I get between 48-56 fps on high settings. Not enough to match the refresh rate of the screen so its not smooth but doesn't bother me. That CPU is showing its age but can still do a job as along as you don't load too many leagues. Thanks guys. I went through the NVidia and windows settings to try and optimise everything where possible but it was still lagging on auto framerate. I dropped the framerate down to 25 however and it seems to be stable in game after playing through a few matches. I think the CPU is struggling to keep up with the graphics which is leading to the lag - I turned the NVidia fps counter on and could see it dropping all the way down to 10 or 11 when it wasn't locked and then it would struggle to catch back up. Playing at 25fps is fine for me if it's smooth and removes the lag so I think I'll stick with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTHerringbone Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Mr U Rosler said: Hi RT What is the fan noise like? Thanks When it gets going it really gets going and is pretty audible, but those have been rare occurrences that I can't really pin down to specific in-game events. It is not when a match is running in 3D so I assume it relates to specific processing spikes, however when I've had the AMD Performance Metrics running, it shows that the CPU utilisation is usually only at around 8%. It has a few profile options (Gaming, eSports, Power Saving and Standard). I'm just on Standard. The Power Saving mode reduces noise apparently. The fan has only kicked in about five times in almost 50 hours of FM22 Beta. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzbobification Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Hi all, Been reading with interest and thought I'd reach out for some help. I haven't played FM since 2016, but going to get back into it this year. Looking for a laptop, 15 inch, that would run the following reasonably quickly: Large database Around 8/9 playable leagues Graphics aren't a huge concern, as play in 2D, but would like to be able to watch 3D highlights even if low quality. Budget of up to £600, but would like to spend less if possible. Will only be used for simple browsing and word processing besides FM. Thanks!

Bill_Shankly Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I currently have a Lenovo Yoga 510. I don't know the spec if you would need that. Would this be able to run FM22?

dsouthy Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hi, i currently use a Windows 10 device with FM21 via Steam. If i purchase FM22 the same way can I use the same purchase if i bought a MacBook as my next upgrade? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinseyuk Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Is a graphic card only important for 3d match engine so if I use only 2d is graphics card pointless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
