Sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue. Hopefully the solutions below will help.
Note: V-Sync with EA FC 26 is often problematic, especially when using borderless display settings.
Possible fixes for low FPS in Ultimate Team (EA FC 26, PC):
1. Reset cache and settings
- Go to Documents\EA Sports FC 26\
- Rename or delete the “Settings” folder so the game creates a fresh config.
2. V-Sync / Frame limiter
- Disable V-Sync both in-game and in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
- Set a manual FPS limit in NVIDIA Control Panel (e.g. 60) and see if it’s more stable.
3. Clean GPU driver reinstall
- Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to fully remove GPU drivers.
- Then install the latest WHQL driver for your GTX 1650.
4. Disable overlays
- Turn off Discord overlay, GeForce Experience overlay, and Xbox Game Bar.
- These often cause stutters or FPS drops in Ultimate Team.
5. Windows Game Mode & background processes
- Enable Game Mode in Windows 10.
- Close MSI Afterburner, RivaTuner, or other monitoring tools before playing.
6. Check DirectX & VC++
- Ensure DirectX 12 and all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables (2010–2022) are installed.
7. Adjust in-game settings
- Turn off crowd detail and dynamic resolution.
- Disable Ray Tracing (if available).
- Test Fullscreen instead of Borderless Windowed.
8. Clear EA App cache
- Path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\Cache
- Delete the contents and restart the EA App.
9. As a last step
- Check if the issue only occurs on UT servers (sometimes temporary).
- If nothing helps, open a ticket at EA Helpdesk: https://help.ea.com

like i get that you put these options here, and i do mean it when i say thank you for trying to help but it is beyond me that you have to try all of this just to play a game you paid 90 euros for (and btw none of this works for me) its their responsibility to make sure that if you put something on the market for that price, or any price even, it just works. and if people start having issues, you fix them. not wait a month because a lot of people have this issue and nothing changed its wild.
