Answers the age old question of "if money was no object what setup could run all leagues on full detail?" that answer being none. Unless you have the patience of a saint. It might be quicker but it is no less painful Also considering this is Year 0 so not much match/stat data in the save yet, and not even the transfer window was processed. So it will be about 55min processing for my PC to do the transfer window as a rough guesstimate. For FM18, I am thinking to add some files to do benchmarks with that are 5 seasons into a save, that way people can get an idea of how a computer will perform on a new save compared to one several years in.

All leagues from Top 10 nations) Anything else people think should be added or tweaked?

I'd like the information to be a better reference for players to use for setting up games or researching computer upgrades with FM in mind. Great stuff . I've been considering an upgrade to Ryzen, but with the posted results I'm now leaning more toward an i5 7600k. I ran the tests with my current set up (below for reference) and the 7600k seems to give more bang for the buck.

herne79 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Further to my test above with the 3570k, I've now taken delivery of a Ryzen 5 1600, so thought I'd post some feedback on this new chip. TL;DR - Test A: 4 min 34 sec Test B: 8 min 26 sec So an improvement. PC specs: Computer type: Custom desktop CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 CPU Frequency: a small overclock to 3600 MHz (3200 is base). It should be fine beyond that, but I'm not pushing hard plus BIOS is constantly being updated to improve performance and the RAM is causing some compatibility issues. RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2666 MHz CL16. It's actually running at 2166 MHz due to compatibility issues (BIOS updates being worked on). I'm changing this RAM to 16GB 3000 MHz and will test when it arrives. OS: Win 10 64-bit Storage: SSD Interestingly all 6 cores the Ryzen CPU comes with were rarely put to use. Typically just one core was working at a time, with all 6 spinning up very infrequently, and then only for a few seconds before reverting back to a single core. CPU voltages were all fine, maxing out at 1.24v. Temperature peaked at 56C, but only for the few seconds when all 6 cores were in use. Typical temps were around 45C, with CPU fan speed c.850 RPM and practically inaudible (using the stock Wraith Spire cooler). If I was building the PC only for FM I'd probably still look at Intel's offerings due to single core speed, but the PC is for much more than just FM (and gaming) and I'm pleased with the overall improvements for FM seen here . The new RAM when it arrives should make a small a difference and there's certainly more scope for a higher overclock if I really feel the need (which I don't).

I bought this CPU because it is quite cheap (I live in Hong Kong and bought the CPU online from China (around GBP 43) , as X4 950 is not available in Hong Kong) . The B350 mobo and DDR4 memory allows me to upgrade to Ryzen in the future. AMD Athlon X4 950 (identical to a A10 - 9700 without GPU) performance on FM 2017 is quite bad comparing to G4560 / G4600 (similar passmark score).

yezzko Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hi, from the result table is clear that fm is not very good at using multiple cores/threads when playing the game without full detail. Since I play usually with major leagues on full detail ( because i want to have stats as accurate as possible) I would like to ask you guys if it would be possible for you to make a new test with let's say 10 leagues on full detail. I would like to see some results from Ryzen cpu's so that i can decide to buy it instead of overpriced intel cpu's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be doing some trial tests when the demo comes out, I am still thinking up some better scenarios to test. I think @yezzko makes a good point, adding a save for testing with all top 5 leagues on full detail with 20 leagues loaded (for example). I am also thinking that dropping the 'transfer window' tests and replace it with a different scenario as on average (for most builds) processing a transfer window week is approximately 50% slower than a normal week. So a rule of thumb can be used there, that is if in the next FM processing follows the same pattern on a trial test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The default settings have most competitions in any game us the using quick match engine, this is made up of much less complex systems for AI tactics, team selection & result generation, it is much less demanding on the cpu but at the cost of a truly realistic simulation of football. If you change the match detail settings to full the game then uses the 90 minute match engine to generate results & AI managers make more complex decisions in regards to tactics & team selection but it has a high processing cost & lower end cpu's simply wont cut it. What this means is that those users who have a cpu with a larger number of cores are able to access & enjoy the more realistic experience with a reduced processing time penalty than a user who has a cpu with fewer cores but higher clock rate.
