How many frames can I get with a GTX 1660 Ti?

[the sound a cat makes]

I'm thinking of getting a laptop with a
Intel Core i7-9750H
NVIDIA GeForce GTX1660Ti (non max-q)
and 16GB DDR4 2666 -2400mhz Dual Channel.

Will the GTX 1660 Ti a bit too weak for the rest of the system?

It'll do fine, it mostly will go under utilized in this game. Your CPU is what matters for this, you have an alright processor that'll run this game fine.

How much does the GPU affect performance then?

You're unlikely to record a performance difference between a GTX 1660 ti and an RTX 2080 ti if that says anything.

Anything past the low-end GPUs from 2015+ are more than enough for GMod nowadays. You'll see more benefits by forcing your game to enter multi-threaded mode by entering in launch options & switch to 64-bit beta than you would from any form of GPU upgrades.

how much does the amount of ram or mhz of the ram affect the fps of Garry's Mod?
Also keep in mind all setting would normally be set on the highest settings at 1080p

Not very much as far as I'm aware, when I went from my 2GB of DDR3 1333Mhz RAM to 8GB 1600Mhz I didn't observe really any noticeable performance gains other than I got rid of the 'Out of Memory' error.

Having 8GB is fine for GMod, although with the 64-bit support allowing servers to stuff more addons for clients to have downloaded & mounted to their client has definitely upped the RAM requirement.
I played on my client's server, my FPS was horribly low and I very frequently crashed (sometimes while loading) due to hitting the 32-bit memory limit on the default GMod client.

Once I switched over to the 64-bit client my FPS wasn't a new experience or anything, but it was probably +15fps~ gain for me. Although more importantly I was able to join & play until somebody crashes the server, I had checked my task manager and noticed his server was consuming 6GB of my RAM alone.
That's why I would say if you're playing on high addon count servers such as RP servers or Sandbox servers you should consider grabbing 16GB.

Don't even buy a gaming laptop, They're slow, Unreliable, Heavy and etc. Trust me don't .

His laptop has no reason to be slow or unreliable, heavy just depends on the model but with a 45w CPU and a desktop 1660ti it will be heavy but I don't think that is a concern to OP if he's choosing the laptop knowing this
