I don't know but I think my PC is terrible or has gone to shit. I remember when I was able to play CSGO nicely, same for GMOD, but right now it just has AWFUL FPS and it freezes often on Garry's Mod and sometimes on TF2.

Can someone please help me? What's going on with my PC? What can I do? I've cleaned up a good amount of space on my PC and I put every gmod command in the console possible to make the game run smoother, not to mention that the quality of the models, etc are on the lowest. It wasn't like this before but now it's so shitty and it just freezes, even as I write this thread it freezes a little bit.

Please, can someone help me? I've even cleaned the interior of my PC and I still have horrible fps. I also use these commands to up the FPS a little.

r_lod 8;mat_picmip 2;mat_filtertextures 0;mat_filterlightmaps 0;r_3dsky 0;cl_detaildist 0;cl_show_splashes 0;gmod_mcore_test 1

Ok, first. Have you wiped your PC clean?
If this was just a Garrys Mod problem I would suggest cleaning out ALL of your addons as this happened to me before, but I've never heard it going over into other games aswell. For now, I recommend wiping your pc and don't forget to remove subscriptions from EVERYTHING in the workshop you don't actively use. Every few months my pc does a similar thing where everything tends to just slow to a crawl and just giving it a fresh wipe and only keeping essentials clears it up for a bit

Here are the commands I use for an FPS boost. Put them in steamapps -> common -> GarrysMod -> garrysmod -> cfg -> autoexec.cfg

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
muzzleflash_light 0
con_filter_enable 1
con_filter_text_out error

I've also enabled the chromium branch for GMOD, giving me a boost aswell.
go to your steam library -> right click gmod -> properties -> betas

Unsubscribe from all addons you've got for GMOD, do menu_cleanupgmas in the main menu and subscribe only to the addons you need. If it's a PC issue, I guess there's nothing to be done about it.

I remember having solid fps on d47 and c24 before. My PC has gotten worse over time for whatever reason even though I've gotten Windows 10 and got my drivers updated. It has to be the PC or something. I dont know and its annoying me.

Plus, I gave away all of my savings, which were 220€ since I dont even work, to my bro who had some unexpected bills. I was going to use that cash to upgrade my PC. It sucks fucking ass to bw roleplaying AND OH BOY here comes the freeze.

Windows 10 doesn't improve your performance.

But anyways, it isn't your fault, the performance is bad because of the amount of props on the server. I get terrible performance on the server with everything else running well.
For me, no settings change the fps, even raising or lowering the general quality of the game does little, and the commands people post probably won't help you either.

Just have to get on with the lag, I guess.

And one more thing - try switching to direct x 11 through gmod, it sometimes helps.

I dont know because over time my PC could handle CSGO and Payday 2 very well. Games like that, Gmod and tf2 were nice wnd smooth. Nowadays I cant run Payday 2 or CSGO. Unsure if its their updates or what. All I can do is buy a new set uo, Im guessing. I spoke with someone close to me and they reccommended that I got new stuff.

Warning though, no matter how much you upgrade , Gmod will remain relatively shit. I have an I9 and a 2070 and it still runs rather crappy. I believe the reason was that the old ass engine does not use all your CPU cores and only uses one or something like that, don't quote me on that though :stuck_out_tongue:

exactly, that's what I meant before.
but uh gmod_mcore_test 1 / changing to x64 makes your gmod run with more cores but looks like even this works like shit

WHAT THE FUCK. I changed it to 64x and did some commands for fps and I get 45-50, but sometimes it drops to 8 and it freezes a little. Any help on this?

It also sometimes stays on 35 now

If you are getting low FPS on one game, it could be the game.

If it's across multiple games though, chances are it's the PC. What're your specs?

How do I check that? I'm on Windows 10

DX diag will do for now.

Open up your windows menu and type in DXDIAG

Take a picture of the first screen, then of your "display" screen. Or you can just paste the Memory, CPU, and GPU info here.

The processor is a AMD A 10-7850K Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8g (4 CPUs) ~ 3.7GHz
The memory is 8192MB RAM
DirectX version is 12

That's all there is around. I'll go dig in more.

OK - This one seems easy. Currently you are running off of your internal GPU.

Do you have a dedicated GPU? It's the big card slotted in like ram inside the PC.

Unless you've somehow missed the Graphics processing unit

Heres mine - It says at the top the name of the card and the chip type is "RTX 2080TI" << this is what you are looking for

I have no complete idea. Is there anyway to solve this mess?
