RTWilcock Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi, Just wondering what graphic cards people are using? Because I am pretty sure my current one isn't going to hack it. And does anybody have a link for Directx 11? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yid Army Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 What is your current one? FM doesn't need much... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorsmen Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I use a Nvidia 8800gtx,and it runs the game fantastically. Can't help on the link though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTWilcock Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 I couldn't honestly tell you, my laptop has always just played it with no problems......I have no idea where to go in order to find out what my graphics card is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link I posted will scan your computer to tell you if it meets the min spec. If your laptop has always played it then FM10 should be fine though - it's the same spec as FM09.

nine_iron Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Only 2 or 3 popular games need DX11 atm, even 10 has only FSX and Crysis listed that are appealing. A good DX10 card will set anyone up for the next year of gaming or 2 even! Im not touching DX11 till: a. they are cheaper b. they actually are value for money clockspeed wise c. have games I like that run on them. The 4870/90 and X2 versions are the ones to buy currently and still will be for a good while. Look what games are DX10, if you dont have or dont want any then get a DX9 card, save a bundle and you can even have 2 if you MB can fit them. I got the 4870 as it was good value for money and provides a power increase over many DX9 cards, the current DX11 cards seem to be the same as the 10s in most aspects...

RTWilcock Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Yeah, This is what I thought. I have played every FM on this laptop since 05. I tried the system specs website and it said the processor wasn't strong enough, which makes sense I suppose. However, it said that for Football Manager 2009 aswell so i am not sure anymore. I think I will have a look at Nvidia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshirelad Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 If you can run FM09 you can run FM10 as long as you're not bothered about watching the matches or running lots of leagues. Download the demo and see if it works? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JockStein1967 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 i have a radeon (not sure which model) 128mb and it runs the game, so op should be cool if he has more than me. I'm thinking about a new PC with an i5, and a ATI HD5570or5770 1Gb card, 4Gb DDR3 RAM. Only PC game I play is FM but I do a load of other things with the home comp so I wanted a bit extra. Instead of Core2 duo Cant really afford to go to i7 at the mo as i have 3 kids that get cranky when the need food. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ioulianos Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hey everyone! I seem to have a big problem with the 3D game (unbelievably slow) and thought it might be my video card. I have an Intel 82945G. My processor is fine (3.4GHz) and so is my RAM (4GB). My system 3D rating is 0(!) evan though I have unchecked all the visual effects. Any ideas anyone? A.

Welshace Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 direct x11 = pointless , like has been said before hand.. and just get yourself a 128mb card and you'll be fine... although changing your mobi graphics card is going to be tricky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of Core2 duo Cant really afford to go to i7 at the mo as i have 3 kids that get cranky when the need food. I would suggest the i5, unless you really need the extra power, great value for money and more suitable for gaming. Unless you want to play Dirt 2 (the ONLY DX11 game that is popular at the moment) then I suggest getting two 4870s, you will get more "bang for your buck" as is said. Just make sure you look for a decent motherboard, a good one will pay back its value very quickly! The current DX11 cards just are not value for money, unless you rig is all about showing off I say avoid them. As for the RAM, 4 gigs is good, but I prefer tri channel, its the way forward IMO, 6 gig packs are a little more expensive but you will notice the difference between tri and dual. Also make sure the MB can support higher speed sticks (1800 and above) or you will find it going out of date pretty fast (unless you dont mind 12 gigs of slower ram in a few years). The only people who buy non DDR3 capable systems are those working to a tight budget... I play a lot of games, some need graphics, some need HD speed and others need processing power, so my rig reflects that My 3 fav games atm are: L4D2 FM10 FSX My rig is: i7 920 OC to above 3.0 6 gigs DDR3 1600 Liquid cooling HD4870 SSD (MLC) with OS and FSX on HDD with everything else I plan to upgrade to a second 4870 or get two 4890s in half a year, this will see me through until some decent DX11 games are out in about 2012 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine_iron Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I reccomend Scans 3XS, overclockers or any other site that lets you put together a rig online, My suggested setup is in the section above. The bit you commented on is my rig, I need the power for work and play, I suggested to you I would suggest the i5, unless you really need the extra power, great value for money and more suitable for gaming. Unless you want to play Dirt 2 (the ONLY DX11 game that is popular at the moment) then I suggest getting two 4870s, you will get more "bang for your buck" as is said.
