📈Analysis

Which Component Limits FPS Most?

This chart answers a simple question: which upgrade is more likely to increase FPS first? In this case, the answer is clearly the GPU.

The largest gap appears at 1080p Ultra, where the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile reaches about 372 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has headroom up to roughly 520 FPS.

That means the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile is hitting its performance ceiling first, leaving a 28% gap versus the Ryzen 7 7800X3D's available headroom in the most unbalanced scenario. Across all tested settings, this pairing is GPU-limited in 12 out of 12 cases, with 0 CPU-limited and 0 balanced results.

Overall, this is a clearly GPU-bound combination in this game.

Verdict

Upgrade Recommendations

GPU-Limited

The RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile is consistently the limiting part in this game, so upgrading the GPU is more likely to deliver a larger FPS gain than upgrading the CPU.

Detailed BreakdownShows which upgrade is more likely to unlock more FPS in each tested setting

This chart shows which upgrade is more likely to unlock more FPS in each tested setting. The lower line represents the part that reaches its limit first. When the CPU and GPU lines stay close together, the system is more balanced. When the gap widens, one component is more clearly holding the other back. Hover any setting to inspect it.

The lower line is the current limiter. The closer the two lines are, the more balanced the CPU and GPU are for this game.

🧠Methodology

Each line represents an estimated FPS ceiling for one component, rather than live usage alone.

To estimate the CPU ceiling, we pair the Ryzen 7 7800X3D with GeForce RTX 5090, our current GPU anchor. To estimate the GPU ceiling, we pair the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile with Ryzen 9 9950X3D, our current CPU anchor.

The lower line indicates the current limiter, since that component reaches its FPS ceiling first. In most scenarios, that is also the part most likely to deliver the bigger performance uplift if upgraded first.

The percentage shown represents the gap between the two ceilings. In practical terms, it shows how much of the stronger component's potential is left unused because the weaker one becomes the bottleneck first.

Garry's Mod FAQ

1Can the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile run Garry's Mod well?

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile can run Garry's Mod smoothly up to 4k achieving around 308 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 985% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 160% above the recommended requirements.

2Is there a more cost-effective setup to run Garry's Mod?

Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced - this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.

3Which component should I upgrade first to improve Garry's Mod performance?

Your RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile is already a top-tier graphics card. In the Performance Limiter Analysis, it is still the side that most often reaches its FPS ceiling first, but there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Garry's Mod performance right now. The main bottleneck appears on the GPU side. The largest gap shows up at 1080p Ultra, where the GPU reaches about 372 FPS while the CPU still has headroom up to roughly 520 FPS. Across all tested settings, the distribution is 12/12 GPU-limited, 0/12 CPU-limited, and 0/12 balanced.

4Does this setup support Frame Generation for Garry's Mod?

Garry's Mod does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.

5What are the minimum and recommended specs for Garry's Mod?

Garry's Mod requires at minimum a Pentium 4 (CPU) and GeForce 6 series (GPU) with 4 GB RAM and 5 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5 and GeForce GTX 750 with 8 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.

6How accurate are these Garry's Mod FPS estimates for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile?

These Garry's Mod FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.

Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.

Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
