Baggio64 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hi - recently returned to FM but having issues with the game on my 2016 vintage Dell laptop. Anything other than a single league & small database gives a performance indication of half a star. Is the CPU likely to be the problem : Intel Core i5-7200U 2.5 GHz RAM 8 Mb Intel HD graphics 620 I don’t want to spend on a better laptop if another issue might be the problem. If it is the hardware could you recommend a Dell laptop up to £500 ish? Playing FM will be the only real activity apart from general surfing, Excel etc. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to assume you meant 8GB RAM rather than 8MB! In terms of your requirements, if you only want to look at Dell laptops, then the best you're going to find under £500 looks like this: https://www.box.co.uk/2V448-Dell-Vostro-15-3515-Ryzen-5-8GB-RAM-256G_4103172.html If you're happy to look at things other than a Dell, you can something like this which offers better performance for the money than anything Dell is currently offering: https://www.box.co.uk/82LN00DJUK-Lenovo-ideaPad-5-AMD-Ryzen-5-8GB-RAM-256_3746804.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistermanager Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Which will run the game better M2 air (8 - 10 core) with 24gb ram or MacBook m1 pro (8 - 14 core) 16gb ram? I need to buy a new laptop, needs to be a Mac. What setup will run the game best? £2,000ish budget, play strategy games like Civ but no AAA games.

It would no doubt be marginal Extra RAM would make zero difference and i'm betting unless you manually added detail to leagues you aren't playing in then the extra cores would make zero difference either.

ButtnersBigToe Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 My current laptop can do up to fm19, but it's quite slow (1-2 mins to progress) I feel like fm20 was the start of the new era so in dire need of an upgrade.. I've budgeted 3-500 (prefer not to be too close to the top end as it'll be used exclusively for fm but I also want it to last a while) I've looked through the recommendations already on here but with prime day starting today I was hoping I might be able to pick up a bargain. I only ever run maybe max 4/5 leagues as I normally try focusing on developing my own players rather than signing all the wonder kids.

The Ryzen 7 scores more highly overall in terms of CPU, but the i5 does have twice the RAM and twice the storage. Both are very well priced, so I don't think you'd go wrong choosing either of these.

Personally, I do think FM22 is a decent improvement over FM20 for the most part, Whether it's worth it for you I can't really comment on. If you're still enjoying your FM20 save then perhaps think about waiting for FM23 as that's only gonna be around 3 months away, based on past version release dates.

Would this laptop be good enough for FM? Is there processor recommend for FM/Gaming end in a H? https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/p/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-5-series/legion-5-17-amd/82jy009fus Yes, that's more than good enough but you can get better value for money. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/gigabyte-aorus-15-6-ips-gaming-laptop-intel-i7-12700h-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-512gb-ssd/6499110.p?skuId=6499110 This one above has a stronger CPU paired with the same graphics card for considerably less than the one you were looking at. The main difference is it's a 15.6" screen rather than a 17". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen123 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) So my laptop literally shut down trying to load up a new game of FM22 Strange as i paid like €800 and only got it 4 years ago. So I'm looking for a laptop to play FM22 and general browsing, able to flick between FM22 and chrome/youtube preferably. Maybe one or two other random games but not too fussed. Would probably only look at loading the main leagues so game can run as fast as possible. I was looking myself but kinda overwhelmed by everything so was looking for recommendations around the €1,000 to €1,300 mark based in Ireland Any advice is greatly appreciated keep up the good work Edited July 18, 2022 by stephen123 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phd_angel Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I'd appreciate suggestions for a new gamer laptop - using Intel and GeForce (by popular builts such as ASUS, Alienware or RoG) that I can excellently play FM23 onwards. I'm in the US. Amazon, Best Buy and CostCo are popular online stores but am open to other ones. My budget is flexible (between 1k and 2k dollars). Thanks for your advice.

I forgot to mention: I like 17 inch screens (my bad, sorry). Also, you recommended a Geforce rtx 3060, whereas there is 3070 ti and even 3080 out in the market. Should I go for these new graphic cards, thinking about future FM editions? Any better recommendations on 17 inch screen, even if the price is closer to 2,000 US dollars. Thanks.

Assuming FM stays on anything like the same trajectory it has, I can't see the 3070ti or above being necessary - even the 3060 is complete overkill in FM terms at this point. I have the 1660 Super in my PC and it doesn't even break a sweat with FM at the highest graphics settings.
