You need more dedicated wam

Hosting a server off your computer for a multiplayer game is typically bad practice. Mainly because your computer isn't made for such usage [I](as in your CPU)[/I]. I recommend renting out or buying a dedicated server when hosting servers, because ever if you are successful at running the server it is likely that the server will have alot of server-side performance issues. However, if you really want to host the server off your computer, RAM isn't your issues. It's your CPU

How much RAM does the PC have, and how much is SRCDS using?

I mean the only way to answer this question is literally getting new ram and sticking it in your dedicated server. Do you not know how to do that?

This thread attracted the 12 year olds of facepunch congratualations now to actually answer your question. You don't need any extra ram at all i believe the max amount of ram a gmod server can use is 2GB. What is most likely lagging your server is the cpu as Gmod servers are only able to utilise 1 thread for physics etc. You can try lowering the servers tickrate if you haven't already 33 is usually the best or the best solution would probably be setting the affinity of the server to use the least used core on your system so it doesn't get bogged down by the operating system or useless programs you might have running on it.

Pretty sure a portion of this will be caused by the way TTT's been coded, since we got this on our servers and I think it happens on singleplayer too Like, a lot of data is being thingied and stuff when round starts
