Hello EA Support Team, I am experiencing severe performance issues while playing FIFA 26 on my MSI laptop even though my device meets the recommended requirements. The game feels unoptimized with stuttering and lag during gameplay. GPU usage drops to 22–27 percent and CPU usage spikes randomly which makes the commentary and gameplay very heavy and not smooth. My cooling system is fine and drivers are fully updated. System specs: MSI laptop, Intel Core i7-12700H, NVIDIA RTX 3070, 16GB RAM, SSD, Windows 11, latest drivers. I have already tried updating and reinstalling GPU and CPU drivers, lowering graphics settings, disabling V-Sync, repairing and reinstalling the game, changing power plans to High and Ultimate Performance, and disabling overlays and background apps. None of these solutions fixed the problem. I believe this may be an optimization issue with FIFA 26 on certain MSI laptops. Please escalate this to the technical team or confirm if an upcoming patch will fix it. I would appreciate any advanced troubleshooting advice. Thank you, Yazan Essam Al-Jariri.
