Recently upgraded the ram to dual memory 16gb (2x8gb), same speed at 3200MHz and cl from 22 originally to 20 now and the benchmark a results were interesting. Benchmark a - 2.25 Benchmark b - 10.46 Benchmark c - 14.34 Benchmark d - 30.30 - I generally see a lot of comments explaining that ram doesn’t have too much of a difference but I’d say 24 seconds and 3m21s is definitely a difference! one thing worth bearing in mind is it seems ryzen cpu’s typically seem to underperform on single channel memory and this can be boosted a fair amount by upgrading the ram to dual channel.

I got the impression that going from 8 Gb to 16 Gb definitely has an impact but going from 2400 to 3000 Mhz f.e. has a lot less impact. I also read somewhere that the effect of dual sticks instead of single stick has a huge impact on Ryzen systems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you suggest a larger data set would be ideal but all I can say is it’s a new laptop, I have done 0 to it other than keep up to date with bios and drivers and then replaced the ram. ive seen a boost on every game I play but as that is FPS increases and stability it’s a little hard to compare to fm21 with the processing times. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a 6 times or so the first time once it was about 15 seconds longer but the rest were all the same give or take half a second or so and again a few weeks later and got the same time. Each time laptop was in high performance mode (it always is) fresh restart no other programs running, full battery and plugged in was pretty consistent around the 2.49/50 mark even this time when I got the massive reduction in times I triple checked every setting and ran benchmark a 3 times getting 2.25 each time, I would expect a consistent performance though from a new machine with only games and launchers installed. I would just check task manager and google any processes you are unsure about and that should confirm if it’s essential or bloatware running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't comment on future FM's as SI may make changes to the graphics in future iterations, so it's impossible to say for sure. What we can say is the graphics requirements haven't changed much over the last few years so if SI keeps to that, then the 1650Ti will be more than adaquate. As @Gee_Simpson said, the laptop with the 2060 may be worth considering if you thinking of playing other games as well as FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojopasion Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 @Gee_Simpson @kevhamster I have been exclusive to the CM / FM saga for more than 20 years. I don't play other games, so I won't give so much importance to graphics. Thanks for your advices. As for the microprocessor, I never had doubts that the correct one was the R7 4800H to take advantage of the multi-core in the full detail processing, but it is almost out of the market right now, that is why perhaps I should give in and settle for the I7 10750H, which in any case has given great results according to the benchmarks here. I like to play with all the continent active leagues, and I play long saves so I have to think about the long term in processing. Right now I'm still playing FM17, a +5000 hour save game.

Whilst the Ryzen 7 4800H is the stronger CPU, the i7-10750H is still an excellent option. So, you're struggling to find something with the Ryzen 7 option, the Intel one should still do a very good job for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelzUK Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hello Long time lurker, first time poster Great thread! I ran this on my work machine and I was surprised at the results - I expected better. I didn't monitor the CPU load when running it, but I would guess that FM doesn't use all of the cores - or at least not efficiently. Which I'd kinda expect on your typical game but I did assume a spreadsheet game like FM would have taken advantage of all 32c/64t.

Fingers crossed. Thanks again :-) I quickly did a Benchmark A on balanced mode : 1 min 50 sec. So hardly any difference, fans hardly working so I guess that is the best way forward playing FM. When only browsing, writing & reading stuff put it on silent mode (and it really is completely silent) and when playing stuff like Cyberpunk and what not, put it balanced or if you lack a bit of fps, put it on performance mode. Another tip I read somewhere which might be interesting if you use the laptop with battery a lot: FN+R combo switches screen between 60 Hz and 165 Hz. I also ran Timespy now on balanced mode and got a score of 9817 combined. GPU dropped from 10894 to 9952 and CPU dropped from 9265 to 9119. So another prove that the difference between balanced and performance mode isn't big for CPU heavy games like FM. Temps on balanced mode were max 87°C for CPU and 69°C for GPU. All quite reasonable I think. With a laptop stand people mentioned another 4°C drop. Edited April 27, 2021 by DJ Sir Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malicious Penguin Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 @Safe HandsIf it's going to be long-term, I'd have no more than 15-20 leagues; after 3 seasons it starts to slow a bit, but not too badly. Haven't gone beyond 6 years, but that's still decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwchriste Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I know this is kind of late in the FM21 lifecycle, but the CPU/GPU shortage has been a killer. After spending way too much on hardware and the last week or so overclocking the tar out of everything, here are my results: Type: Desktop Model: Custom CPU Model: AMD Ryzen 9 5950x CPU Base Frequency: 3.4GHz CPU Turbo Frequency: 4.9GHz RAM: 32GB RAM Clockspeed: 3600MHz GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3090 Graphics Level in 3D: Very High Storage Type: SSD Benchmark A: 1 min 18 secs Benchmark B: 5 min 43 secs Benchmark C: 6 min 39 secs Benchmark D: 11 min 35 secs 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hardly any difference, fans hardly working so I guess that is the best way forward playing FM. When only browsing, writing & reading stuff put it on silent mode (and it really is completely silent) and when playing stuff like Cyberpunk and what not, put it balanced or if you lack a bit of fps, put it on performance mode. Another tip I read somewhere which might be interesting if you use the laptop with battery a lot: FN+R combo switches screen between 60 Hz and 165 Hz. I also ran Timespy now on balanced mode and got a score of 9817 combined. GPU dropped from 10894 to 9952 and CPU dropped from 9265 to 9119. So another prove that the difference between balanced and performance mode isn't big for CPU heavy games like FM. Temps on balanced mode were max 87°C for CPU and 69°C for GPU. All quite reasonable I think. With a laptop stand people mentioned another 4°C drop. Finally its arrived! Got some interesting results when benchmarking. On Time spy, balanced result was 10204 GPU / 9678 CPU. I followed this straight away on performance and got 11020 / 9211 which wasn't what I was expecting on the CPU. Rebooted and got 11023/ 10029. In regard to the FM benchmarks, I conducted some last week & they were a few seconds slower than yours which again was a surprise as I've got 32gb ram (I know there's issues with the ram). Since then I've updated the Bios and got 10:18 on balanced and 10:08 on performance for Benchmark C. This was achieved opening FM upon boot up. I also found that if you re-load the benchmark and carry out the test for a second time, it was almost a minute slower. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpole Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I've got my eyes on 5900x but I see weird results up to 1min difference between the same (vaguely) type of PC. I wonder if this is because of overclocking or maybe overheating due to lack of cooling/airflow inside the case. Any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
