With the allow transfer budget unticked that shouldn't be the case though.

Exactly.

I've tested this 8 times now and had everything from 3.34 up to 21.47, on full detail.

Minimum detail also saw times from 2.58 through 12.14.

There's all kindsa stuff gong on, with number of friendlies having a clear effect.

All kind of irrelevant really, particularly since my setup seems persistently more stable and responsive than many prebuilt Quad Cores.



Koinda depends on what I'm doing at the time, but that said, the laughable declarations of discontent simply smack of Quad Core owners being disgruntled at a Dual Core outperforming them.

No-way can i believe 3mins on McDoul's setup.
Up to you mate, not for you to believe is it?

It's there as a statement of fact, I've no need of lying, and with so many variables in hand it's impossible to see why your's seems so slow.

I should mention I've got WMP11, Outlook, Sidebar, Last.fm, and 7 or 8 IE Tabs on the go for some of the slower times.

Q6600 runs much hotter than E6850 and is only 2.4GHz per core with FM not exactly threading well on multicore CPU's.

CAS 3 RAM as well? Interleaved? Manual settings or auto? Memory remap enabled for 64bit? 4x1 or 2x2 sticks? Motherboard? Bus Bandwidth? What are your Northbridge BIOS settings?

Yeah, not the cut and dried case some of you think it is.

Also what stepping are all your Q6600's? Are they thermal efficient models?

List goes on tbf.

Okey, I just ran this test again and to everyones suprise the result was: 16m 32s. This was with a new game, so it really dosen't make a big difference running the same test twice.

So have everyone who has run this test, have the preset configurations for club competitions and international competitions set for maximum? Because only by doing this the results can be compared.

Setting the presets to maximum every single match, including friendlies, reserves and U18 matches are being played full-detail, so its just simply not possible to run this test in 3min.

Clearly tho it is.

I'll put it down to FM havng a moment, but it's still done better that 16 mins on 4 occasions in full detail.

Love the way your choosing to forget that you have half the RAM I have have avoided answering any of the questions above.

On some of these faster ones I've barely seen any friendlies processed, luck of the draw tbh, not remotely scientific or even reliable.
