Dovydas Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Why are intergrated graphic cards terrible ? Would it be fine to play fm with intergrated graphic card ? if not, why ? Non integrated card has its own processors and video memory. Integrated card will use your main CPU and take RAM from your system for all video rendering tasks, which will obviously slow down your laptop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-zolla Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hi all, So whilst this is not a clear cut test (i am using fm13 and fm14) , thought this might help, Using fm 13 on my old laptop (acer aspire 5535) it took: England, Italy, Spain - all leagues, Large database: took 00:07:12 to load and 00:03:29 to go on holiday for 1 week. England, spain, italy, germany, france, holland, ukraine, brazil, argentina, belgium - All leagues - Large DB - took 00:17:50 to load and 00:12:56 to go on holiday for 1 week. New laptop (MSI CX61 - link above) England, Italy, Spain - all leagues, Large database: took 00:01:56 to load and 00:00:37 to go on holiday for 1 week. England, spain, italy, germany, france, holland, ukraine, brazil, argentina, belgium - All leagues - Large DB - took 00:04:09 to load and 00:01:44 to go on holiday for 1 week. so whilst not overly scientific... Hopefully it will help somebody! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minimum requirements for the game are: PC System Requirements OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 Processor: Intel Pentium 4 Intel Core AMD Athlon XP: 1.6GHz+ V/7/8: 2.2GHz+ Memory: 1 GB RAM Graphics: NVidia GeForce FX 5900 Ultra ATI Radeon 9800 Intel GMA X3100 128MB VRAM DirectX: Version 9.0c Network: Broadband Internet connection Hard Drive: 3 GB available space Any laptop with at least these specs will be able to play the game. Obviously the better the computer is the better the game will run. Better CPU and RAM in particular will help the game run more smoothly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter G Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Looks like I'll need a new laptop after my Charger burnt out and nearly set my bed on fire last night.

sadbearhandbook Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 At the moment I've got an HP Pavilion G6 1.8 GHz AMD Dual-Core E2-3000M APU with Radeon HD 6380G Discreet-Class Graphics Chipset AMD A60M Microprocessor Cache 1 MB L2 cache Memory 8 GB DDR3 Memory Max Supports up to 8 GB DDR3 (2 user accessible) Video Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6380G Discrete-Class (up to 3.98 GB total memory) On FM13 I had 5 nations loaded, large database, around 45,000 players. I didn't really have any problems with it. It wasn't superfast, but I never play more than 10 seasons per save, usually around 6/7, so it was fine for me. However, I've been thinking about getting this: http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/ACER-E1-571-NX.M09EK.032_1431695.html Processor Intel® Core™ i5-3230M Dual Core (2.6GHz, Intel Ivy Bridge Architecture, 3MB Cache, Intel Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz) Screen 15.6" (1366 x 768 HD Resolution) Operating System Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit RAM 6GB (DDR3) Hard Drive 750GB Optical Drive DVD Rewriter (Records DVDs 8x & CDs 24x & Dual Layer Super Multi) Graphics Integrated (Intel HD Graphics) Would the difference in day processing speed significantly better with this? I wouldn't want to load any more nations, so the database would be the same size and I don't really care about match graphics. I only really want to get this if it would process days in a couple of seconds, as I don't mind the speed with my old one too much. So do you think the Acer would be a lot better?

Blanchflower1 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yes, I finally bought a new gaming laptop after 4 years! It is a Singapore costume made Aftershock laptop meant for intense gaming. The website is here: https://www.aftershockpc.com/. This is the specification of my new laptop! It is a beast! Windows 8.1 64-bit Processor i7 4900MQ 32 GB of RAM Graphics card 780M GTX A total of 2 TB of HD in RAID 0 configuration It cost me Singapore $4,160! OK, before you guys say that it is a waste of money, I am using my laptop for other graphically intense games like Crysis 3, Battlefield 4, Metro and last but not least, FM 2014! I plan to play all the leagues in the game with a huge database! I only wonder whether in this settings, it would run FM 2014 smoothly and fast like a lightning!

danthemanwhocan Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Good Afternoon! So I am requesting some guidance here chaps and chepesses. My Laptop which I have had for about 5 years is starting to over heat. Whilst playing the beta, it would randomly shut it self down. So I am assuming its time to put this dear friend down to rest. So with that in mind does anybody have recommendations on a good Laptop to purchase that is less than $900.00. The cheaper the better. I really only use my laptop to play FM and browse the web and listen to music and sometimes Netflix. I would prefer the laptop to run multiple leagues at once with a large database. Hoping that others have had to purchase a new laptop/pc recently so any nudge in the right direction would be appreciated. I am a complete ditz when it comes to PC and specs and all that jargon. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
