obongwati Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Recently upgraded from a desktop i5 6500, GTX 960 to a laptop Ultra 7 155h Arc Graphics and I have to say the difference is out of this world.

I'm sure people would be interested in any issues you're having with the Intel graphics which are known to be a bit hit and miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should fit in well for games like FM if their price is sensible. But they'll never be as good as a dedicated graphics card so if you play more tasking games they should be avoided imo. The certainly is a gap for them as the market being driven by games doesn't help this market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ultra 7 155H has better multi-threading performance, better graphics, and is more power-efficient. It also has advanced features like AI acceleration and modern connectivity options.

Well yes and that would be the way to go to produce real power but it'll be just as or if not more expensive than what it's replacing. Which is a two card system but just one does 3D and the other is for general apps. The thing I was say is, with luck, these will reduce the cost, esp for FM players and most current dedicated cards are overkill. So perhaps no need to buy a laptop with a dedicated card if you only want one to play FM and use as your general purpose PC. Should make them lighter too.

It's just Intel deciding to enter the market now to try to rival Nvidia and AMD. They actually seem to be very well priced, and the 2nd generation cards seem to have ironed out a lot of the issues the 1st gen cards had, based on things I've read.

Most laptops with dedicated GPUs are gaming laptops and it's likely that FM25 will benefit from if not require a dedicated GPU. However, the next gen of AMD laptop processors are expected to get upgraded integrated GPUs which could well be more competitive. It might therefore be worth waiting until laptops using them are released later this year. By that time we should also know the required specifications for FM25 so you can buy with more certainty. If you do need to buy sooner, I would be inclined to follow @kevhamster's advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

obongwati Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Bought the Acer Swift Go 14. 2.8K OLED, Ultra 7 155h Intel Arc Graphics 16GB ram few weeks ago. So here are my reviews: - Ultra 7 155h is certainly fast, holidayed a season in around 20-25 min with 7 leagues loaded, but just in general pressing the space button is almost instant response. - Graphics on the Ultra 7 is disappointing. Don't get me wrong its fast, but the there's noticeable stutter and the fan noise and thermal gets warm (and hot). Perhaps it is a hardware issues, I've updated the drivers and laptop and its still not as smooth as the reviews i've seen in Youtube. - So I've been playing on 2D if its a warm temperature, on a cold or Aircon room I would switch to director views. - Roughly 2 to 2.5 hours of FM until battery reaches <5% - OLED is gorgeous, certainly makes the experience worthwhile -14" is perhaps not optimal for FM, I think opting a 16" would be more optimal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 50 leagues loaded, 60,000 players and although I don't holiday full seasons I sometimes do about half a season in 15-30 mins (guessing).

It's definitely overkill for FM24's specs - you could have a cheaper graphics card with no hit to performance. We don't have specs for FM25 yet, but I suspect the same would apply. Here's another option. Nearly £400 less and I suspect performance wouldn't be massively different between the two for FM: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/intel-home-office-pc-V/AXnpb!!tmj/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoleman1 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Hello everyone, Would appreciate some opinions on this one: https://www.very.co.uk/asus-zenbook-15-oled-laptop-156in-28k-amd-ryzen-7-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd-um3504da-nx015w-blue/1600910827.prd I would use it for basic tasks, watching films/TV shows occasionally but really it's going to be purely for FM. I'm happy to take other recommendations but my budget is ideally under £800. I'm quite keen to buy through very to take advantage of the 20% credit purchase as well to bring the price down (also have an extra 10% at the moment). Thanks in advance!
