Carl_272 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Intel Core i7 Processor 740QM (1.73 Ghz, 6MB, 4C), 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 435M Graphics Card. What are we looking at here in terms of number of leagues, database size and processing speed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders4 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I'd be interested to know too as I'm looking at getting a laptop for xmas so I can play my saved game on pc via steam out and about...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishu Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Around 40 leagues?? More or less on your patience. 3D on high. DB size hardly make a difference Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_272 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 40? That's quite decent! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders4 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 yeah especially for a laptop. Ive never used a laptop for fm but i guess it'll be pretty quick on the OP spec. Does anyone see a difference between playing on pc and playing on laptop? ie is it worth buying a laptop to play fm whilst 'roaming'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_272 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 I've decided to order this one tonight, thanks for your input gents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youd probably pay a lot less for a desk top with those specs I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders4 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Carl_272, where are you ordering yours from? best ive seen so far being on Dell website but pretty expensive too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser_Tottenham Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Video Card would be Good fo 3D. but whatever prossesser you've, FM had a lot of data and the more you increase leagues, your game would increase in size and it would make your game very annoying ( slow ) after 1-4 seasons, so i advice you to add 30-40 or even 50 league but don't pick all leagues for such countries like Brazil, Sweden, France, Spain, Turkey etc.. as there are a load of leagues/groups/competitions, and would make the game data very large. so depends in your priorities in the game, it wouldn't be wise to include Swedeen 4th if you would start in lowest point in Brazil or England etc.. I'll try to be helpful for you as much as i can, i used to pick a lot of leagues/challanges in the past, and sadly decided to stop playing some of them after some great seasons due to this issue, wish it wouldn't happen for you.

Ishu Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Yeah you can get a desktop 1.5 to 2x as powerful as this laptop for the same price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishu Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 @ spurs Q8 It hardly matters which league you select. And loading lower leagues is what make a career game more fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert the Spud Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 It's an i7 processor with 4gb ram, it'll run 40 leagues fine for god's sake. I have a quad core 2ghz proccessor and 3gb ram, and i run about 35 leagues/large database pretty well. Theres no point skimping on leagues imo.

JBoyd33641 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I thought I read somewhere that FM is programmed only to utilize 1 processor on laptops. Is this true? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishu Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Quite the opposite. I have seen FM using 8 cores at once on matchdays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser_Tottenham Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 @ spurs Q8It hardly matters which league you select. And loading lower leagues is what make a career game more fun. yes i know, but i meant there are such countries like Brazil, had a load of groups in 3rd tier, so Brazil 3rd tier alone could equal around 2 divisions from countires like Argantina, Austuria, Belguim, Bulgaria, Denmark, Czeck, Finland, Holland, Greece, Ireland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Swiss, Russia, Ukraine . so added to that France 4th tier, Sweeden 4th tier, this would make the game very slow. secailly there are such countries like Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Italy had some divisions with around 3-4 groups in 4th tier with 14-20 teams, this would provide extra fixtures, players etc.. to the game, and within 2-4 season, the game wouldn't be good to continue.

Carl_272 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Yeah you can get a desktop 1.5 to 2x as powerful as this laptop for the same price. I already have a desktop, It's a real pain to carry around with me though, what with not having a battery and everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess you can buy this laptop, setup FM via STEAM. Use a Online FIle Syncing software and you can play the save on both PCs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will go and look again to see exactly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser_Tottenham Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 even thought 15'+ screens are better for games, but i recommend you Sony 14' or Toshiba/Aesus 13.3' screen .. these are better as travel-mates and quality for users, and you can get core i5, ram 4 G.B, Vidoe card 512 or 1064 MB dedicated these days .. i've used to buy a lot of lap-tops recently, and i learnt a lot from using it, and it's safe to say that Nivdia better than ATI ..
