 threads recommended.
- › Base RAM for 32 players: 4 GB.
- › Framework (qbcore) adds ~1 GB for resource manager and DB connections.
- › Medium script load adds 1–2 GB for Lua runtime and resource pools.
- › Moderate streaming assets increase RAM usage — vehicles and clothing packs are cached server-side.
- › Storage estimate: 30 GB SSD. FiveM base files ~5 GB, resources add the rest. NVMe/SSD is required for fast streaming.
- › Upload bandwidth: each FiveM player uses ~30–60 kbps of upload. Streaming assets add burst load on player connect.
- › Dedicated server: prefer a high single-core clock speed (3.5+ GHz) — FiveM scripting is mostly single-threaded per resource.
