    Add in a couple more Nvidia specific changes to make it much smoother:

    Same steps as original commenter:

    1. Open Nvidia Control Panel
    2. Manage 3D Settings
    3. Program Settings
    4. Add
    5. Find and Select "eadesktop.exe"

    Options to change for EA Desktop specifically:

    1. Monitor Technology
      1. Fixed Refresh
    2. Max Frame Rate
      1. Just below your monitors max (143 for a 144hz monitor)
    3. Preferred Refresh Rate
      1. Application-controlled
    4. Vertical Sync
      1. Off or Fast

    Apply all changes in Nvidia Control Panel and restart the EA Desktop App.

    For me personally: these changes force the EA Desktop App to run at my monitors max refresh rate (1440p 144hz)
