Gee_Simpson Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Can FM actually utilise as many cores as your PC has? As I thought I read somewhere on these forums that the maximum it can utilise is 2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishu Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Every match is one thread. So FM can utilize as many core as there are matches (on that day). I even have posted a screenie showing FM using 8cores. Day to day processing is singlethreaded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishu, At the moment, i've selected leagues from England (up to League 1), Spain (up to Liga Adelante), Italy (up to Serie B), Argentina (up to Segunda Division), Germany (up to Bundesliga) Scotland (up to Premier League), France (up to Ligue 1), Portugal (up to Portuguese Liga), Holland (up to Eredivisie). The Game Speed Star Rating gives me 2 stars. Is there any way i can improve on my game speed? Listed below is my laptop specs: Intel® Core™ i5-460M Processor 2.53GHz Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit 500GB Serial ATA 5400rpm 6GB DDR3 SDRAM (max. 8GB) ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 Graphics with 1 GB DDR3 of Dedicated Video Memory Thank you.

Ishu Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Ignore the rating. Try to open FM, select these leagues and check rating. Now close FM and repeat. It will give you a higher rating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCG88 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hello guys, I hope you can give me hand in this. I always played the FM in my desktop but since the 3D arrived, well, it just wasn´t good enough (Pentium 4 Intel 2,6 ghz, 2 gb RAM, NVIDIA G-Force 5600 FX 256 Mb) and for the past two years i was down playing in 2D and in a very slow motion. Last week i got a problem with my graphic card, pushing it to hard i guess, so i decided to finally go for a new laptop where i can go to the net, work on office and adobe programs and, mainly, play FM right. The thing is, i have no clue for what to search for. I have a budget for about 500-700 euros and i really don´t know where to look. For what ive been reading, RAM should be 3 ou 4 Gb, the processor a Duol Core from Intel better than 2,6, a good hard drive from 350-500 Gb and a graphic card...here is where i really don´t have a clue. Could you help me with this, telling me the best graphic cards to play the game right (fast with 30 to 60 leagues at least) since the other tecs seems to me that will work out fine...but the graphics are trully killing me. Seen lots os laptops from HP, Asus, Acer, Toshiba with the first 3 categories almost correct (a little more or less on the hard drive a little more or less on the speed Duol Core) but im lost with the graphics so if you could enlist me the main ones, the ones that will make the laptop work on this FM and the few next (i know a good laptop lives for 3 to 4 years only) i would thank you very much!!!

Brian Lannister Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'm currently shopping for desktop parts to assemble into a system. Now, the only games I play are Football Manager 2011 and World of Warcraft and the two chips I'm considering are the i5 2500k & i7 2600k. All the benchmarks I've been reading say that an there is a minimal difference between the two chips, so I'm leaning on i5 2500k if this is the case. However, Football Manager 2011 isn't like the games they test. So, basically, I want to know what will I notice in FM 2011 using an i5 compared to the i7? I'm guessing I will be able to load much more leagues with the i7 and it will run smoother--but is it A LOT more leagues and A LOT more smoother than i5?

Ishu Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 RAM should be 4 Gb, the processor Core iX (X is a number) from Intel Almost all graphic cards can run 3D on high. Try to find an Intel laptop with Core i5 XXXXM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes FM will definitely benefit from HT of 2600k (which is all it offers over the 2500k). 2500k will run around 70 leagues and 2600k will run 120 leagues. Thing is, is it worth it?

Hanko Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I need the "great one" (Ishu) to help me If you had up to £500 to spend on a new laptop, what would you buy? I'm in the market for a new one. Would love to have a MacBook Pro but can't afford one and not convinced it would run FM2011 well in 3D. I want to be able to play FM2011 with the 3D match engine. I just need a couple of suggestions. There is too much choice. Thanks Ishu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariztonj729 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Just purchased new laptop and eager to start new game!

Riks Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi, I was hoping someone could help. I'm wanting to buy a desktop computer and would very much like to get back into football manager. I haven't been able to play for years due to a rubbish laptop! I just dont know what desktop to get as they vary so much in price, etc, it's a bit of a mindfield for me. I primarily will be doing work on the pc and internet browsing. The only game I am likely to play is football manager but I want a pc that can last and handle the game because I have been told the more you play the more room is used up on the computer so I need a desktop that can handle this. I hope someone can help advice me what to buy. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yugo23 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Difference between Sandy Bridge and older i5/i7 CPUs seems really big. Can't wait for the results of Bulldozer CPUs, before I decide which one to get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
x42bn6 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Difference between Sandy Bridge and older i5/i7 CPUs seems really big. Can't wait for the results of Bulldozer CPUs, before I decide which one to get. Given AMD's recent history, I wouldn't hold my breath that much... Whilst I think AMD Bulldozer can certainly challenge Intel's i3 range, I suspect Intel will have the edge in the i5/i7 region. The days when Athlon 64 was awesome are unfortunately very distant now... Granted, of course, it's a new architecture, but they will really need to pull something special out of the hat to challenge Sandy Bridge's efficiency and value-for-money.

WoGBoYz Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hey guys, seeking your expertise regarding malware and its removal... Earlier today my wife was browsing the net and a popup appeared saying it was MS Removal software and the PC had 38 trojan's/virus/etc. Anyway, unfortunately she clicked on run scan and then the PC was infected with the virus (at the time I was running microsoft security essentials virus protector & it did nothing). Anyway, I booted back into safe mode and I deleted the .exe file and it's folder from the program data folder (running win 7) and then I restarted and the popup wasn't coming up anymore. So I installed ZoneAlarms Extreme Security. I've run a virus scan and zonealarms is saying nothing is there, but I wanted to ask my friends here if I still have to delete it from the registry/somewhere else on the pc or if zonealarms is saying there is nothing it is ok? Do I need a registry clearer or anything or should the PC be fine now? Any thoughts or input would be apprecaited Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoGBoYz Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 btw, apologies for the post being non-fm related (although if there is something still there it could stop me playing fm properly..) but I immediately thought that you guys were the right people to ask for guidance in this matter.

Ishu Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Lenovo's CPU is better than Acer's. Do you need dedicated GFX? If not, get the £480 one. The integrated can easily run FM 3D on high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
