Ryank11 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Price range is 600-700 euro i like to play with large database and majority of European leagues playable along with Brazil Argentina Mexico USA China I no price range might not be enough but what would be the best I could do laptop wise. No interest in graphics as I play with 2 d classic. Will only use for mainly fm, and occasionally watch Netflix or stream matches of sky go if that helps.

yj2507 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Hi @Smurf and @JordanMillward_1 I'm looking for the best laptop that I can get for under £800. Looking to use it for FM, some work and netflix. https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16R112-254-MSI-GF63-8RD-254UK_2410405.html https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/30026124-Medion-Erazer-P6705_2614018.html I have found these two laptops which are around my price range. Will the geoforce gtx 1050ti be good enough to run FM19? Also if you can find something better (if they are good) for a similar price can you please try? I am based in London if that helps. I am looking to upgrade the ram to 16gb later on as I would like to keep the laptop in that £700-800 range. The battery life states on the P6705 laptop that it lasts for up to 5-6 hours is that the bare minimum usage or would it last for that long playing FM for example? Thanks for any help.

Whereas they are fine and no problem whatsoever - the below is ok and a bit better too - it has a slightly better graphics card. https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/30026173-Medion-Erazer-X6807_2644700.html However, I think either of the ones you selected will be just fine for FM - the graphics card will be fine. The difference being the processor is 1060 in the one I have linked, it's just a step up, but the processor is not as good as the one you have linked.

Eventually the battery life will reduce after a larger number of full discharge / recharge cycles - around 500 subject to specific manufacturer Personally I always have my PCs and laptops specifically configured to what I want using PC Specialist who build the machines based on your specific selection of components. I'm on my 4th PC from them. Often the options in many high street shops and internet retailers can be restrictive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to say what processor would be better without knowing your budget - we could say the i7-8750H or i5-8300H, as they're great Intel processors (and Intel processors tend to be better with single-core speeds, which is important for FM), but if your budget is only €400, you won't be getting a laptop with a processor that good, because you'd be looking at a minimum of €600 or so for a laptop with a higher quality processor.

Make sure the base speed is at least 2.2ghz - for example the the i5 8500T is high up on the list, but the base speed is 2100 (or 2.1ghz). Check against both links for cross reference.

The one you recommend has 16GB ram, the one i'm thinking about 20gb ram . Does the RAM makes no difference at all (for FM) ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the RAM makes no difference at all (for FM) ? 8gb would be the minimum - 16gb would be plenty for anyone. 20gb is more - but how much of an impact would it have? Not much I would say. They main thing here is the processor - you are getting a much better processor; and secondly, a much better graphics card. You can always add more RAM later on down the road - but there is absolutely no way you can upgrade the processor or the graphics card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBKalle Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Would a workstation with two 6-core Intel xeon 56xx be good value for money? Or won't FM be able to get the best out of it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The higher on these lists the better for fm https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmark-List.2436.0.html https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html Multicore doesnt always mean best for fm.

Ramsey717 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hi there! I’m looking to buy a new laptop purely to run FM20 on. Want it to run smoothly and able to handle the matches on 3D. Would only want to run about 6-7 leagues in one save. My price range is between £500 and £1000 but it if I could get something around £800 to the job I would be happy! https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/NH.Q3MEK.001-Acer-Nitro-5-AN515-52-50TL_2424519.html this is the one I’ve been looking at currently, any other suggestions would be great!
