I recently unearthed a command which turns on multi-core rendering in Gmod (No, the setting in the video menu does literally nothing)

I did some experimenting and I found that I went from 20 FPS to upwards of 25-30 FPS, from this one command. It's free FPS! (If you have a multi-core CPU, otherwise this doesn't do anything)

The command is..

Let me know if you also have success with this command. If you want this to be enabled by default go into your auto.exec and add the command.

This doesn't work for everyone!

Tried it - it actually bumped my fps up by 3-5 fps or so

Thats from the latest Gmod update.

Queued (Multi-Core) Rendering

This isn’t finished yet, but queued rendering should be pretty robust now. Any changes in performance are entirely dependent on your hardware and the scene being rendered.

You can enable it by running a few commands when you launch the game (press Shift+Escape to open the console):
gmod_mcore_test 1
mat_queue_mode -1
cl_threaded_bone_setup 1
