Best hardware for low latency

Submitted by kjk on #1

TLDR; What's the best low latency dedicated hardware for Virtual Here server?

Hello, I've been playing around with VH and I really like it. I'm currently running a Pi 3B+ with the general trial build to test things out.

I have everything working (single USB PC racing wheel) but I do see some latency spikes when looking at the statistics graphs (around 7/8 ms sometimes, normal < 1ms) and I was wondering if better hardware would help getting the latency spikes down as I suspect that maybe is a bottle neck.

Btw I tried running it of an older Synology NAS (DS112+) but apparently my trial already expired (: I did some of the same latency in the graph though.

I have a managed switch in between of all this so if there are any particular network settings I should set for better performance?
All the devices are connected via ethernet cable.

Ps. I wouldn't mind a Cloudhub installation if that gives the best performance, as I'm only interested in using VH on the device.
Thanks in advance.

The pi3b+ is ok, but it does share the USB port with the network port (they use the same port in the cpu) so its not idea but for a wheel its ok. 

The synology is probably better because it has a gigabit ethernet cable and a pretty good cpu even back in the year 2012.

Thanks for the quick reply, and insight.

Do you think the Synology option would better then say for instance a Pi 4 with cloudhub??

Aha ok, I have a Pi 4 I possibly can borrow to test it out.
Love the software, thanks for making it possible.
