RedM is built on the same CitizenFX stack as FiveM and carries the same architectural constraint: the server executes almost all script work on a single main thread. Core count is therefore not what matters, per-core performance is. On a VORP Core, RSGCore or RedEM:RP server, MySQL/MariaDB runs on the same machine. What differs from FiveM is the volume of streamed assets: clothing, horse, weapon and map assets are noticeably larger, so storage capacity and latency become limiting earlier.
RedM is the multiplayer modding platform for Red Dead Redemption 2, developed by the same team as FiveM (Cfx.re). The stack is very similar: RedM's own artifacts run on the server, management goes through txAdmin, and roleplay servers are usually built on a framework. The technical decision follows the same logic — because script execution happens largely on a single main thread, per-core performance sets tick time. The difference from FiveM is that RDR2's larger, more detailed map means bigger streamed assets, which pushes storage capacity and read speed one step further up the list.
These values map one to one onto the VDS plan steps in our catalogue. Intermediate values can also be selected in the configurator.
| Players | RAM | vCPU | Storage | Intel i9-10920XDDR4 · Value | Ryzen 9 7950XDDR5 · Performance | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-32 | 8 GB | 4 | 80 GB | ₺1,410.00 / mo | ₺1,940.00 / mo | VORP or RSGCore with MySQL on the same machine, a mid-sized stream pack and custom clothing or horse assets. |
| 32-128 | 16 GB | 8 | 160 GB | ₺2,970.00 / mo | ₺4,000.00 / mo | Busy roleplay, large map and clothing packs, a separate database workload and an active event server. |
| 128+ | 32 GB | 16 | 250 GB | ₺5,600.00 / mo | ₺7,630.00 / mo | You reach the VDS ceiling at this scale; a dedicated server is recommended for single-core performance and storage capacity. |
The amounts in the table are the monthly net price of each processor option and match the calculation in the configurator. Billing period (3, 6, 12, 24 months) and extra resources are calculated in the configurator. The value option uses DDR4 memory, the performance option DDR5.
Prices exclude VAT (20%).
Slot count drives RAM and script density drives CPU; on RedM the third variable is streamed asset volume. Because RDR2 assets are larger than their GTA V counterparts, 80-120 GB of storage is common on a 64-slot roleplay server. Budget roughly 50-70 MB per player, a fixed 8-12 GB for the resource list and streams, and 2-4 GB for MySQL. NVMe is a requirement rather than a preference here: the number of assets read when a player enters an area turns into visible hitching on SATA SSD.
Most game servers run on a single thread, so per-core performance matters more than core count.
The value option. Cascade Lake-X with DDR4 memory and 12 cores / 24 threads. On RedM servers up to about 32 slots and on budget focused projects its per-resource pricing is clearly lower, which makes it the sensible pick.
Intel i9-10920X VDS plansThe performance option. Zen 4 with DDR5 and the highest single-core performance in our catalogue. Because RedM runs its main thread on one core, this is what determines tick time at higher slot counts. DDR5 bandwidth also helps with RDR2's large streamed assets.
Ryzen 9 7950X VDS plansThe order matters when moving a live server: back up the game files and the database on the old server, install the same version on the new one, import the database, then update the address your players connect to. Move the database last — if both servers stay online together for a while, player data splits in two and cannot be merged afterwards. Do not shut the old server down until the new one is verified.

Layered Fexwall DDoS protection is included free on every plan. Game traffic is protected at network level, from distributed nodes and the router through Fexwall's L4–L7 inspection; a CDN in front of HTTP does not protect the game's UDP traffic.
Every plan uses NVMe SSD. The database runs on the same machine as the game server, so storage latency turns directly into in-game stutter.
Servers are in Türkiye, at the DGN data centre in Bursa. Transit is 100 Gbps domestic and 10 Tbps international.
Setup completes automatically within minutes. Extra IPs, rDNS and firewall rules are managed from the customer panel.
