Multicore was enabled with the console command gmod_mcore_test 1, cl_threaded_bone_setup 2, and mat_queue_mode -1. Surprisingly, the 0.1% lows were consistent, but the -threads 8 had the worst 1% low out of all the three with around 10-20 fps difference. Average framerate didn't happen to change at all only at around 4.24% (2-10 frames difference). Out of curiosity, I decided to compare the famous -threads with 64-bit to see if there were any vast improvements in terms of performance. However, this is not the only benchmark so far. This was done on gm_construct at high graphical settings. In addition, the 1% and 0.1% lows are much more higher in 64-bit than in 32-bit. Here, we see around a 26.4% performance increase in average FPS with 64-bit Garry's Mod. If you want to learn about them, here is a video that explains what 1% & 0.1% Lows are. In these benchmarks, I will be using vocabulary not many people will know such as 1% Lows and 0.1% Lows.
The Ryzen 7 2700X has a similar IPC performance of an i5-9400F, so these benchmarks should represent a lot of budget PCs out there. In addition, many of the players in the Garry's Mod community have low-end systems. For all of these tests, I will be using a Ryzen 7 2700X with an overclocked GTX 1050 Ti. Garry's Mod is not really GPU-bound, so atrong graphics card like an RTX 2060 is unnecessary. Here, I have a benchmark that compares the difference in framerate (32-bit vs 64-bit) in gm_construct.
Simply put, it's a much more optimized version of Garry's Mod, and it's suppose to utilize more computer resources to the game. By default, Garry's Mod runs on 32-bit, but there is a 64-bit version of Garry's Mod you probably haven't heard of. Garry's Mod is one of Valve's popular games in Steam, and is mostly known for its poor optimization for today's systems which mostly compromise of 8 threads or more.
