Hi. Looking for a desktop to mainly play FM with the following specs or similar r My PC specs are Intel Core i9-13900K 3.00GHz, GeForceRTX 4080, 32GB RAM, 2x 2TB SSD Pc Specs

Not sure if this is the right page. I’m looking for either 1 wide(34+ inch) or 2 regular(24-27) inch monitors to both work and stream fm. Ideally they’re height adjustable as they’ll go over my works laptop and the laptop I use for FM. Any advice is great and budget is around 400 quid or 800 for the one wide screen one. Regards James

Would suggest a mac over a similar priced windows laptop then?

Which MacBook Pro would you suggest if anyone plays on it? Looking to get one in the summer for general use and FM obviously. Interested to know how people find the FM experience as it’s top of all the benchmarking on site

Anyone own a MacBook? What’s the best specs to buy for playing FM and as an all round laptop

been an avid player of FM for many years however have struggled with lag on the new version for a long time. I suffer from autism & ocd so I’m quite picky when it comes to things being right however on this version it hasn’t been. Have had 2 gaming laptops 1 Intel I7 the other AMD Ryzen which have both struggled to run the game without lag. Both these laptops are £1000+ gaming machines which should easily run a game of this issue without any major issues. Don’t know if it’s just me or not but I’ve tried to change pretty much every setting going and still the issues persist so much that I’ve had to send the laptops back at a loss. Starting to think it’s the game and not the laptop issue. Any help would be appreciated. The laptops are both 120HZ plus screens and have dedicated Nvidia 3500 and 4000 graphics cards. Am happy to do any testing you need to make the game as good as it can be just posting this in here to see if anyone else has similar examples. Regards James

I have put a post in the match engine issues thread if you want to take a look

Interesting. Might have to put it in the si forums to check

What settings would you suggest on the match engine?

Bought the HP and still having issues with graphics stutter. Not sure how with the GPU. Could it be due to the processor/graphics almost being too good for the game and unable to run at a high frame rate, or is it because the high graphics only run at a minimum frame rate and the 144hz screen is refreshing too quickly for the game causing the jitter. Any advice/info would be helpful, before I send it back. Regards James

Was looking at this as a slightly cheaper alternative if anyone has any thoughts

Cheers. Just a bit wary of the GPU. Is that good enough to run FM smoothly? Or is it just about the processor

Hi all. Update to this I’ve sold the Lenovo and am on the hunt for a new laptop. Seen the M2 pro outperform most gaming laptops on FM and was thinking of moving to the MacOS. Budget will stretch with 20% off employee discount from my work. Other 2k alternatives welcome but if I can find something that maxes performance, smooth graphics at all times and is quiet I’ll be happy. Got non of these out of the Lenovo Legion 5i

Sorry to bother you again. Been finding the laptop is really jittery when playing FM. Legion 5(AMD Ryzen 7 5700H, NVIDIA 360 RTX) Not sure what's causing it and its making me fall out of love with the game. laptop set to performance mode and still finding it jitters in the 3D engine(Probably frame rate). Am I better off selling the laptop and getting something with less/similar specs which I hope would run the game better as I think its cost me too much money for not the results I wanted. Happy to message directly if anyone can help Thanks James

The more I read around the harder it is to find a genuinely quiet gaming laptop. ASUS TUF is one that’s apparently better as well as the HP Omen. The others are way out of my price range. Would getting a non gaming laptop help with the noise issue and would that impact FM performance.

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any idea if a laptop is out there with similar specs(happy to be slightly lower) if it meant a quieter fan during gameplay. The fan noise is bad even when the laptop is on the home screen with nothing running. So it’s just a massive annoyance when using the laptop. Attached the sound made when nothings open on the laptop 68488109242__F8C6CD2C-9C72-4B08-8BE7-C139F9F96170.MOV

Afternoon These are the specs for the Lenovo Legion 5 Laptop(Legion 5-15ACH6H Laptop (Lenovo) - Type 82JU) I bought last Christmas to mainly play FM. However I have found it really noisy(Jet engine like) and thus have found it basically unplayable. Anyone got any advice for either a replacement(If i can sell the lenovo) which has similar specs. Would increasing the RAM improve the performance of the game? Find it struggles sometimes in the 3D graphics mode to be completely smooth and it is sometimes choppy, even on the highest performance settings on the laptop. Thanks for all your help. James
