Ka_Zaf Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 hi.. i would like to get some feedback on what's the system requirement to get the best performance out of the game? e.g running all leagues and game is still smooth with no lag. thanks.

wackettdagenham Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 For a laptop it could be a Alienware M17x. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo_rune Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 You're not going to 'run all leagues' and 'get no lag' on any PC available today - assuming that when you refer to lag, you're referring to extensive delays while processsing other fixtures. Get a system with a multi-core CPU, 4GB RAM or more, 64-bit Windows 7, and you'll be fine, so long as you're reasonable with the number of leagues you load.

Ka_Zaf Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 thanks for the suggestions. so its impossible to run all leagues as said? yes my lag refers to the processing of other fixtures and loading when going into a match as well as some pauses in match engine. can u explain wat is multi-core? what is the most crucial thing in a system to be able to load a large data in the game? is it RAM? or video RAM?

wackettdagenham Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 RAM and CPU its what you need to look at with a half decent graphics for the 3D match engine. If you wnat to really push the boat out then get a SSD (solid state drive) or two SSD's in RAID 0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently running ALL the leagues in my game (around 117 leagues) and this is the specification of my laptop: Core 2 Duo processor 2.53Ghz NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS video card 4 GB of RAM Windows 7 64-bit OS. So far, I am in my first season and the speed is reasonable to me. But I am not sure how this set up would run 5 seasons from now! The problem is, FM 2011 is still 32-bit. I just hope that Football Manager 2012 would be 64-bit! By the way, my laptop is "only" a Gateway FX model, suited for gaming. But an Alienware M17X is one of the best gaming laptops in the world right now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishu Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 an i7 or X6 can easily run all leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
santy001 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 For a laptop it could be a Alienware M17x. You should seriously be shot where you stand for recommending someone buys an Alienware. Ever since Dell have taken them over trying to play FM on a microwave would make more sense and be a much better use of money. If you want FM to run at absolutely optimal speed you want: A 6 core i7 processor (the QPI allows much faster data transfer) This overclocked so the 6.4GT/s is 7.2 or 7.6GT/s and the blck core is about 200Mhz 2000Mhz RAM, probably overclocked to 2200Mhz A motherboard which supports the above overclock The Match engine needs little in the way of power to process so any gfx card from post 2005/6 would do. But seriously, recommending alienware to people? Their top end laptops are around 2 grand, I've only just forced a friend to send his back so that he could get a proper computer (ie desktop) for the price of his Alienware laptop he is getting: 28" monitor i7 980X H70 cooler Antec 1200 Case Nvidia GTX580 6GB of tri-channel Dominator 2000Mhz RAM That covers the basics, but his laptop cost £2568, his desktop which quite frankly tears it a new one with some of the absolute top end components available comes to £2400 on Aria. That said however, when doing benchmarks because of the throttling his processor had, even my 5750 gfx card came out with higher scores than his SLi 250's and my own PC only cost £800 with much lesser components in than that above. With just England loaded it takes 9 minutes for me to holiday a season with fortnightly autosaving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishu Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 i3 and i5? i3s not much. Depend on the model. i5 750/760 is great. Better than any AMD (except multi threaded apps.). @ santy001 LOL thats insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPompey Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 RAM and CPU its what you need to look at with a half decent graphics for the 3D match engine. If you wnat to really push the boat out then get a SSD (solid state drive) or two SSD's in RAID 0. Having 2 ssd's wont make any difference. Having one will if the game and the data is installed updated / saved there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anost Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I have an AMD x6 1090t, 8GB ram on Windows 7 64 bit and am still unable to run ALL the leagues without lag. I get damn close though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ka_Zaf Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 i just wana know whats the minimum specs required to get the best performance out of the game. not necessarily have to be a super gaming com as i'm not a hard-core gamer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicycle Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'm using a pretty powerful laptop and the game is really slow, which is pretty odd since I tried it out on my older laptop and it runs faster on that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

celebritykiller Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've never had problems (the odd crash aside) loading all the leagues or players, but never played that many seasons. A better question would be what is your recommended player count (75k here) and what are your PC specs? Furthermore what is the highest possible recommended player count (think I've seen 125k about but can't remember)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpless Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've got about £400 possibly to buy a new lap top and would like to be able to play FM on it. Only play on desktop at moment. Was looking at this http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-g62-b12sa-red-laptop-07671832-pdt.html How well would it run? Could anyone recommend a laptop within my price range?

Ishu Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 that's what i would like to know.what specs is required for loading all data in FM?

AussieDave Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Would there be a significant difference if switching from a regular (new though) HD to a SSD? I only have a 1TB regular HD at the moment but may buy a new SSD and only install games on it that use it significantly. I have an i7 950 running at 4 GHz and 6 gig of ram so I'm already looking pretty good with the speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
