Football Manager 26 on Radeon RX 6650 XT
Yes. The Radeon RX 6650 XT is well above Football Manager 26's recommended spec. We estimate ~93 fps at 1080p high (range 75–112, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~65 fps on high). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 159 | 111 | 67 |
| medium | 121 | 85 | 51 |
| high | 93 | 65 | 39 |
| ultra | 75 | 52 | 31 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: high preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: low preset
AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 6650 XT back.
- Processor needed for ~93 fps: Ryzen 3 3300X or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 93.
Video memory
- Radeon RX 6650 XT: 8 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in Football Manager 26; usually the cheapest.
