Hi,
I get constant micro-stutter in FC 27 on PC, mostly in online matches. The game feels smooth when play is slow. As soon as play speeds up (counter-attacks, quick passing), the game stops being fluid: it stutters, sometimes freezes for a split second, then speeds up / fast-forwards to catch up. It happens at kick-off too. It makes the game really hard to play. Offline vs AI it happens less, but it is still there.
PC specs
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080 10 GB – driver 617.42
- RAM: 32 GB DDR4 (2×16 GB, dual-channel, slots A1/B1) running at 3200 MHz (XMP/DOCP 3600 not stable)
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) – BIOS 3636 (latest)
- Storage: WD_BLACK SN850X 1 TB NVMe (PCIe 4.0 x4), firmware 620361WD (latest)
- OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2
- Monitor: MSI MAG 27CQ6F 1440p 180 Hz (DisplayPort, G-SYNC Compatible on) + second monitor Samsung 60 Hz (sometimes disabled with Win+P)
- Network: Wi-Fi – ping to router 1 ms, to 8.8.8.8 9–11 ms, 0% packet loss
In-game settings
- Fullscreen, 2560×1440, 180 Hz
- Frame rate limiter ON – 120 FPS (also tried 177)
- VSync OFF (G-SYNC on in NVIDIA Control Panel)
- Cinematic performance: 100% (was 50%, which capped me at 60 FPS)
- Render scale 100, Dynamic resolution OFF
- Graphics preset: NVIDIA App “Optimize” / previously High
- Cloth quality: […]
- Ray-traced ambient occlusion: […]
Performance during matches (NVIDIA overlay)
- 110–130 FPS average, but 1% lows drop to ~20–40 FPS
- GPU 60–65% at the 120 cap (≈97% when uncapped)
- CPU 30–45%, temps fine (GPU ~65 °C)
What I already tried
- Updated BIOS, SSD firmware, NVIDIA drivers
- Set monitor to 180 Hz in Windows and in-game, G-SYNC on, low-latency mode on
- Lowered FPS cap from 177 to 120
- Disabled dynamic resolution, cinematic performance set to 100%
- Closed background apps (browser, Discord, Docker)
- Network test: no packet loss, stable low ping
Is this related to the known issues (Cloth Quality / Frame Rate Limit after switching monitors)? Is there a fix or workaround planned for this stutter + fast-forward behaviour? Any extra info you need (logs, DxDiag, EA Connection Report), just tell me.
Thanks!
