Ishu Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStevieG Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 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.

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). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperStevieG Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piadinaro Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 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?

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.
