Recommended settings for FIFA 09 [Demo at first]

[samueljuarezf]

Well boys, I began this thread 'cause many of us maybe don't want to download the demo if don't work with their PC's, so, I suggest everyone who downloaded, install and played with FIFA 09, to give us feedback of the settings, processor, memory, graphic card and all the stuff they have and if the demo works or doesn't work with their computers.

For me, the demo works as heaven, and I have this settings

HP Pavillion DV2726la
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 1.67Ghz
Memory RAM: 2gb
Video card: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 @ 358mb
Windows Vista Premium Edition

When I use everything high settings, after 5 games, the computer starts to get a little bit laggy and slow, but still fine gameplay. That's my feedback and thanks in advance!

This is my system, game looks and runs poorly wether it is in High or Low quality. I am not sure if investing in a card will do the trick or adding some memory or buying a new CPU.

2.2-GHz Athlon 64 3500+ CPU
1GB of DDR400 SDRAM
250GB hard drive

All high

Run very good with everything in high.

 

[Spaceace]

Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 2.4GHz

Works ok, i'm on 60 fps most of the times but drop to 56-57 sometimes.

 

[fox_lav]

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2Ghz
3GB Ram
ATI Radeon 2400 256mb

All on high

runs fine but on replay's it skips. I think it is because of the 3D Grass although my specs should run it fine.

im using windows xp book camp on mac with

2gb ram

A video card (pretty much any video card, really) should really improve your system's performance when you're gaming.

I'm sorry if this is a bit unrelated but I don't understand why they don't try to work with the makers of the Madden series. Madden games of the same year run much better than FIFA games with fewer issues related to the difficulty of opponents. I think the Madden series has a much better manager mode season and taking a page out of their book wouldn't be a bad idea.

I know not everyone enjoys American Football but nevertheless if you look at the realism of the game, madden is simply much much better.
