so they are still dropping out the demo this year? 

Didn´t know that. That will be helpful yeah. The cpu is the same of last year and i saw few changes on the min specs on that subject. It wasn´t as smooth as i would like but i know im not up to date so i could live with that. its the change of min spec with the ram that was mostly worrying me.

[FM20 Performance Benchmarking Thread]

Hi EdL,

 

I cant afford a new laptop, until next year that is, and im still running with an i5 Core 1.7 HP Pav with only 4g RAM. NVDIA dedicated gforce820m. Until last year it run well, played with the 3d graphs with no issues, between matches it wasnt that fast but was managable with medium database. With the upload of minimium from 2 to 4gb im worried it will ruin the experience if i buy it? What would you reckon? tx mate

hi guys i wonder if any of you can help me ou here.

ive been buying the game forever, since the CM years, but im afraid this new minimum specs will have me pass this year as i cant afford a new laptop right now.

i have an HP Pavilion with  an i5core 1.7ghz and 4 ram with around 300g free space. Graphics is decent, an NVIDIA GForce820 M and its still the old windows 8.1.

Last years game was not running that fast but it went well if i used a medium database and i dont know if the change for 4ram minimum will kill the experience for me and if its worth the buy. Latter in 2021 i would probably add more ram has the laptop can expand up to 16gs for what i saw but any of you have any idea or a similar experience with the beta with a laptop of 4g ram? Is it working fine for you or it´s just unplayable?

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Thanks mate, fingers crossed it is then ;-)!!!

Oh well, that was it then. So ill be stuck with it until i buy a new one it seems.

 

Do your reckon it will still be usable for this FM? (ive seen that the graphs rating and the lags area appearing as well in a lot of better pcs/graph cards so im crossing fingers it will be patched up for everyone and i will still be able to play a little bit this years version in this laptop!

 

Thank you very much for clarifying it for me @Smurf, really appreciated!

I'm having a similar issue but i know where the origin of the problem is and i can't seem to find a way to solve it.

 

I have an old laptop, from 2013, an i5 8GB 2.8 Ghz CPU (200 gigas free space) with a NVIDIA GForce820 M in an Windows 8 as a dedicated graphic card.

Until FM19 i was having no issues with lag/graphics, playing in a 4 stars and good rhythm of play despite large database and several leagues as "view only". But since i'm playing the Beta the 4 stars for graphs have downgraded to 1 star and i had to change de Very High/High standards to Medium/Low if i didn't wanted the game to crash.

 

The thing is, the last update the NVIDIA official setup control has in my pc predates from 2018, when they stop giving any kind of support for Windows 8.

Now when i go to the NVIDIA webpage to download the latest update available for this graph card(from April 19 it seems), the official Nvidia installer freezes at any attempt to install it and says my PC doesn't has clearance for it. So i'm stuck with a version of the 820M from a year ago and i simply can't seem to find a way to overcome this problem. I have the new patch to update downloaded but it´s impossible to install it in order to see if the game goes on with better graphs?

 

Does anyone here had a similar issue with WIndows 8 dedicated Nvidia graphics after 2018? Or does anyone knows how to get the graph updated in an alternative way?

 

In aware that the graph card isn't really good nowadays (6 years have passed now) and i have a must buy laptop list for next fall but i would really like to enjoy one last FM version in this laptop (the game is great btw) and i believe this technical issue is preventing it more than just being an old laptop.

 

Cheers mates
