#398748 Help needed with buying a new laptop to play FM
YouReyKarr
It does depend on whether you care about the 3D match engine. From the get go FM is a number crunching game which relies on CPU strength, then you add that these are coming from a database which is loaded into RAM. So the bigger the database the more RAM you're using and the more numbers being crunched. if you add the 3D match engine on top of that you are using the same CPU and RAM to process the graphics too...
Maybe my i7, GTX 1050i, 16GB Behemoth is overkill, but I'd never settle for anything less than an i5 in any build as the i3 may aswell be a celeron. and I would suggest getting 16GB of ram with a min of 8 (especially if you're gonna use graphic packs) if you can get a cheeky mobile GPU with dedicated RAM then you're laughing as you're splitting the load right off the bat.
Just my 2 cent's.
Oh and also, I dislike how much information you can view on 13" displays so opted for a 17" one, which isn't a must and 15" would of been fine. I dread to see an 11" display
#398746 The 1 1/2 * Wonder
YouReyKarr
My top goal scorer of the season with 21 goals was a 1 1/* Scott Wilson. The entire season I had coaches and the assman telling me that he needs to go, that he's only good for the vanarama north/south league and was at max pot. yet carried the team on his back with the goals. Start of the season in League 2 and we struggled in front of goal with a loanee from Southampton, a 4 1/2* speedster with better stats all round including finishing. Bring back on scott, and he gets us our first win bagging himself 2 goals and the POM. Still he's got the lowest rating on the squad and I'm constantly told to dump him.
What is up with this game???
