How many leagues could I run smoothly on this because I want to start a journeyman save with a few leagues running

AMD Athlon X2 Dual-core QL-65 2.1GHz
4GB RAM
Windows 7(64 it)

thanks.

10 leagues

[Ishu]

Pentium 4 CPU 2.93GHz
1.93 GB RAM


Graphics ATI radeon express 200 256mb

I normally run about 20-30 leagues so that's no problem just wondering about the 3D match view and what effects I could have enabled (stadiums ect.)

I would have suggested 5 leagues with 2D.

TBH I don't know anything about the graphic card.

[rooneymagic88]

This is my current system which I have had for at least 4 years (apart from Windows 7)

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.101026-1503)
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+, ~2.2GHz
Memory: 4GB RAM
Graphic Card: ATI RADEON 9600 Series (Display Memory: 383 MB, Dedicated Memory: 255 MB, Shared Memory: 127 MB)
Hard Drive: Maxtor 6Y080P0 ATA Device 80GB

It runs FM ok but the 3d is a bit stuttery, more than a bit when there is any kind of hard disk activity. I am looking to upgrade or buy a new system and have around £400 - £500 to spend. Any suggestions or help would be most welcome.

[Ishu]

If you can answer the questions I posted on the last page, I'll try to help.
Its the 4th or 5th post from bottom.

[rooneymagic88]

Sorry Ishu I had only read the first 4 pages.

Uses - FM and internet
MAX budget - £500
Overclock? Yes although I don't know a lot about overclocking.
OS Windows 7 (which I already have)
When will you buy the system? Hopefully before April
Anything you don't want to include in this? Like monitor, speaker, UPS, etc. Don't need a monitor or speakers as I already have them, sorry but I don't know what UPS is.

Thanks for any reply.

Normally I run around 20-25 leagues and that runs fine lol. My computer must love me. Its xp btw not vista if that will make a difference.

[rooneymagic88]

Thanks Ishu.

[rooneymagic88]

Thanks again Ishu

I notice that you have not included a graphics card in that set up. Is that because you think my current one (which is at least 4 years old) is good enough to run the 3D? It is already a bit jerky now although it tends to be worse when there is hard drive activity in the background. Or is there an integrated graphics card in the stuff you have recommended? Didn’t spot one tbh.

[Ishu]

The onboard graphic card is more than enough for FM and anything else except gaming.

Ok so i posted in here a while ago and got a lot of good help from Ishu but due to christmas spending i'm yet to actually get a new computer. Its getting really annoying now as my laptop has rather had it tbh.

I'm after a desktop computer like before but i'd rather just have one thats already made rather than just oredring parts and my price range is about $AU800 - $AU900. I'd like a computer thats capable of running something like 20 leagues comfortably but i will settle for less if i can get a good deal.

Thanks in advance.

[TJJESSE]

if i have a master degree in Electronic and computer science engineering would i be able to work at a place like si?

How many leagues would my computer have? And should I buy something new processor or graphic card?

thx for the help

IMO you should buy a new PC.

[gomez93]

5 .

IMO you should buy a new PC.

What computer do I need to buy? Could you link a good one for like 700-900 pounds. And how many leagues does that computer( the computer you linked) handle?

[alibabak]

Ishu

What parts would you use to build the ultimate FM2011 computer?

All leagues!
All players!

A motherboard for dual cpu? 4 cpu?

[Ishu]

How many leagues are there in FM??
I suppose less than 150.

IMO 2600K OCed can easily handle that.

Upcoming Bulldozer and Ivybridge too.

So 1 CPU is enough.

[Ishu]

I don't really know about pre-build PCs. Try checking the OTF computer thread or Laptop thread.

[Lazaru5]

So 1 CPU is enough.

117 leagues in 51 countries with approximately 165,000 players in the database.

and my quad-core just about manages to run it

[Ishu]

A stock 2600K will run that.

An OCed 2500K might manage too.

Is that parts or prebuilt?

I'd get a P67 board instead of H67. H67 won't let you overclock while P67 will.

Also GT430 sucks.

Do you game?

Yes its part but im havent buy this yet. What graphic card should i buy? How many leagues could this computer handle with the A P67?

[Ishu]

P67 is the motherboard. You see the words "H67" in that Gigabyte mobo? Thats because its a H67. You want P67 if you want to overclock.

Your CPU should handle 60 - 70 leagues on stock.

Do you play any other games?

[gomez93]

Sometimes I play WC3 and diablo2 but its not so often... I play more fm07 because my computer cant handle fm11 :P What is overclock?

[Ishu]

Then get the i5 2400 instead of that i5 2500k.

And don't buy a Graphic card.

And you can go for a cheaper power supply. Get the 400W model of that Antec or 520W.

[dan99]

Ishu, how many leagues would you recommend on a i5 760 OC'd at 3.80Ghz, with 4GB of 1600MHz RAM. I have a GTX 570 but I prefer 2d, so that doesn't matter much :P

[Tony7]

I want to run all the leagues from Belgium, England, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Portugal, Russia, Scotland, Spain and Turkey. I have a mac i5 2.4 GHZ and 4GB RAM. In the game menu I think it gives me 1 and a half or 2 star for speed, will it be too slow to run all them leagues? I thought more leagues I run more players will be in the game.

[gomez93]

Okej now I have take all the parts you said... How many leagues now? http://img585.imageshack.us/i/computer2.png/

Go back to the board you previously had.
Rest is good.

To the H67??

[gomez93]

Okej now I have the H67 http://img852.imageshack.us/i/computer3.png/ ... How many league should this have now?

Yeah.

It will run 55-65 leagues.

[Piadinaro]

I am speaking only about the speed of the game, i.e. the speed in the loading after press "continue", considering that my wish is to play with 10 leagues active and a ddt of all players in the world.

- the HD affect the speed in the loading after the "continue"? the game on SSD would be faster?

- using DDR3 is it possible to detect a difference of performance using 4GB and 8GB?

- there is a difference in performance using Windows7 or Snow Leopard?

Now about the graphics, what I need to play with full details and without any problems?

[Ishu]

1) No. Improvement in menus, profile opening etc? Not much.
2) FM can only use 2GB in 32bit OS and 4GB in 64bit OS. So no.
3) No idea.

4) Most discrete graphic cards will do. Newer onboards will be alright as well.

[SuperStevieG]

Is what Ishu says about FM only being able to use 4GB of RAM correct? Also can anyone point me to an SI guy confirming this?

I'm looking at a new Mac and was wondering if I'd see any difference between getting 4GB or 8GB of RAM, I'm decided on everything apart from the RAM so far.

[TF]

Was wondering how many leagues I can run with this:
3GB Ram(2.74 GB Usable)
ADM V140 Processor 2.30 GHZ
I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit version

So how many leagues?

FM is a 32bit software and every 32bit software is like that.
It has been confirmed by SI and a test a guy did a while back.

FM only crossed 2GB of RAM usage on his 64 bit OS after holidaying for 10 seasons (Every league and player was loaded).

[Ishu]

@tf
6 - 7

[SuperStevieG]

Yeah thanks Ishu, I wasn't doubting what you said I just wanted to double check. Your logic makes perfect sense, I just wasn't sure if FM was 32 or 64 bit beforehand

I suggest an interesting experiment for all the people who want to understand which are the real correlation between processor-memory and performance of FM 2011 in terms of speed. Let's do like this: we all begin a new career with 1 nation, 7 leagues and DDD all nations (total of 307000 players), we say the specs of our computers and we report how did it take to run 3 months of game, what do you think?

[schiv85]

Any ideas on number of leagues and amount of players i can run without FM being too slow?

Thats easy. RAM will only bottleneck performance if its low. And a CPU will directly impact performance.
This can help in buying a PC for FM. IMO just get the best possible CPU with adequate RAM. Other components do not have a major impact on performance.

If you wanna do a test, I would suggest something that finds out the impact of
1) Selecting a league as View Only and Playable
2) Loading additional players
3) Loading additional leagues


I thought of running these tests once (when a few other guys were doing something like this) but could get the time.

                       Test 1    Test 2    Test 3    Test 4    Test 5    Test 6
No of Players    15000    15000    30000    30000    60000    60000
No of leagues    2    4    2    4    15    15
VO                   0    0    0    0    0    14
P                     2    4    2    4    15    1
Avg RAM Used                        
Avg CPU Used                        
Save Size                        
Time

This will address the 3 points and also your CPU/RAM thing.

VO - View Only
P - Playable
Time - Time for Holidaying 5 seasons.

If only someone with a decent PC (Something neither too weak or too powerful) could run these

I was talking about buying everything in that post. Not just the processor.

EDIT: I don't think you'll find a laptop that can handle all leagues at decent speed. Not cheap atleast. £2000+.

[Born2killzone]

i9? Are talking about gulftown?

And yes i7s are better than i5s but the newer gen i5s are better than previous gen i7s. Newer gen i7 are better than previous gen i9s.

I dont know what gulftown is. How do you tell if its old gen or new gen?

[Ishu]

I dont know what gulftown is. How do you tell if its old gen or new gen?

Gulftown are the six core CPUs. i7 980X and i7 990X.

First gen iX are named : iX XXX
Second gen iX are named : iX 2XXX (Succeeded by a K if they have an unlocked core multiplier ie they are overclockable)

Ok, Just want to upgrade my processor.... but will look into the others, currently i am running 18 leagues on my spec and its doing ok but i just like to upgrade my processor

No worries about the laptop was look for one that runs around 70 leagues

Just wondering, I'm looking to start a long term game now the new patch is out (30+ seasons probably), is it wise to have 53 games loaded on my set up? Will it affect it that much?

Otherwise, whats a good number of leagues to have for a longer term game and should I set some to view only [ones that I don't plan on playing in but would like to have up]

Before I start my game with the new patch is game speed 2 star slow? My computer performance is 5 star

Apple Macbook Pro
CPU Intel core I5 2.4GHZ
Memory 4GB DDR
Graphics card Intel HD and Nivdia GeoForce GT 330M

I would like to run Belgium, England, France, Holland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Scotland, Russia all playable and all the leagues from each country from top to the bottom league. I'm just a bit worried 2 stars for game speed might be slow. I want to run them leagues so I can see how clubs from them countries are getting on in each league and able to have more players to buy in the database.

30 should be OK.

spec:

any advice would be very grateful, as I can't really make sense of the figures and numbers. Ta

Vaio are usually overpriced for the specs. They are more about looks.
Should run 30 leagues and 3D on high.

Intel Core i3 540 3,06 GHz 0,5 MB 4 MB
DIMM DDR3 1333 MHz 4 GB

My 2D match engine feels unresponsive and slow.

I've got a Packard Bell EasyNote TM86, Intel Core i3-330M Processor, 4GB Memory. It says my graphics card is 'Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD, Intel HD Graphics. Are these graphics spec lower than the minimum requirement needed?

Should be fine on medium. Maybe high.

I have a Intel card half the power and it plays easily on low.
