[Suggestions?] Help in increasing game performance 6 years 6 months ago #707489

As some of you know, I'm pretty damn broke. I'm on a 4GB Ram Toshiba Laptop meant for office work yet I still play gmod.
On servers such as murder and prop hunt, I have steady fps rate however I'd like to join servers such as SSRP. However everytime I load in my game is extremely laggy, even with all settings to minimum. I am unable to afford a new pc, and i'd rather not overclock the laptop due to it only having a singular fan (It doesn't overheat as of so far)

But I'd like to become more involved in the community, most of which play this gamemode. So if anyone has suggestions as to how I can improve my gameplay please leave comment :lol: :unsure:

As most PC Gamers will say,

Build your own PC.

What I mean by that is not to get all the materials and shit and start making your own motherboard :silly:

You can look up on the internet for all types of motherboards, graphic cards, GPUs, processors, cooling fans.

Whilst I'd love to help I have shit desktop of my own (pre-made bundle - despite being able to run all of GMODs gamemodes at a steady 20fps or higher) I also have football training, I'm sure some people here are more experienced at helping you though :)

What helped me when I was using a laptop was typing mat_specular 0 in console, it makes everything not shiny anymore but it should stop some lag, at least it did for me

Put that in your autoexec or each command indivually into your console.


The autoexec file is found here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\cfg

Too lazy to read replies but search google for Gmod fps boost cfg, you'll have many configurations to choose from and back when i had a shitty laptop that ran gmod with 15fps usually, those configs helped me quite a lot

Addons can lag your game down as well. SSRP has many of them, which is why my own game either lags out or even crashes at times.

Open up your console and type these things

cl_threaded_bone_setup 1; mat_queue_mode -1; cl_threaded_client_leaf_system 1; r_threaded_client_shadow_manager 1; r_threaded_particles 1; r_threaded_renderables 1; r_queued_ropes 1; studio_queue_mode 1; gmod_mcore_test 1; r_3dsky 0

It should boost FPS by 30%

Turning steam overlay off should help a bit also.
