Hey guys, hope you all are well

I realise this is such a newbie question, but can the below spec PC run FM19 smoothly enough?

Processor - Intel® Core™ i3-8130U Processor
- Dual-core
- 2.2 GHz / 3.4 GHz
- 4 MB cache
RAM - 4 GB DDR4 (2400 MHz)
- 8 GB maximum installable RAM
Storage 1 TB HDD (7200 rpm)
Intel Optane 16 GB


Failing that, what do you guys recommend from experience?

Thanks

I dont have much knowledge in PC hardware. I have an Surface laptop with an I7 processor and 8GB internal, so that is fine. Also enough diskspace. But I am in doubt of the graphics. There is an Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 in it. Don't know whether that meets the requirements. Anybody?

I have a 8 year old laptop samsung i5 2nd generation with 6gb ram, 2.2ghz and is probably worse than your newer machine.

It has run all previous football managers fine. Also tried this years for a test and it was ok. 3d is a bit laggy and on the low graphic settings.

I think you should be able to run the game, it just depends on how many leagues you setup. Of course if you opt to use many leagues it will be a little slower (and will it will tell you it may struggle), less leagues a little faster. Saying that I have lots of leagues switched on for mine and the main issue is 3d games where it is a little slow but gameplay is fine (not too long waits between continue)

My laptop also does not have a dedicated graphics card but a built in one. If you want to get the full enjoyment of 3d then i suggest getting a good graphics card

I can't say for definite but I think it should be ok, only 4gb ram and i3 might be a little problem so potentially a little slower to play (and means you cannot have much else open in the background). Although it looks like a new machine so really it should not be a huge problem

If you are looking for recommendations then I suggest 8gb ram, a graphic card for 3d (gtx nvidia 1050, 1050ti, 1060) and possibly i5-i7 processer

Is it possible to still download the demo? If so, I suggest trying this and see how it works

Thnx, so that will do. My surface has an I7 and 8GB, SSD disk. So maybe the videocard is laggy, but I dont mind the 3d gameplay. Thanks, think after years, I will buy the game again!
I minimize my playable leagues which seems to help speeds things up if playing a multiple seasons game.
