Frequently Asked Questions
2Is there a more cost-effective setup to run Garry's Mod?
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $3583 ($1934 CPU + $1649 GPU). This is a well-balanced setup, meaning you're getting good value from both components without significant waste.
3Which component should I upgrade first to improve Garry's Mod performance?
This setup is already well-balanced for Garry's Mod. No significant bottleneck - CPU and GPU are well matched across all settings. Both the EPYC 9255 and GeForce RTX 4090 complement each other effectively, so upgrading either component individually would yield diminishing returns. If you want more FPS, you'd benefit most from upgrading both CPU and GPU together.
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 EPYC 9255 and GeForce RTX 4090 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 EPYC 9255 and GeForce RTX 4090?
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.
