Garry's Mod on Radeon R9 Fury
Yes. The Radeon R9 Fury is well above Garry's Mod's recommended spec. We estimate ~93 fps at 1080p high (range 74–112, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~65 fps on high). Its 4 GB of video memory covers the 4 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 158 | 111 | 66 |
| medium | 121 | 85 | 51 |
| high | 93 | 65 | 39 |
| ultra | 74 | 52 | 31 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: high preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: low preset
AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon R9 Fury back.
- Processor needed for ~93 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU: CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 93.
Video memory
- Radeon R9 Fury: 4 GB
- Minimum spec: 1 GB (+3 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 4 GB (+0 GB headroom)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in Garry's Mod; usually the cheapest.
