Bigpole Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I wanted to post overclocked cpu scores but AMD wraith stealth cooler is crap when I test @3.9 in occt. And because of quarantine I don't really wanna risk going out and buying a new one. So probably I'll only try to hit 3600Mhz CL16/14 with ram and see if that makes any noticeable difference.

I didn't expect 4.0 on stock but these temps on 3.9 are worrying sometimes (in games like poe or racing games I had 80-85 max, but on benchmarks it was spiking to 100).

On my 2600x I found that adding a 240mm AIO did not help me overclock any further than 3.9.

BMNJohn Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) I'm not too impressed in how FM uses my processing power. That being said I don't know anything about software and coding, so a genuine question would be to ask to the devs: considering the frequency ship has sailed for CPUs in favour of higher core/thread count even in laptops/notebooks, how SI could potentially adapt their software towards this new paradigm? How do the devs see the way FM processes evolve moving forward? Anyway... Ryzen 5 3600 (non-X), 16GB 3600MHz CL16 RAM overclocked, RTX 2060 Super. Bench A: 01:12.70; Bench B: 07:45.72; Bench C: 07:00.37. I should probably ask Afterburner to do some performance logs someday. Or maybe try out OCAT.

Oh no, it's a snapshot of FM in general with a few dozen leagues in Basic detail. But if you want logs for Benchmark C, I can produce that in a very non-legible way. It's better spread out while still concentrated on the same 4 threads as before, but I suppose that ideally you wouldn't need to be on full-details to have FM spread the load more evenly. It's not that you cannot find a way to have FM to scale; but that maybe in an ideal world, FM would spread the usage over multiple cores and threads regardless of the level of detail, so that it's an useful behaviour in more situations than benchmarking at full detail.

Brother Ben Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Really interesting stuff there John, you're correct of course and in fairness they have made massive improvements in this area. Don't forget it wasn't long ago that FM was a 32 bit app, the difference from then to now is night and day. Hopefully some SI bods can give a bit of context to what we see on your charts and maybe give us an idea of where multi thread/core support is headed. I know @EdL has been kind enough to post on this thread so maybe he'll be able to shed some light on it or know someone who will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintrainhard Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 To encourage more people to involved, this must be from developer. SI should develop 1 click benchmark inside the game, the concept itself like CPU benchmarking, then give summary / result score for every PC user involved And if the user is online, they can compare their machine with all machine data gathered based on benchmark result gathered from this feature. Furthermore, SI can give suggestion what to improve from your machine to get more convenience in playing FM, this can be source of income if SI collaborate with pc part provider and get commission fee from their recommendation 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea's or suggestions to improve speed without upgrading my PC ? Run less fully-loaded leagues, and run the remaining ones with a lower level of detail. To be honest, if we had a setting or a mod that improved how FM run for everyone without taking anything away from the experience, we'd sticky that because that would be useful to everyone. But there isn't. That being said, if you have a 2600K and not a 2600 as well as a compatible motherboard, those CPUs had a tendency to overclock really well. If it's a 2600 without a K at the end, well you're stuck with what you've got. Edited May 3, 2020 by BMNJohn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea's or suggestions to improve speed without upgrading my PC ? I wouldn't worry too much, the PC's tested here tend to be top end ones, your scores are very respectable considering the age of the hardware. This is why I put Benchmark A in, it shows in a typical setup that you aren't that far away in terms of performance. The reality is that to get better performance you need to run less Nations/Leagues, its all relative though, if you're the kind of person who only plays a couple of seasons then you can get away with more running. If you play for 20+ then it'll need to be less as the game gets slower the longer you play As @BMNJohn has said above, a good trick is to lower the detail, shown below.

Wizard of Oz Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Thanks both - yeah I tend to play with just the main European leagues plus UK & Ireland and I still get OK speeds to be honest. I find anything up to around 75k player count still runs fine, even into the future. From a detail perspective i Just run the major international tournaments plus the division I'm in and that nations cup competitions ion full. That gives me enough depth to feel immersed and it dosen't seem to run too slow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played FM since 2006 and never noticed detail levels It's just more realistic but at a heavy cost on your processor, it will process matches properly. With full detail turned off it will process based on reputation etc iirc You may find the feature useful though by actually being able to turn off detail level for any leagues you aren't managing in to speed things up, putting all other leagues to minimum is pretty much the first thing I do when starting a new save Overall full detail is only really good for delving into stats in leagues you aren't in, for example if you scout a player in a league on full detail then I would imagine his average rating will be a more realistic reflection of his ability than a league using the quick match engine Edited May 15, 2020 by Brother Ben 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Ben Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks @XaW thats quite a laptop you have there. I assume you can run the maximum graphics setting. Thinking of adding FM 3D graphics capability to the spreadsheet for FM21 Benchmarking With that in mind is there anything that anyone would like added to next seasons version or any changes you'd like in the tests. I'm tempted to keep it the same to provide a direct comparison with this year although obviously it's pretty hard to create the exact conditions The type of things I was thinking about are a test 10 years into the future to ascertain the performance degradation over long term saves an uber simple test with a small database and just one league running to prove that FM will literally run on anything Obviously though it's a balancing act as I don't want to put people off with too many tests Thoughts?

Also, I noticed it doesn't utilize the processor fully, maybe 50% only, which it could be my cpu throttling.

Thanks for doing the test, actually despite being old your processor is pretty good and should be performing much better, in fact a lot better. Based on other results here you should be getting under 2 minutes for benchmark A My guess is that you are correct and it is throttling because of overheating due to excessive dust or maybe even a faulty cooling fan. Might be worth opening it up and cleaning it out, there's a how to video here. I usually open mine up once a year for a thorough clean.

Might be worth opening it up and cleaning it out, there's a how to video here. I usually open mine up once a year for a thorough clean. At the very least you may get a few quid for it on ebay Dust may be a factor, I launched MacOS and installed the game, a fresh install, I did the benchmarks and it was a big big difference, Benchmark 1: 1:41 Benchmark 2: 12:39 Benchmark 4: 15:18 So I suspect it is more related to drivers issue, maybe Apple didn't care to optimize the fans behaviour to be very efficient on windows 10, as I tried many times to check if there is any updates for it, but it doesn't matter now as I am changing to one with much better gpu performance.

That’s a lot better, performs exactly how I would expect that processor to. Whats the specs on your new model? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlWakRa Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I got Asus zephyrus m15 with i7-10750h, 16gb 3200mhz ram, 1tb ssd, rtx2060, but with 4k panel for color accuracy as I work on photo editing a lot, should perform very similar to the one here with 9750h, wanted to get a ryzen 4000 based laptop but nothing with good screen panel.

Yeah I would expect similar although it's turbo speed is significantly better, so if it can maintain that speed with decent cooling then it may surprise you and get closer to the i9-9980HK's Look forward to your results 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
