The tickrate for Garry's mod automatically defaults to 66. If you'd like to lower it you can add -tickrate 33 to your command line.

In your command line (usually in a shortcut or a .bat file) add -tickrate 66

Change 66 to your desired tickrate, RP servers usually need 33 tick or less.

If you open up net_graph 4 while connected to your server you can check the sv: value there. You can also run the "stats" command on the server and check the FPS there.

Example of one of my 33 tick servers:

Code: Select all

02:47:42 CPU    In (KB/s)  Out (KB/s)  Uptime  Map changes  FPS      Players  Connects
         0.00   40.42      84.10       1296    2            33.33    17       596     
22 tick:

Code: Select all

02:48:39 CPU    In (KB/s)  Out (KB/s)  Uptime  Map changes  FPS      Players  Connects
         26.99  37.98      219.18      262     0            22.22    21       67      
66 tick:

Code: Select all

02:49:23 CPU    In (KB/s)  Out (KB/s)  Uptime  Map changes  FPS      Players  Connects
         25.64  51.75      334.33      159     2            66.67    11       120     
As you can see under the "FPS" part, this reflects the tickrate of the server when performing properly(FPS is tied to tickrate).
