I am experiencing severe performance issues in FC 26 limited to Ultimate Team. After the latest update the problem worsened: entering a match (and sometimes menus) causes framerate to drop below 10 FPS with heavy stutter and input delay. Previously switching to Windowed/Borderless reduced the issue, but now drops occur even when not in fullscreen.
Troubleshooting I performed:
- Cleared cache and settings (Documents and AppData)
- Disabled overlays
- Repaired/verified files via Steam
- Switched DX11/DX12 via launch options
- Updated NVIDIA drivers
- Forced game to run on dedicated GPU
- Disabled fullscreen optimizations and adjusted GPU control panel settings
- reinstalled the game
System: AMD Ryzen 7, NVIDIA RTX 3050 (laptop), 8 GB RAM, Windows 11.
Many players report the same issue online; some fixed it with these steps, but none worked for me.
I have the same exact specs almost as you and I experienced the same issue, try installing the drivers from nvida gforce app every time before you open the game
and I also suggest performing a clean installation of the driver
