[GUIDE] Gmod FPS Boost

[Gyrann]

Hello. This is a simple guide where I show you my personal configurations which I have been using and updating ever since I started playing Gmod. This will actually give you at least 10-15 FPS or even more, especially if you are on a lower-end pc (I got almost 30 on nebulous back in the day). I used to know what each of the commands did but I honestly forgot after all these years, however, keep in mind that gmod_mcore_test "1" is vital. Be aware that this config may slightly reduce graphical quality and it's worth saying that I am not responsible for any crashes.

Also, I encourage you to post your own config if you do use one!

Anyways

STEP 1 : LAUNCH OPTIONS
Open your steam library -> Right click on Garry's Mod (Make sure to have the 64x version, more fps) -> Properties -> General -> Paste this in the Launch Options bar.

+mat_dxlevel 90 +mat_trilinear 0 +mat_antialias 2 -windowed -noborder -novid +exec "autoexec.cfg"

STEP 2 : AUTOEXEC.cfg
Open your steam library -> Right click on Garry's Mod -> Properties ->Local Files -> find /garrysmod/cfg/autoexec.cfg (If you don't have it, create it. If for some reason you want to put your config in another cfg file, make sure to rename "autoexec.cfg" to whatever in the Launch Options above.) ->Open the cfg file and paste this in.

tip: if you want to test each individual command you can put // at the start of a line you wish Gmod to ignore.

cl_new_impact_effects "0"
cl_threaded_bone_setup "1"
cl_threaded_client_leaf_system "1"
cl_autohelp "0"
cl_smooth "0"
cl_forcepreload "1"
cl_showfps "1"
r_queued_decals "1"
r_queued_ropes "1"
r_queued_post_processing "1"
r_threaded_client_shadow_manager "1"
r_fastzreject "-1"
r_threaded_particles "1"
r_threaded_renderables "1"


sv_forcepreload "1"
sv_cheats "1"


mat_alphacoverage "0"
mat_queue_mode "-1"
mat_specular "0"


r_drawmodeldecals "0"


in_usekeyboardsampletime "0"
snd_mix_async "1"
leyworkshopdls_clearserverdl "0"
M9KGasEffect "0"

studio_queue_mode "1"
gmod_mcore_test "1" 

clear

This is it. Some commands might be outdated and not work anymore, regardless, I hope it boosts your fps as it boosted mine
