I am wondering how people are getting over 100fps in most situations and shootouts while i cant go above 50-60 with my specs being decent.
 
Fullscreen, vsync off, max fps set to atleast 120+.
Otherwise, might be your ram/cpu unless you wanna give a list of your specs.
I have a r5 5500 and a rx 6700xt with 32gb ddr4
Had the same performance with my old pc which had i5 4th gen in it
 
Here is a useful chart for CPU's from gamers nexus, CPU dependency. Better CPU = better frames on gmod and other games. the 6700xt is more than enough for gmod as a GPU.

Having an excellent CPU with a lot of cache such as the rx 7800x3d (Ryzon "3D" series is shown to provide more FPS as seen in @HuskyD0G benchmark above). However, this is obviously not ideal as it will be quite expensive.

You can also change settings to optimise your FPS such as using commands like r_3dsky 0 and r_shadows 0 (Here is a nice updated thread made by phoondos on commands/config that you can use https://perpheads.com/threads/perpheads-performance-guide-2024.60890/)

Sometimes, having too many addons can also cause some weird glitches and can slightly affect frames (for me at least), so I would also recommend to ONLY have the perpheads addons enabled.

Make sure multi-core rendering is enabled and also try not to run as much applications in the background that uses a lot of CPU and RAM (Chrome, Discord etc..)

That is about all I can think of, GMOD is quite an old game and the fact that the game is still running 45 - 60fps with 128 players is a miracle considering the frames we used to get back in the day with only 60 players.
 
Alongside what Megasaw has suggested, put -high in your launch commandline or change the priority of gmod/hl2.exe to high in task manager (you'll have to do this each time unless you do the commandline way), you may notice a increase big or small

How do you do this exactly?
