Re: Severe FPS Drops (5-10 FPS) in every game mode, even in Menus

Hello,

I’ve been experiencing severe FPS drops and GPU spikes in EA Sports FC 26 on PC. The game runs smoothly for a few matches, but after certain scenes (like halftime, menus, or cutscenes), FPS suddenly drop to single digits and the GPU gets stuck at 100%, forcing me to restart the game.

I’ve already tried every possible fix — clean driver installation (DDU), older NVIDIA drivers (552.44), high-performance settings in Windows and NVIDIA Control Panel, disabling V-Sync in-game and enabling it in the driver, lowering resolution, and adjusting power and thermal settings. Nothing resolves the issue.

It seems like a problem with the Frostbite engine or a memory/driver loop specific to FC26, since other games run perfectly on the same hardware (RTX 3050 Ti, i5-11400H, 16 GB RAM).

Please forward this to the technical team — many PC users are reporting the same issue. We need an urgent patch or official workaround.

Thank you.
