Still, the i7 should help to progress the game faster outside of matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mskvao Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) hello! sorry for the mistakes, I write with help of a translator. I want to buy a laptop only for FM. It is important for me that the gaming process will go quickly with a large number of loaded leagues. Accordingly, there is a question 1. If I play only 2D, does the choice of videocard matter? Will geforce rtx 3060 be suitable in this case? Now I'm thinking abot ASUS tuf gaming f15 Intel Core i7 12650H 3.5 ГГц, RAM 16 ГБ, DDR5, SSD 1 ТБ, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060. what do you thing about it?

Kelvin782 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Need some advice from the experts - is this laptop any good for FM23 please?I play in 2D - so the graphics capabilities don't need to be fantastic.

FM25 on the other hand will see increased system specs and I can't say hand on heart this will be good enough at that point when it comes to the graphics. I'd suggest going for something with a dedicated graphics card, such as this: https://www.currys.co.uk/products/lenovo-ideapad-gaming-3-15.6-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-rtx-3050-512-gb-ssd-10249077.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, some context, this laptop was replacing a unit with a 6th Gen i5 core 200U with4GB RAM and a Intel HD graphics 520 so it would be difficult not to see improvements! It takes about 50 secs for the game to open. My Game set up is England, all playable down to Level 11, and Wales, down to JD Cymru N/S, represent 13 leagues but effectively is 104 divisions with a medium player database. The estimated game speed is showing 5* and set up took less than 4 mins 30 secs to load. I play in 3D and graphics are far superior to what I am used to. The service from seller was very good.

ManOnAMission Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Budget is around £700, willing to go a little bit over if it's worth it. Found the below - I'm not very techy - is this the best choice within my budget? Main concern is that I know FM25 is going to require better specs and I want it to last 5+ years if possible. Don't play any other games and main other use would be social media and watching YouTube and Netflix. https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/asus-tuf-gaming-f15-intel-core-i5-11400h-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd-nvidia-rtx-3050-fx506hc-hn057w/version.asp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have no personal preference for one over the other. It was just the best value within my own budget at the time. Sometimes Intel will be the better option, sometimes it'll be AMD.

However this one is very close in terms of CPU power and has more RAM so I'd be inclined to get this one: https://www.box.co.uk/82S900Y6UK-Lenovo-IdeaPad-Gaming-3-Intel-Core-i5-16_4378169.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al675 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Hi there. Old laptop has had its day and looking to upgrade. Looking for laptop than run FM 23 very well and meet the graphics changes in the next year but also I would like a good display as I use my laptop to watch all my TV shows/Movies/watch football. So it doesn’t necessarily have to be a gaming laptop, creator laptop with good display is under consideration. I only play FM. Budget is flexible and willing to consider all suggestions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
