Performance Analysis
NVIDIA RTX 3090 is estimated around 160 FPS at 1080p high in Football Manager 2024. At 1440p, that typically translates to around 119 FPS with similar quality targets. This places the card in the enthusiast tier for this title, with a high refresh experience profile. NVIDIA RTX 3090 delivers high-refresh class performance in Football Manager 2024, especially with a competitive or high preset.
Football Manager 2024 is a management simulation with very low base hardware requirements. Almost any modern PC can run the 2D match engine smoothly. GPU requirements only become relevant for the optional 3D match engine, where a GTX 1660 or RX 590 is recommended for high-quality rendering.
NVIDIA RTX 3090 supports DLSS 3 with Frame Generation in compatible titles. In games like Football Manager 2024 that support it, Frame Generation can push perceived frame rates well beyond the base estimate above — particularly useful at 1440p where the GPU is more heavily loaded.
- Enable low-latency mode and cap FPS close to your monitor refresh for steadier frame pacing.
- Ray tracing can be enabled with quality upscaling for a good visual/performance balance.
- 1440p: High settings, use Quality upscaling only if needed
Bottom line: Football Manager 2024 on NVIDIA RTX 3090 is high refresh, and optimization has a measurable impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a gaming GPU for Football Manager 2024?
- For the standard 2D match view and management screens, any integrated graphics solution — including Intel HD Graphics or AMD Radeon integrated — will run FM 2024 without issue. A dedicated GPU is only relevant if you use the 3D match engine at high quality settings. Even then, a GTX 1050 Ti or RX 570 provides a smooth experience at 1080p. Football Manager is one of the friendliest games for budget and office PCs.
- Does more RAM help Football Manager simulation speed?
- Yes. FM 2024’s simulation speed (how fast in-game days pass during processing) is primarily CPU and RAM dependent. With a large save file (many leagues loaded), 8 GB RAM is the minimum for acceptable simulation speed. 16 GB provides a noticeable boost, and 32 GB further improves processing times when running 5+ leagues simultaneously. An NVMe SSD also accelerates the autosave and load times meaningfully in large database saves.
