Perfomance Tips?

[Blicky]

Hi Guys,

As some of you may be aware It's looking like I'm returning to PERP. As I haven't played for years I'm relatively new to a lot of the things that have been added and a lot of the FPS guides (@Creepis) appear to be out of date. I'm getting circa 40 fps in the city and around 20-30 in shootouts which is annoying. My game doesn't really appear to be very smooth and stutters a bit.

I already know and use (r3d_sky or whatever it is) and that really helps. Does anyone else know how to increase performance without the obvious upgrading parts? I also recently re-installed my OS so my hard drives are not full. GMOD isn't installed on a SSD (I know putting it on there will increase read/write IO and thus performance however I don't really want to do that).

For reference my system is as follows:

CPU: Intel-i5 6600
GPU: GTX 970
RAM: 16GB


Your help is appreciated!

That’s just aids Gmod. It’s legit impossible to get over 50 no matter how good your pc is

Try overclocking your CPU to a higher frequency to get more out of it https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/overclocking-i5-6600-non-k-processor.2917360/

As for ingame settings, resolution tends to not effect fps as we did some benchmarks with other people and performance between 4k and 720p was almost unnoticed. So you can play on native res. Just turn shadows off (r_shadows 0) and set gmod_mcore_test to 1. Aside from that its very hard to push 60fps when server hits 50+ players. You could maybe look into unparking your CPU and see if that does anything (https://coderbag.com/programming-c/disable-cpu-core-parking-utility)


Also GMOD with perp content is only around 5gb, and you can make an ahk script to move your demos to your HDD after you quit rather than keeping them on your SSD. I highly recommend it because loading times are insanely faster and its just more convenient.

and here's an autoexec.cfg by @NeluDaHunter who somehow gets insane FPS on perp

Do you/anyone have an AHK script to move the demos to my HDD?

There you go, you'll have to change the paths yourself for the specific folders you will use, for example right now the script simply moves it from the garrysmod directory to another folder within the same drive.

Also I just compile it to a .exe and pin it to the taskbar, because currently I use it to launch gmod, and upon running it will move any demos to the designated folder.

I normally get around 100fps if I'm not in a shootout and about 40-50 if I'm in a shootout.
