hxp Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 What's the current best desktop CPU under 300€ for FM? I was planning on getting a ryzen 2600/2700(x) for general use and gaming but after reading through this forum and other sources it seems that intel processors are better for FM (and gaming in general?). A Core i5 9600k costs about as much as a Ryzen 2700. Which should i get for now and how will either of them fare in future FM's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those intel processors that are topping this list could become more or less obsolete if that happens. FM has already has become more demanding in the past years but multi-theading support would open up a lot of possibilites for SI to push it even further. It's probably going to take some time but it's still a scary thought, i want my PC to last for atleast 5 years.

I don't know when fm will start utilising multi core that's really a question for FM staff. I asked before about this and ihave an answer in my inbox relating to it. A lot of people play on older machines and SI have the stats on people computer that play the game. Check the opening post too for a link to notebookchecker.

Thanks. Approx the same - no need to wait if you can go instore and pick it up today. But, if you have 'you can wait' pants then I think you should save bit more and get something a bit better. Now this is 529 - and it has 4gb of RAM (which I don't think is enough you'd need to upgrade it sooner rather than later). https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/FX504GD-DM1276T-ASUS-FX504GD-DM1276T_2457791.html Or this is 600 - with the 8gb RAM - https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/FX504GD-UPGRADE-ASUS-FX504GD-DM1276T_2457792.html I'd highly recommend the 600 one, if you can.

Whoever advised you that AMD over Intel is talking nonsense - there are some AMDs (later models) better than intel, but it completely depends on the model. Typically, until recently Intel were always superior to AMD, AMD is catching up, and there are some AMDs better than Intel - but they are more expensive. Here's a list of processors the higher on the list the better https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmark-List.2436.0.html You can see the Thread Ripper takes the 1st 4 slots, an amazing processor - but for very expensive gaming laptops. The one I am recommending for you is 23rd on that list - and the graphics card is far superior than anything in a 2-1 in laptop. For 2-1 processors - number 42 on the list - 50-52, 82 etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenator88 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hi Smurf, I'm looking to get a new laptop to run FM19 - probably about 13 leagues across 6 nations with a medium database for about 50 or so game years. I've got a budget of $2100 NZD which is 1050 GBP, but then found the below laptop reduced from $2100 down to $1699.

funnylittlefrog Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hi guys. i’m looking for a new PC to run FM19. I’d like to be able to run the English, German, French, Italian and Spanish leagues as playable as a minimum, but wouldn’t mind being able to add the Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Brazilian and Argentinian on top of that. The latter ones aren’t essential as I tend to run a fair few on view only anyway, but being able to do so would be a nice bonus. I tend to watch matches in 2D, but the ability to do so in 3D would be nice to have as an option. But, again, not essential. I’ve found something with the following spec and would like some idea of how it will perform: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.9Ghz - Six Core processing performance Graphics Card: AMD RX 580 8GB RAM: Corsair 16GB Vengeance (2 x 8GB) 300Mhz DDR4 Any advice would be much appreciated.

darren1589 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Hi All, I have recently had an IMac which i have just sold so have a budget of around £700 - 850 for a really good laptop, FM ran perfectly on the Imac so looking for something that is going to run FM well for at least the next couple of years anyway. Usually play 8 leagues at one time, don't use 3d but always play 2D so good graphics card i'm assuming is essential. I literally have no idea when it comes to technology and what is good, what is not.

Is Asus a good make to go for then? would the processor be ok too ? I'm sure I saw FM specs said processor to be 2.2Ghz and this one is 2.2Ghz too, would that make it a bit slow as it's just on the bare minimum ? Would they be better than the 3 from PC world that I had put on my post earlier, just asking as it said they were 'gaming' laptops. cheers Edited February 26, 2019 by darren1589 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the processor is much better - the one you had asked about the 8265U is only 1.6ghz and designed to run on the lower of the speeds when under stress, such as heavy processing that FM requires. They are the same as the others you posted - just a bit cheaper. As you say - you only play 2d anyway - so go for one of the 3 others I posted earlier. Depends on whether you want more battery life or more storage, which is more important? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Asus one you recommended, it's processor says 2.2GHZ with boost to 4.1Ghz and the processor is an i7, however i had been looking at this one also and the processor seems to be just slightly higher but with an i5 processor, would that one be ok too do you think or would it not be as good as the i7 ? ? https://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-omen-15-6-intel-core-i5-gtx-1050-gaming-laptop-1-tb-hdd-128-gb-ssd-10182218-pdt.html Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
