MerseyReds Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 @Smurf Hey mate. Just been reading through this thread and I have to say your contribution along with others is astounding. Much appreciated. I looked at the following laptops and would like advice on which to opt for that would be good for the next version of football manager. I'm ideally looking for a laptop that can run the 3d match engine very smoothly, run a large database and a couple of countries without running slow.

Domnoble7 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hello everyone I have done abit of reading on a new laptop as I currently have a i3 5th gen which is obviously going slow now. I have a budget of about £600 max. I understand that processors that are underclocked are not good for FM but is this the case with 8th gen i5s for example or just older gens? Would it be worth getting a processor such as the i5-8300h instead? Not sure if the 1.6ghz standard on the U processor would be an issue. Dont play on 3d graphics but understand a dedicated graphics card is better, so happy to get one but just a entry level nothing too mad. i will always get at least 8gb of ram. Also, does anyone remember getting a laptop last black friday and wether any of the gaming laptops of about £800 reduced by a couple hundred? Thanks any help is apperciated.

I tend to play with a large database with probably about 10 leagues normally although I do use Dan's English Lower League database sometimes. Ideally I'd like to use 3D graphics as well but that's not set in stone. I have about £1000 roughly at the minute as a budget but that budget can be flexible I’d also love to know about this as very keen on the base model of the new surface https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/surface-laptop-3/8VFGGH1R94TM/34SW?activetab=techspecs wonder if @Smurf can help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sc0ttzilla Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Are there any decentish laptops around £300 that will run fm 2020? I don't need all the leagues - just the main big ones (England, Germany, France, Italy, Spain) and I'm not worried about it being super quick - just needs to be smooth and not feel laggy in 2d mode I've had laptops in past that have really struggled with the switch in engine from fm18.

Im not looking for an ultra quick machine that is going to blast through seasons, but I do want one that will run in 3d. Im looking for a 1st pc for a 9 year old and need a dedicated graphics card (I think), to run the game in 3d. I'm not overly concerned with speed, just so long as it works, but would like some general advice. As it's only for a 9 year old I want it as cheap as possible, but at the same time it needs to be able to run FM20 in 3d, (because I think he's old enough to give FMT a go now). At the same time I dont know what I need and what I dont need so I want to make sure that what I buy does the job, but at the same time I want it to be cheap because he's only 9! Suggestions and ideas would be appreciated. I'm looking for a desktop rather than a laptop or something else. That's about it really. Help please. 🤔😁 Budget would really help here - cheap for me might be expensive for someone else. As he's 9 he will probably want to play other games - and you will also need to purchase a Monitor.

bgs4 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I currently have a Lenovo G50 and it can't seem to cope with FM at all and is even really slow on FM touch. Ideally I'd spend around £350-400. I only play one nation but like a large database if possible. I always play text commentary so not worried about graphics.

Both 15inch screens Both 8gb RAM Both GTX 1050 graphics card Only slight upgrade is in processor and it's not even worth mentioning - you're paying an extra £50 for a small boost that is barely noticeable.

The ryzen has a slower clock base speed. It has more cores/threads but that has been repeatedly downplayed for FM - as a lot of the game is still handled in the single thread. Ok FM will and does create as many threads and uses as many cores are as available. In the single core performance rating Ryzen 5 3600 2912 i3 9350K 2638 The difference isn't huge and I'd prefer the base speed over more cores for FM.
