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.

    3050Ti as well, fps during the competition 12, max 20, very crazy, set to the lowest setting, really wanted to refund but was refused because I played for several hours before without this symptom, until after 15 hours, the problem occurred.

    The only solution I could find is that if you lower your resolution settings. The GPU usage comes down to 60 or 70%, and I feel it's just an issue with the game for which they would have to roll out an update.
