How to increase your FPS in most Gmod servers.

As most of you know Gmod is known for it's poor optimization especially when it comes to a gamemode that was never really meant to run on it. I've compilled a list below with commands that you can shove into your autoexec file to drastically improve your gameplay. In most instances you'll get double the FPS, unless you have a native dual core such as the Core2Duo series.

steamapps /common/garrysmod /garrysmod/cfg

Find the autoexec.cfg file and open it with Notepad++ preferably which you can get for free here:https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

After that add the following commands:

r_maxmodeldecal 0
r_drawmodeldecals 0
r_PhysPropStaticLighting 0
gmod_mcore_test 1
cl_threaded_client_leaf_system 1
r_3dsky 0
r_queued_decals 1
r_queued_post_processing 1
r_queued_ropes 1
r_threaded_client_shadow_manager 1
r_threaded_particles 1
r_threaded_renderables 1
r_fastzreject -1
cl_threaded_bone_setup 1
cl_threaded_client_leaf_system 1
snd_mix_async 1
snd_async_fullyasync 1
in_usekeyboardsampletime 0

It should look like this:



Now your Gmod should work on 2 FPS instead of 1!
