FC 26 – Severe FPS Drop on First Match (GPU Stuck at 100% / Low Watt )

Since FC 26 Beta until now, I have a severe performance issue ONLY on EA Sports FC 26.

When I enter the very first match (Kick-Off / any mode), right after the loading screen finishes and the match intro starts:

- GPU usage jumps to 100%
- BUT GPU wattage stays low (20–30W only)
- FPS becomes 8–10 FPS and the game is unplayable
- I must exit the match and re-enter 2 or 3 times until it works normally

**After that, all matches work fine.**  
This ONLY happens on the FIRST match, every time I launch the game.

I already:
✔️ Updated NVIDIA drivers  
✔️ Updated Windows 11 / BIOS  
✔️ Reinstalled the game  
✔️ Deleted shader cache & profile data  
✔️ Tried DX11 / DX12  
✔️ Tried all graphic presets  
✔️ Checked thermals – all good

**All other games work perfectly:**
Battlefield 6, Battlefield 2042, Hitman 3, FC 25, RDR2 – no issues at all.

So this is clearly a GAME BUG in match loading / shader build process for EA FC 26 – especially on RTX 3050 laptops with Ryzen CPUs.

My specs:
- ASUS TUF A15 – FA506NCR
- Ryzen 7 7435HS
- RTX 3050 4GB
- 24GB RAM
- Windows 11 (up to date)

Please forward this to the dev team, we really need a fix.  
A lot of people have the same issue since Beta – we cannot enjoy the game like this.
