[Auris]

yeah but my wifi aint gunna be stable enough for it is it though ? also i'd rather not pay 30 pound a month forever or how ever much it is

If you're not willing to spend the money on better hardware then don't bother asking people for upgrade recommendations

At the moment GPU's are virtually none not existent for a ok price, id suggest getting some better ram and a old i3-8th gen and then getting a GPU when the price are somewhat affordable again

 

[Jenga]

run a speed test and compare it to their speeds.
or better yet buy a 10 pound ethernet cable

 

[Auris]

what sort of GPU would i be looking for

 

[Jenga]

also its 9 pound a month - 108 per year and you will not find a pc that can run anything for probably 5x that

NVIDIA GeForce NOW

@Jenga im going to try the free version for a bit to see if its stable/works alright

 

[Clarky]

@Auris PERP doesn’t require CSS anymore so this is genuinely the best option for the time being until GPU prices go down and saving your money towards a decent PC

1060 or a rx 570 i'd suggest

 

[Auris]

@Clarky ok i will give it a try for now though i may smack in a ram kit

As Garry's Mod uses the Source Engine, it is also heavily reliant on CPU power.

If you're going to spend so little, you're better off looking for CPUs of the same family generation to prevent a motherboard change. I would look around eBay for old Sandy Bridge CPUs on the LGA1155 socket. Something like this might work but I'm not too familiar with older CPU generations so I cannot guarantee compatibility.
