Matty114 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 All threads must have been utilized during English Premier and Championship matchdays? I just ran the benchmark again with a better overclock. The benchmark only used 13% max of my cpu and it only hit 4.5Ghz on a match day,here is a picture during the benchmark and this is one of my Man utd save with 32 leagues with the top tiers on full detail. This is my fastest time for the benchmark CPU: I7 5820k CPU Frequency: 4500 MHz @ 125 base clock RAM: 16Gb DDR4 2750Mhz 14-14-14-35-1T OS: Win 8.1 64-bit Storage: OS on SSD and Game on HD Time: 3 Minutes 52 seconds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Is that 4 physical cores or 2 physical & 2 logical cores? Also is that on a save where you're managing a Championship club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudel.dietrich Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I just turned up the detail level in my save to where every international and European competition is on full detail and I put 21 other leagues on full detail. It does put my CPU under near constant 100% load. I am going to see if it is worth the slow down in terms of getting better results due to a more accurate simulation.

dwnelson Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Not even that much, will have to get a G3258 and see what an overclock would do. Ask and you shall receive! Specifically upgraded to this setup based on the good results posted with the G3420 and since the G3258 is essentially the unlocked version of it. Super happy so far - Will update with an OC'ed result later.

rudel.dietrich Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Glad to see a user who has a i7-920 My desktop still has that CPU and it is a workhorse. It is aged by now but still capable. I have OCed it up to 26% (3.62 GHZ) before and my system was stable. I have since backed it down to 15% (3.37 GHZ) and it has been in service now for 7 years. I have upgraded that desktop to 12GB of ram and a Geforce 770 GTX and it is still a great gaming system. For a 45nm chip it is fantastic. It might be the most solid all around chip Intel has ever produced. It is limited today by aged cache and other technologies but the clock speed is still acceptable since you can OC the crap out of it and it just smiles and marches on. It is the 34 year old defensive midfielder who anchors your team of the processor world. There are even guides out there that with proper cooling people have OCed it all the way to 4 GHZ and had a stable system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yugo23 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 i7 920 is indeed very good CPU. I checked now and it can be found here for as low as 20 Euros.

Guest Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Noticed that I never posted a time using full detail processing, ran the original test again to get a new benchmark since upgrading to W10. CPU: i7-920 @ 4000MHz RAM: DDR3 6GB 1537Mhz - CL9 Default - match processing as per original test parameters: 5m 24s Maximum (International & Club) - all competitions using full detail match processing: 28m 56s Even for me the maximum setting is overkill as I leave youth & reserve leagues to run on the quick match engine as playing time & match performances are not really a factor in youth development sousing the full ME is not a major factor in long term game balance. Sir James, do you have the time & inclination to run the test with the detail level set to maximum? Would be interesting to see what the 5960X can come in at.

Abaddon879 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I can't decide if I've done something wrong, or whether my 6-year old processor is still managing to keep up with some of the best today? CPU: Intel i5-750 CPU Frequency: 3890 MHz OC RAM: 8GB OS: Win 10 64-bit Storage: SSD Time: 5 min, 58 sec That time seems unrealistically low. I even set England detail to all and got 6 min 58 sec? Can this be right? I was considering a CPU upgrade for FM but this suggests it may not massively benefit? Also, I noticed that for the majority of the benchmark, CPU usage was around the 30% mark? It only spiked to full usage when processing fixtures. And it rarely used more than 1GB of RAM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Your results appears to be in line wit expectations based on other results posted in this thread. There does appear to be a limit it how much processing FM is able to address to a CPU, I see a max of 16% use on my i7-920 clocked to 4Mhz when the match processing isn't set to full detail so 30% on your i5 is spot on. Hopefully SI will one day overcome whatever technically limitations create the apparent processing cap & we'll see better use of hardware resources at the higher end.

MrBlonde Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Just came across this when looking for thoughts about FM16. I didn't reboot, just closed my previous game and was using Outlook for a couple of work emails ... CPU: I5 2500K CPU Frequency: 4500 MHz RAM: 8GB 1600 MHz CL9 OS: Win 7 64-bit Storage: SSD - game on HD Time: 3 min 47 sec (ran it again - 3 min 49 sec) I suspect there's too many variables involved for this test to be called totally meaningful to be fair.
