FM 2011 Official System/Specs Thread

[Ishu]

740QM is a lot faster than 640M

[Roman Chevalier]

I'm buying a new laptop today, i have these options;

1) HP- AMD Phenom 11 dual core 2.8ghz/4gb ram/win 7/ATI mobility radeon HD 5450 512mb....£500

2)Sony- AMD Phenom 11 Triple core 1.8GHz/4GB ram/ATI Mobil;ity Radeon HD 5145....£550

3)Acer- AMD Phenom 11 Quad-Core N930 2 GHz/3GB ram ATI radeon HD4250.....£500

4)Dell- Intel core i-3-350 2.26 GHz/1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graph card/4GB ram....£579

Conflicted as to which one to buy. Proccessor and Graphics are priority, as opposed to one more GB of ram over the other.

Any help please?

[Ricardos79]

Can anyone tell me what I can expect from playing FM2011 on the following laptop:

AMD Sempron 1.8GHz
1GB RAM
Windows system rating 3.0

5 leagues with 12,000 players

[Mike.83]

I've just doubled the RAM in my machine, meaning my specs for FM this year are

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3.00GHz
4GB (4x1GB) CorsairTwinX XMS2, DDR2 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT card
Windows 7 64bit.

The Graphics card isn't amazing, this is because I had a 320MB XFX 8800GTS fail on my a few weeks ago which I haven't replaced yet.

Still, the extra RAM I added has improved the demo speed no end. I get to see the opening 5-10 minutes of games and everything!

[Roman Chevalier]

Acer for only FM, Dell for overall/gaming.


5 leagues with 12,000 players

So definatley not the Sony one then? As for leagues and players and 3d, will the acer/dell be just average or quite good? Thanks

[j@cko]

Can you let me know how many leagues/players etc. I would be able to run with this laptop please.

Intel® Core™ i3-330M (2.13 GHz)
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit 4096 Mo,
Hard drive: 500 GB,
15.6 Widescreen
Graphics card Integrated - 128MB statically allocated from RAM

Thanks!

[antl]

any ideas how well this will run fm11. Intel® Core™ i5-430M Processor

No. Acer will run 3D on high.
Acer will run 40 to 50 leagues and the dell 20 to 25 leagues. IMO.

Hi guys. I'm thinking of buying a new laptop for no more than £500.

I've found this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-15-6-in...8023427&sr=1-4

Could anyone tell me how this one would do with FM, or suggest any better ones they know of.

Thanks for any help.

Here's a better one http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-pav...74346-pdt.html

If you don't like that colour there's the white version http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-pav...59636-pdt.html

[welshace]

ok... im a bit more aware on what im after now.. can anyone help me out and find something similar to these specs? :

-Good processor, ideally i3 as they are relatively cheap and seem to be much better then dual cores now

-At least 3 gb ram , ideally 4+ ddr3

-Dedicated graphics .. dont want integrated..

-HDD space is flexible.. ideally 500gb but obviously this is very flexible

no more then £500, give or take a few £ obviously


someone help me pleaseeeeee???

[TigerTime]

AMS

If you're willing to spend £50 you could go for this, which is better than the two above, http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/toshib...27246-pdt.html

Or this one http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/acer-a...82363-pdt.html

nice.. and thanks tiger .. but surely that processor is a little underpowered?

[welshace]

its sad... if this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-Sate.../ref=de_a_smtd

just had a dedicated graphics option.. it would be perfect for most looking for a lappy on here

[TigerTime]

nice.. and thanks tiger .. but surely that processor is a little underpowered?

High clock speed makes up for that a bit. Couldn't find anything with more cores for under £500.

[WoGBoYz]

HD5450 and HD5470 is no upgrade at all. You won't notice the difference.


Make sure. Or the CPU will be wasted


BTW 1055T is not 220 AUD. its $250.

And 1055t if you are not OCing. 965BE or 1090T if you are OCing.

Thanks Ishu. I've actually seen it for $233 and now I've found it for 199 at a local PC shop. Thanks for the advice guys, think I'll go with the 2.8 GHz 6 core on the 890fx board.

[TJJESSE]

You will be able to run around 30-40 leagues with 60,000 players.

Seriously. Thats cool but would that 30-40 leagues with 60,000 players run comfortably or horribaly with the intel pentium dual-core processor and 4gb ram?

[Ishu]

Seriously. Thats cool but would that 30-40 leagues with 60,000 players run comfortably or horribaly with the intel pentium dual-core processor and 4gb ram?

I would say 20 to 25 leagues with 80,000 players (If its Win 7 64bit).

[Lone Gooner]

Correct me if I am wrong but having anything over 4GB of RAM is pointless?

[reflection22]

Cool, well what do you think of this?

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-pav...87014-pdt.html

Slightly less powerful, but about the same price and part of me would prefer to get a 'brand name'. Plus I'm not too keen on the finance options at pcspecialist.

740QM is a lot faster than 640M

[Dibber]

I've got a macbook...

core 2 duo 2ghz
3gb ram

how many leagues/players should i be running for a decent speed game? I run about 8 leagues and 18k players on fm10 but always feel i may have undercooked it, I like to play long term games.

ps looking at the new macbook pro core i5 or i7, how many would these be able to run. probably with 4gb ram.

Must be popular!

Maybe I exaggeration on the leagues a little. Probably more like 25-35.

[hursty2]

FML the demo runs pretty slow on my current laptop so looks as though I'm going to have to delve into my pocket. And on further thought I don't have a clue on how to upgrade the family desktop so would probably be best off just buying a new tower. Any suggestions?

[Ishu]

On 32bit OS yes. On 64bit no.

Get a new box and use old monitor, speaker.
Possibly use stuff from inside the box too.

[hursty2]

Yeah I will use the old monitor. Could I just replace the parts from within my box with the new ones, is it really that easy?

[TigerTime]

Yes, it is pretty easy. Can you tell me your specs?

[Ishu]

As Tigertime said its very easy. If you watch some youtube videos beforehand it will be a breeze.

[MirrorrorriM]

I have a friend building a PC for me and I am currently specing it out (as he would have me spending thousands!). I want to run FM quickly but with as many leagues as possible - what could I get upto with this spec;

Processor (CPU)
AMD ATHLON II X4 645 (3.10GHz/2MB CACHE/AM3)
Motherboard
ASUS® M4A79XTD EVO: DUAL DDR3, S-ATA II, 2 x PCIe x16, 2 x PCIe x1, 2 x PCI
Memory (RAM)
8GB SAMSUNG DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X 4GB)
Graphics Card
1GB ATI RADEON™ HD 5750 PCI EXPRESS - DirectX® 11
Memory - 1st Hard Disk
60GB OCZ VERTEX 2 SATA II 2.5" SSD (upto 285MB/sR | 275MB/sW)
2nd Hard Disk
1TB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 16MB CACHE (7,200rpm)
OS
Windows 7 64 bit

Will a SSD have much impact on the game speed?

Thanks in advance.

[reflection22]

Yea it was down earlier for maintenance but it's working now. I have a £1000 budget, it's the best pre-built machine I've seen for under a grand.

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-pav...87014-pdt.html

I'd rather have a better processor than an SSD (For FM).
CONS old motherboard, weak CPU, Samsung RAM.

Yea it was down earlier for maintenance but it's working now. I have a £1000 budget, it's the best pre-built machine I've seen for under a grand.

Looks very good. Get it ASAP

[reflection22]

Yea i thought so...what is confusing me is why this laptop is priced higher for a (apparently) lower spec?

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-env...87011-pdt.html

Surely the i7 720qm is better than the i5 450m?

Which one would u go for out of the two?

Looks very good. Get it ASAP

[MirrorrorriM]

Ishu thanks for your input.
I have kicked SSD to upgrade the cons you highlighted. They are as follows;

Processor (CPU)
AMD PHENOM II X4 970 (3.50GHz/8MB CACHE/AM3) - BLACK EDITION
Motherboard
ASUS® M4A87TD/USB3: DUAL DDR3,SATA 6.0GB/s, USB 3.0
Memory (RAM)
8GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (4 x 2GB KIT)
Graphics Card
1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTS450 GDDR5 PCI EXPRESS - DirectX® 11

How would this run? Thanks.

[hursty2]

Yes, it is pretty easy. Can you tell me your specs?

For the Dell Inspiron 530, which I'm not on at the moment so these are just off the top of my head
1GB Ram
1.6 GHZ Intel Celeron Processor

I'll get back to you with the full specs tomorrow.

[TigerTime]

Ok. Will give some feedback then.

[QUOTE=Ishu;6026432]On 32bit OS yes. On 64bit no.

Actually on 64bit FM will use 4GB RAM. 2GB can be used by windows, softwares etc. In 32bit FM can only use 2GB.

[Ishu]

How many leagues and players can I run on following machine:

I7 720 QM 1.6 Ghz

W7 64

Around 50 leagues with 100k players.

[welshace]

ok, after much deliberation.. ive decided to go for a desktop instead.. (more bang for my buck and a laptop can come later for web browsing etc)

so..... £600 budget.... whats the best gaming pc i can get? baring in mind the games in question will be Football manager , total war series and possibly the likes of arma 2

[Skyjacker]

Around 50 leagues with 100k players.

Wow that's a lot... Would they all be playable?

[reflection22]

That site is really handy for checking your computers rating in relation to FM, cheers!

Have a look at this site.

[alexlmlo]

hi, Ishu, I have ordered a new pc not long ago, and would like to know how many leagues / how big the database I could run the game, I printed a pdf when I ordered the pc, I have uploaded it online and please take a look if you don't mind.

The link is here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/9xs00l

Thanks a lot.

[hursty2]

These are my specs;

Operating System: Windows Vista Home Basic
Model: Dell Inspriron 530
BIOS: Phoenix
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.2GHZ
Memory: 1022MB RAM
DirectX: 11
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS
DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC
Approx. Total Memory: 370MB

So yeah...

[TigerTime]

Ok. How much money do you have to spend?

What I'd do would be to upgrade to 4gb of RAM and upgrade your graphics card to Ati Radeon 5450 if you only use your PC to play FM.

Your proccy is decent, should be able to handle 20-25 leagues but can be upgraded if you have some money spare. What mobo (motherboard) do you have? I need to know so I can check if your proccy is upgradable and how many RAM slots you have.

[QuincyOwusu-Abeyie]

Help me out please, How many for this?

Intel Pentium Dual Core T4500 - 2.3ghz
Intel GMA 4500M
3GB DDR3 Memort
320GB HDD

How many leagues and players?

[hursty2]

I'm not sure about my motherboard(is there any site I can find this on?). Regarding the processor I was thinking of an upgrade to a quad core to obviously increased speeds and was also thinking about getting a windows 64-bit OS but that will set me back $250.

My budget after the sale of a few items will probably be around $600-$800.

Thanks for your help.

I linked some memory scanners on the 3rd or 4th page. They'll tell you.

Buy a better processor and maximise your RAM.
Switch graphic card if 3D is not smooth.

[robvandam316]

I am thinking about getting a new PC. This is my current "wish-list":

Intel Pentium i7-950 (4x 3066 MHz)
AMD Radeon HD6870 (1024 MB, 256 Bit)
OCZ 6 GB DDR3-1333 Tri-Kit
Asus P6X58D-E motherboard
Samsung HD103SJ 1TB (x2)

I will run Windows 7 64-bit on it.

Can anyone tell me what I can expect for FM2011 with this set-up?

Very good performance, around 50 leagues with a large database easily.

How many cores is your processor?
If its dual; 30-35 leagues 60K players
If its quad; 40-45 leagues 80K players

Should run well though as it is a decent system.

yeah, the system is still being built by scan, cost me 2k....

anyway, just want to know, if i can run all playable leagues with maximum database with my system? thanks a lot.

Actually on 64bit FM will use 4GB RAM. 2GB can be used by windows, softwares etc. In 32bit FM can only use 2GB.

I am really suprised at that, so basically its not worth having more than 4GB of RAM in a pc?

[antl]

could you tell me how well this would run fm11.
Intel® Core™ i7-620M Processor
- 2.66 GHz
- 2.5 GT/s QPI
- 4 MB Smart Cache
- 4 GB
- DDR3 RAM
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium
Integrated graphics processor
- up to 1590 MB shared video memory
thanks

[Ultras5314]

How many cores is your processor?
If its dual; 30-35 leagues 60K players
If its quad; 40-45 leagues 80K players

Should run well though as it is a decent system.

Dual, but cheers mate. I assume this goes for long term games as well or do I have to cut down a bit in that case?

[Ishu]

Hi guys, how many leagues and players question..

# AMD Athlon 635 2900 MHz 2 MB AMD 760G
# 4 GB DIMM DDR3
# 1 TB HDD 7200 rpm
# ATI Radeon HD 5450 1024 MB
# Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Thanks in advance!

30 leagues with 60,000 players

yeah, the system is still being built by scan, cost me 2k....

anyway, just want to know, if i can run all playable leagues with maximum database with my system? thanks a lot.

Alex

Yes.

If FM is using all of your 4GB where will windows and antivirus etc go??
And some softwares have the abilty to use more than 4GB. Withina a year or two more and more softwares will do that.

40 to 50 leagues with 60 to 80k players.

This will do well in the long term. You can lower it to 25 and 45k players if you want it to be fast.

I used PC Specialist - http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/

My new PC was despatched today - pretty reasonable prices and a decent forum that offers good advice if your looking for a 2nd opinion.

My specs for the new PC are a few pages back but I did pretty well for just over £500.

Sony.
Graphic card - 4250 is just slightly better than HD.
RAM & CPU are better in the first one.

Thanks my friend, I had a feeling that the SONY would be better, so I should have no problems with the 3D???

Not really. It will run it on high.

Looks roughly the same as the other one, any thoughts Ishu?

Edit: looks like it's only a single core

Thanks for any feedback

Just bought a new PC (Athlon Quad Core) with a ATI Radeon HD 5400 graphics card. Should the latter be OK to run 3D in the demo, which I'm now downloading? Tried to run the 3D in FM09 tonight and whist I could set the detail to 'High' in preferences, it still only showed 2D.

*bugger* Any help appreciated.

Mate i have amd phenom quad core with ati mob rad 4250 graphic card, and it runs 3d really really well. Ok it's not fifa, but high enough for FM. So yours should run easy peasy.

[Big Geordie]

Thanks Roman. Just a bit perplexed about why it won't with FM09. :-/ Oh well - we'll see how the demo runs tomorrow.

[Roman Chevalier]

How many leagues and players would you recommend on this machine;

AMD phenom 11 Quad-core 2Ghz
3Gb ram
ati mobility radeon 4250

Thanks very much

[Roman Chevalier]

I couldn't say, but maybe it was a setting you forgot to tick. It'll run high on your laptop though.

Can anyone recommend a desktop pc (mainly for playing FM) for no more than £450??

I was considering this one..

[TigerTime]

I'm not sure about my motherboard(is there any site I can find this on?). Regarding the processor I was thinking of an upgrade to a quad core to obviously increased speeds and was also thinking about getting a windows 64-bit OS but that will set me back $250.

My budget after the sale of a few items will probably be around $600-$800.

Thanks for your help.

With that money I'd change everything in your PC, accept the case. Will get back to you with some different parts.

[hursty2]

I think its this MOBO. 0RY007 motherboard
