Ive noticed lately that i get roughly half the fps i normally do on Garry's Mod. Normally i can host a server and get 60fps easy, now i get about 20. In singleplayer on Flatgrass i used to be able to get 250fps on the update that added multicore support, and now i get about 100. Last night i even got a blue screen. Has anyone else noticed a remarkable slowdown or is my computer getting ready to die?
Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom 9500 X4 2.2Ghz
RAM: 3Gb 667Mhz
GPU: Nvidia 9800GT 512MB
Driver status: Everything is the very latest.
Oh shit, i did a stress test on CSS, and it ran just as well as ever, in fact, a little faster than normal... so this problem is localized to Gmod.
Dang, nearly 30 views and no responses? The solution must be so damn obvious that everyone thinks i am a retard for asking...
One thing I've always noticed in GMod is amazingly low FPS with my 8800GT.
HL2 and the episodes generally run at 40FPS (Ep2) on Max (excluding AA), yet on Flatgrass, multiplayer with just a few props (say, 15), and my FPS can easily drop to 20 when looking at the direction of the props.
One thing you can try is +autoconfig in the launch options, this will do what it says, reset your settings to default. From there change them back to what you want. Believe it or not, this actually gave me 5-10 extra FPS in CS:S, and should help Gmod.
That or try and disable all the addons you have.
