talhak Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hey everyone, I'd like to ask what is the maximum graphics detail level (without any lags on 3D match view) for FM20 on MacBook Pro 13" and 16" (e.g. AMD Radeon Pro 5300M)?

The AMD Radeon Pro 5300m gives similar performance to the Nvidia GTX 1650. Which both should be able to play 3D matches on mid-high level graphics. They both fall in the mid-range category - which is more than enough for FM. Of course, each user experience will differ and adjust the settings to your likings or with as much/little lag as you see fit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would likely run FM21 assuming the requirements are similar, and will have no issue displaying in 2D, but you may possibly find the processing to be a little on the slower side with that many nations.

vivaricardo Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Hi, Hoping for some help with buying a new laptop FM is the only game I’ll ever buy. Other than that will just be internet browsing. So not looking for a gaming laptop and nothing too heavy, but I'd want a min 14 or 15" display. My budget is £500, could possibly stretch to ones priced £600 as certain brands/retailers have student discount. On FM20 I ran 4-5 nations with large database (3D match engine) and would like to do similar for FM21 & beyond or with a couple more nations running. My current laptop is 6 years old so has struggled with this on FM20 as I built up a long save during lockdown. Any recommendations for what specs I would need or a particular laptop they'd recommend? From what I've seen so far then an integrated graphics card should be fine, as would 8GB RAM as I can't see any 16GB in my budget where I've looked so far. But when it comes to Processer/Hard Drive I'm a bit overwhelmed. Thanks in advance! Edited October 12, 2020 by vivaricardo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Time Legend Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi there, I have the Lenovo V110-15AST, I got this a bit cheaper a couple of years ago and it’s been pretty slow pretty much since I bought it so I stumbled across this thread to see about getting a new one. However based on its specs (https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.awd-it.co.uk/amp/lenovo-v110-15ast-15.6-amd-a9-9410-8gb-ddr4-256gb-ssd-windows-10-laptop.html) It appears to be a good laptop, 8GB RAM, AMD-A9-9420 RADEON R5 processor. I generally want to run about 10 leagues (usually all bar 2 are read only) and it runs incredibly slow and gets even slower as the game goes on. Can anyone explain why this laptop isn’t performing? I did buy it for circa £350 IIRC in fairness. Looking to replace it for circa £600-700, any recommendations would be great but would need to be on significantly better than this one.

Hi smurf, Fm runs very slowly on this laptop.i have rebooted so my laptop only has fm on it and no facepacks etc and still no luck. I have booked in with a shop near me to give my laptop a health check and potentially add some more ram. It has 2 slots, I'm thinking 2 16gb slots. Do you think that sounds a good idea? Hard to know. It's a decent enough processor - however it is 4 generations behind we are on generation 10 now. But still should be ok. Adding more RAM probably won't be beneficial. You should be getting better performance. How many leagues/divisions/players do you load? 18 hours ago, ChrisBuxton said: @Smurf Hi Smurf, I've narrowed these down to the £700 HP (https://www.box.co.uk/1L6F6EAABU-HP-Pavilion-Gaming-15-ec1007na_2958258.html) based on the CPU, graphics card and seemingly reasonable price. I can stretch my budget to £800-850 if there would be any tangible benefit to doing so, however the laptops I can find for this price appear to be either equal or inferior to the HP. Am I missing something in relation to the HP and are there any laptops priced at c.£800 which would be a better option? 15 hours ago, Smurf said: thats fine. there would be of course a better computer at a higher price point. Looked at this again - and don't see any reason to increase your budget - you'll get much the same. You can upgrade the RAM at a later point. It's fine the way it is though. 14 hours ago, Nozzer said: Hi, looking for a new desktop pc for upto 1k -1.2k ish.

Wondering if an i-7 processor such as this one will have enough juice for the new game and most likely FM22; https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/dell-xps-13-9300-13-4-laptop-intel-core-i7-512-gb-ssd-silver-10204665-pdt.html I seen there are “10th Generation” processors but they drive up the price dramatically and are way outside my budget. Looking at that laptop is it likely to have enough juice for next years game too? I wouldn't go for that one @Deansy85 That laptop is not designed for processing, but more around portability. The process has a base speed of 1.3ghz well below the 2.2ghz required for FM. This would be better - but pricey https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-envy-15-ep0500na-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i7-512-gb-ssd-silver-10207070-pdt.html This is the best I can find in your price range https://www.box.co.uk/GA401IU-HE001T-ASUS-ROG-Zephyrus-G14-GA401IU-HE001T-(No_2860291.html Or if you wanted to save some money - this would be excellent also https://www.box.co.uk/1L6F7EAABU-HP-Pavilion-Gaming-15-ec1009na_2958259.html 1 hour ago, jtaddy said: Looking for a laptop around £600-£700 that will be able run smoothly with large database, 6-9 nations uploaded.
