Championship Manager 2010 - System Requirements

[Cappo Smiffy]

As the will appear on the back of the box:

Operating System: XP with Service pack 2 or Vista
Processor: Intel 3GHz P4 or dual core intel / AMD equivalent
Memory: 1Gb
Graphics: Direct X 9 compatible. 128 Mb nVidia FX5600, ATi Radeon 9800 or equivalent
Soundcard: Direct X 9.0c compatible
Hard Drive: 3Gb + additional space required for CM Season Live™

In the event you have a below specs machine and can't run the 3D engine, you can change your preferences in order to display the isometric view (cones) or 2D.

[MiLko-LFC]

Are these minimum or recommended?

[Cristianokc]

Probably recommended.

[Cristianokc]

Sorry for the double post. If I have a dual core with 1.78 ghz, that should work as well as that one you posted right?

I think it should. The main thing is your RAM memory and graphic card. I can perfectly run Pro Evolution Soccer which has also pretty high minimum requirements, so i think we'll at least can run 2D match engine if not 3D!

[Cristianokc]

My card is pretty run of the mill, but I do have 4GB. I should be ok then.

[shwan]

thanks Cappo

Cool we have the spec now..
Though I guess this is the minimum spec to run the game 100%, this is what mainly written in the back cover usually. P4 is not latest one tbh, neither is XP SP2, so am certain Cappo was talking about minimum spec (wish if he confirm it is the case or not)

RAM wise, it can’t be the same for Vista & XP, like FM I guess it is Vista who take up 1GB & XP sure less, but may be 512mb is tight this is why BGS preferred 1GB for both. Anyway Ram are not that expensive tbh

This spec fit well with my current Desktop but not my laptop

Apologies for my ignorance, but does the processor make a significant difference to the speed this sort of game can run? I have 2 GB of RAM, but the processor speed is only 2GHz. It does actually run the FM09 3D Engine okay. Any advice gratefully received!

[Ultra_Manager08]

Cheers Cappo!

I think the processor's speed/power is not that significant, especially by this kind of games. I could run FM's 3D match engine with 1,6 Ghz AMD Athlon processor, 1,5 GB of RAM and 512 mb ATI Radeon graphic card. I really don't care that much about 3D match engine that looks awesome to be honest, i really care about new players and all the other thing that BGS team made and what they can be proud of!

[neilly93]

Thanks Milko, will see when the demo comes out I suppose. Hopefully will run ok!

No problem mate, it's something that bothers all of us at the moment!

Hopefully some of the admins from the office can explain it even better than i did.

[Ponting]

Awsome!!!

I have no problem with that! Cheers cappo

[ChampManiac]

i have:

intel p4 2.4 ghz
768mb ram
fx5500

can i run this game ?

[Cappo Smiffy]

To quote a member of production:

"These are the recommended minimum specs, also known as the system requirements"

The terminology is to with the 'games for windows' stuff.

I have a AMD Athlom(tm)64x 2 Dual core processor 6000+ 3.00ghz and 4 gb memory ram, do u think thats enough? Im still not sure about all this stuff

Oh i also have 2 Nvidia 8500 gt graphics cards in my machine

[serji]

I hope I will be able to run

Yep. It is quite enough.

You can run I think, but you may have some issue about performance it may not be smooth.

[JusticeForAll]

First of all, it will be great for Turkish users playing game turkish.I want to thank you cuz of this.I hope you will have the interest that you deserve.
Rest of all, i can't wait anymore mates.I have lost all my patience.I wanna sleep until friday but its impossible after seeing i'm able to play game with my bad pc.
Whatever ill change it in this month.The question i wonder is how much mb have to we download for demo and will be lots of mirrors?

[lennon25]

My processor is AMD Athlon 2650e 1.60ghz and my graphics card is ATI Radeon x1250, do you think it will work?
thanks for any replies in advance.

Surely there'll be mirrors. Even though not officially, users will provide, at least I may provide a mirror. But not sure about its size, maybe Cappo or any other in BGS team can say this.

You may not be able to run it smooth. You have similar system like mine

[lennon25]

Thanks again, it's going to kill me after waiting two years if i can't play it, but at least theres the cones and the 2D option so it ain't too bad i suppose.

Your welcome. Yes at least we'll be able to play it somehow.

[bammy5]

will an intel pentium 2.8 ghz processor do?

Surely will. Processor requirements will do good even it isn't exactly 3ghz.

Ok working in my job in 3d software all the time, I choose all PCs for the office, thus have to use the budget very well to get the best performance from the money, where speed & type of CPU can effect strongly the frame rate of animation, if meshes and textures & DB are enough for 1GB, having 2 or 3 GB Ram will not have almost any effect like the one CPU had. Between I7 Intel & P4, the first can calculate 6 images in same time the last one is able to calculate only one. This can effect your 3d display which gonna look more slower and not smoother as frames gonna be less.

even outside 3d area, Cpu can process more information too faster, so your time from day to day gonna be less with faster & better CPU

yes i'll buy a 1gb ddr ram from hepsiburada.com

Heh. Game will provide you a better computer

[calvincs7]

hey guys im gonna buy this laptop next friday( http://www.scanmalta.com/notebooks-d...NB-L99838)..is it good to run champ manager comfortably ..thanks for the help

[borolad1987]

dose having a quad processer help run the game any good

[andylowe20]

Does any one know the windows base score for this as I think that that would help (certainly myself) to understand if I can play it or not. According to Vista I have a base score of 4 so any game = to or below will play (I think). I just think that this would simplify things as it is 1 number rather than 5. Thanks

[usetheforss]

It should do yeah. I doubt the game will use all four cores though, as is the case with most games these days.

I can't see a specific laptop through that link, could you post the link again?

I'll send our tech guy this way to try getting your query answered tomorrow...

CM2010`s requirements compared to FM09`s aren`t too far off I think, and FM09 has a recommended game score of 3.0 - so I think it`ll be just below that.

You have just made my day pal. My P.C. runs at 3.4 due to the graphics card, once improved should run at +4.0.

Yes surely will do better than dual or one core.

I can't remember but someone from the team said having more cores will process game faster, that means except of playing 1 games each thread you game will process 2-4 games.

[Torres37]

looks good to me.

in demo game will expire on 1 January 2010 like cm 2008?????????

Yes, but you can continue your saved game with the full game version.

Your processor speed is going to affect anything that can't be done by the graphics card. So, AI, match calculations, updating, all that sort of thing. Faster processors will do this faster. It's hard to really gauge how CM will run though. It's always been less intensive than SI's efforts (which is a damned good thing in my book).

I'd imagine that unless CM's match engine is highly processor intensive, which seems unlikely, then you'll mainly be affected by how many leagues you choose to run in your game. Again, assuming CM has gone down the "choose leagues" route.

Thanks Fry, very helpful post!

The PC runs a few leagues in FM09 without any problems, so hopefully it will be the same for CM.

Looking forward to Friday, first venture into CM since the split!

[olivar]

No problem for me

[Buckster99]

Erm how do I find out my systems specs lol

[benzdbest]

would i be able to run the game smoothly on my laptop which has ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, Intel Core Duo T2400 / 1.83 GHz. Thanks guys for your help!!

Go into Control Panel from the Windows Start menu, then click on System. Everything you need will be there.
