LAGGING/FPS DROP ISSUE ON NVIDIA GTX 1650

CPU: Ryzen 5 460OH

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (4GB VRAM)

RAM: 16GB - DDR4 3200MHZ

Storage: SSD

OS: Windows 11

Issue Description:

I am experiencing consistent, severe performance issues in EA SPORTS FC 26. While the game menus and lobby run smoothly, the frame rate drops significantly—often to 5–17 FPS—as soon as a match begins. This behavior occurs across all game modes, including Kick Off, Career Mode, and Ultimate Team. During these drops, my GPU utilization hits 100%, suggesting a potential rendering or optimization bug affecting GTX 16-series GPUs.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken (Already Attempted):

Updated to the latest NVIDIA Game Ready Drivers (and performed clean installations).

Verified game files through [Steam/Epic Games]

Tested various in-game graphics settings (Low, Medium, Off).

DisablEd all overlays and background applications.

Cleared the DirectX Shader Cache and reset game settings.

Additional Context:

Other games run perfectly on this system; this performance degradation is unique to EA SPORTS FC 26. It feels like the game is not respecting the chosen graphics settings during match rendering.

Request:

Could you please investigate this optimization issue for GTX 1650 users? I am happy to provide a DxDiag report if needed for further troubleshooting.
