jimmymcn Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi everyone im thinking about buying a macbook pro and just want to make sure that the game will run smoothly with fm since its the only game I play, I;m mostly worried about the graphic card, will intel HD Graphics 4000 be good enough to run the matches in 3d? I would really appreciate some feedback, specs below 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz 8GB 1600MHz memory 750GB 5400-rpm hard drive1 Intel HD Graphics 4000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted September 12, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2013 Yeah I'm running an Intel HD Graphics 4000 - it runs okay, but really you'll only be able to run in say 2-3 star mode (so Medium). It looks pretty good in that I'd say, but if you want it to run top-end then the card isn't really up to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transk53 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Welcome. If I remember correctly, the IG chipsets may, or will, work. They are not officially suported though. You're machine should be ok i would think. Don't think that 14 will be that much more intensive of Gfx, at least not at the bottom end. EDIT> As above.

cdeacon Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Will FM14 make use of the Retina Display on the Macbook Pro? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
le_crab Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I upgraded my PC for FM13 but bearing in mind it is a desktop and that had a built in Intel HD graphics card not sure which model it is but it was the latest Intel HD one at the time and it works absolutely fine plus I don't think FM even with 3d match engine is the most challenging game for a graphics card to run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To OP: I have the Intel HD Graphics 4600 (Haswell) chipset and can run 3D graphics perfectly. The 4000 series should at least run decently, if not great.

Yeah ok, did not bother to research updates or whatever else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the question is retina or non retina I heard that some stuff looks weird in fm with retina anybody have any experience with that? Thanks for the feedback I have the following spec and it runs many many leagues quickly and the 3D engine is on the top star rating...no issues with Retina resolution what so ever, other than the fact SI have not optimized the game for retina support so you dont get the benefit of the retina sharpness... MacBook Pro 15" with retina display, 2.7GHz quad core i7 ivy bridge, NVidia GeForce GT 650M, 1024 MB vram, 16Gb RAM (1600MHz DDR 3). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hursty2 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 The new tech video says that they've optimised it for Retina displays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begilsson Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Yeah it will work great for a laptop. And the 3d is just a gimmick, so that shouldn't be a problem, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
