Graphics Card Problem

[iTomH30]

I'm looking to upgrade my PC so I can run FM on the highest 3D settings without any lag. I currently have a really low standard graphics card (GeForce GT520) and my monitor is 1080p which I think really cuts the FPS down a lot. Would buying a better graphics card improve the 3D? Is there anything I can do with my current system to make it run a lot better?

Yes, graphics will improve the match engine.

A combination of a decent amount of RAM, a fast processor and a good graphics card is the ideal scenario.

Yeah I thought it would improve it. I just have no idea by how much. I don't know what kind of money I'd have to spent to see a massive improvement in the 3D performance you see?

Tough to know, im not hardware expert, but FM is not a particularly demanding PC game in terms of graphics, something midranged at a good price should do the job.

Its a demanding game in terms of ram and processor if you load more leagues and a larger database, the amount of number crunching in in the background is insane.

My previous laptop had 3gb DDR2 Ram, now have a pc with 4GB DDR3, and AMD dual core (with AMD Radeon HD6410) clocking at 2.5 ghz and Win 7 64 bit-also have option to divert resources for gaming and a spare graphics card slot. matchdays are a lot smoother and loading time is faster too-though so far only have English leagues loaded up.

Though I wish to god I was able to access my old save with all the facepacks etc. Have to wait to get a caddy to use the old HDD as external source

It depends on the rest of your computer specs really.

Your CPU could be bottlenecking your system if it's not up to standard.
