To add on Evil's list. Here is:
Fly's Official Low FPS Console Command Collection
Discovered and Assembled by Glowth (so i can't actually take credit for it)
Recommended launch options:
-console -high -threads # +cl_cmdrate 67 +cl_updaterate 67 +rate 30000
-console Enables console
-high Set's Gmod's processing priority higher than normal, which can keep background applications from lagging your game. However, note that it can potentially cause issues with things like Steam overlay, Skype, or other VOIP programs, ecspecially on dual core machines.
-threads <#> Google your CPU specs and see how many threads you have. I have an i5-4690k, so I have 4 threads: -threads 4
+cl_cmdrate 67
+cl_updaterate 67
+rate 30000
These won't impact performance, it will help your connection to servers, potentially making things like props move smoother. Unlikely but might help.
-winxp Runs the game in windows compatibility mode. Possible fps boost? Might crash upon Alt Tabbing the game on lower end pc's. Please comment below if this command made any difference.
-nod3d9ex Disables Windows Aero Extensions
A somewhat recent graphics card won't see much of a performance boost from setting this, it'll more than likely hurt performance and can cause instability from alt+tabbing.
-directX 9.0/8.0/7.0 - don't exist, there's -dxlevel which will reset your video options every launch, use +mat_dxlevel 95
With a somewhat recent graphics card (GeForce 700 series or later, Radeon HD 6000 series or later), this won't have much if any positive impact on performance. Setting +max_dxlevel 90 may help performance for some however, it'll disable a lot of effects that don't really impact performance on decent PCs (DirectX 9.0 vs. DirectX 9.0c), and can actually cause other issues. +mat_dxlevel 81 and 80 cause many issues
If you put these in your launch options, your game will most likely get an fps boost. Remember that if you really want more fps, check out the autoexec and the commands below.
Ingame console commands
sv_autoladderdismount <0,1> If set to 1, the player automatically dismounts from ladders when the end is reached. If disabled, the player must press the USE key to mount/dismount ladders and hence cannot accidentally jump/walk off a ladder. Set to taste as there is no performance impact.
stopsound If you hear a constant* sound of something, type stopsound in the console.
flush Flushes the cache memory. Can resolve graphical anomalies such as texture glitches???
exit Shuts down Gmod.
quit Shuts down Gmod.
bind <key, command> example: bind g "say Hello!" Will make you say "Hello!" In the chat box.
r_cleardecals Clears all current decals on the map. Note: This only removes them, it does NOT stop new ones from forming, so it's only temporary.
bindtoggle <key, command> Same as the bind command, expect the assigned key can be used to both turn the command on and off
