How to Make Gmod Run Faster
All of the commands below can be added to your autoexec.cfg file which can be found at a path similar to this steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\cfg so that you do not have to do these commands every time you load in.
Commands
gmod_mcore_test 1
mat_queue_mode 2
cl_threaded_bone_setup 1
r_3dsky 0
r_dynamic 0
r_dynamiclighting 0
r_maxdlights 0
r_drawmodeldecals
0 r_shadows 0
r_decals 0
r_drawdecals 0
cl_detaildist 0
cl_show_splashes 0
cl_ejectbrass 0
Depending on the server you are currently playing on, some of these commands won't help/won't do anything. I would go through and describe each one and what it does but this is supposed to be a brief guide on how you can make the game run smoother ASAP. If you have issues after running some of these commands, simply restart your game and mess with a few until you get a combo that works best for you and your computer.
Workshop/Addons
It is always good to keep a low addon count. I have personally seen many many people that have over 800 addons on their active addon list and are complaining about lag. PLEASE try to unsubscribe from addons you don't need/don't use anymore and this will 100% help your game run better!
