Yes.Atleast for some, as some user's on Reddit reported, that if you put the -window and -noborder option in your launch options you might notice a performance boost.Test this out for yourself, I could not confirm this at the moment for myself as I did not see any difference at all.

Now, does -window and -noborder do something special? Makes the ugly border's in windowed mode go away.

It is recommended that you use the 90 option, to avoid any problems and graphical artifacts.And if I recall correctly, you may not even be able to join the server, on any DirectX Level below 90, feel free to prove me wrong on this one. dxlevel 80 = Directx 8.0 (S'medium Quality) dxlevel 81 = Directx 8.1 (Medium Quality) dxlevel 95 = Directx 9.0 (Higher Quality)

dxlevel 96-99 = Directx 9.0 (Maxed Quality) dxlevel 90īasically, uses different DirectX Levels.Here is a small list of all available DirectX Levels. This command prevents lightmaps from loading into to the hunk memory.Pretty nifty to avoid any unwanted Hunk Overflow problems, while you're playing, might increase performance.

Now, this one is the best one by far.This command simply disables DirectX DLL for DirectX9 which gives you a nice FPS boost, but using this will make alt tabbing into Garry's Mod alot longer.And another thing is, it disabled my Steam Overlay you can access trough Shift+Tab, but this might not be the case for you as the Steam Overlay still worked for me in CS:GO while using this command also in the launch options of CS:GO. Replacing the x with a 0 or a -2 disables multicore rendering. Replacing the x with a -1 or a 2 enables mutlicore rendering. This is something called mutlicore rendering, which just takes advantages of multiple cores which result in better performance. threads xīasically, put the number of threads/CPUs where x is.Quad core users should put in 4, Dual core 2, etc. Sets hl2.exe (gmod) into high priority, just like in Taskmanager.Some say this doesn't help your performance at all, some say it does.Test it out for yourself and let that option stay inside your launch options. nojoy Disables the use of joysticks, frees up slight amount of ram which doesn't really affect that much performance. Should do what it says, activates the console which can be used to enter commands like retry, connect, quit, kill, say, act etc. This is the advanced video settings menu with my options.Fiddle around with these and see which options give you the best performance for youĪs you can already see, I've added quite some commands in there.I will explain every single one of them down here.(And as you've just seen, its a little mess, forgot to remove a - after the -threads 4 and a duplicate mat_queue_mode, just ignore those) -console (And in most cases it can even drop below 10FPS with a bunch of car headlights in a car accident, those are generally nightmares) These are the most optimal settings for my Garrys Mod, outside Perp I get around a stable 45-60FPS, PERP is around 20-30 when its around the busiest of days in the server. I've created this guide to help other people out with their poor overall FPS in Gmod or in this gamemode.As we all may know, the Source engine is old and outdated enough as it is and tweaking is needed to get the best performance out of it.You've may already seen it in many Steamcommunity guides but I've decided to create my own one here, in the guide section of this lovely forum.

If you're a sweaty PERP nerd upgrade your CPU and do some research, you can also always ask me for advice. Your GPU will do jack shit and maybe hit 40% usage max which is the case for my RX 580 and then fuck back off to 0%. Feels weird looking back at this though but just remember=Source is CPU dependant. I have a autoexec.cfg for grabs so you can have all the benefits without too much fiddling to do by yourself so hit me up if you need it. DM me for anything performance related instead as PERP has changed a lot and I have a lot more knowledge of whitelisted cvars for the server that can improve your performance. Wow, here is a 2018 edit for ya lads because I noticed a random guest looking at this thread: This is old and outdated stuff. Bit outdated but should still work for the most of you.

Please note that I have abandoned this thread by quite some time now.
