Severe FPS Drops & GPU Underutilization – EA SPORTS FC 26 (PC)
I’m experiencing severe FPS drops and stuttering in EA SPORTS FC 26 on PC, despite exceeding recommended specs. My setup: i7 11th Gen, RTX 3050 Ti (4GB VRAM), 32GB RAM, NVMe SSD, Windows 11, latest NVIDIA drivers. FPS fluctuate from 150+ down to below 20, with extremely low 1% lows. GPU usage rarely exceeds 60–70% while certain CPU cores spike to 100%, causing bottlenecks. The issue happens both offline and online, especially in cutscenes and with crowd rendering. I’ve tested multiple settings (High/Medium/Low), capped FPS at 60/120, enabled DLSS, and updated all drivers. HWiNFO logs confirm GPU underutilization and CPU peaks. Many players report similar issues, suggesting a PC optimization problem. Could you confirm if this is being investigated and whether patches will address it?
