GMOD DEPENDS ON CPU?

[Double J]

As some have told me gmod mainly runs on the cpu, I currently have a shitty Amd radeon 7650k quad core and gmod runs shit, looking at upgrading that, I was thinking amd ryzen but I'm still figuring out if my motherboard I have (MSI Grenade) is right, including my ram, and such. More info later one. Cheers.

it is a 3 dimensional game that runs from 3 dimensional graphics it runs off all computer components including the cpu and the graphics card

After a quick Google I can safely say that your motherboard is fine for a ryzen!

and yes i only read the title

Thank you Mr lelios, now to find a good ryzen cpu that's cheap but good in performance

 

[Lelios1]

1800x should be good and cheap but it's a little old. I'm thinking about which one to buy too.

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/A320M-GRENADE/Specification used that to find out if it would, got to make sure my ram0(which should work) is good, might get another 8 gbs,

Why do you not have an atx?

 

[Double J]

I need to check lmao, according to that I don't, I purchased my pc a while ago and asked my brother to select parts.

Em, I'm pretty sure they are not compatible. A 7650K supports DDR3 RAM meaning the motherboard will only take DDR3 sticks. Ryzen will only run on DDR4 sticks which are not compatible with DDR3 slots.

You'll need to get a new motherboard and RAM.

Back to square 1

If you want DECENT performance in garry's mod AMD doesn't even make it to the top fucking 50 on passmark.. AMD is fine for overal performance and muh more cores, but in this case GET INTEL.

and with most of these you can keep your motherboard and your ram

 

[Lelios1]

WHY though, ryzen cheap and fast

 

[Trebblebob]

Shit single threaded performance in comparison to Intel.

Had a look at a new pc, mine is currently valued at 450, looking at this new one on a good website I used last time, have a look. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/checkout/addArticle

 

[Trebblebob]

Intel doesn't support the FM2+ socket. He is going to have to get a new motherboard no matter what.

 

[Trebblebob]

Your basket is stored in your session, we can't see it. Honestly, it might be a better idea to save up more and wait until prices from Ryzen 3 to drop as they're claiming significantly better single core performance which will be good for Source. AMD have delivered on their promises quite well from the past couple of years.

 

[Double J]

How convinient that is,

 

[Trebblebob]

Yeah, that's kind of why I'm recommending you to wait...

If you want over 80 fps in bazaar shootouts join the i7 9700k masterrace, can hit 5.2ghz with decent voltage. @Aquaa
