PC Madden 26 MUT lag issue

Thanks for the response. I opened up tower and double checked and I actually have a 5070 base, which is 12. Do you really think that 4gb vram is causing the issues? Also, what are the symptoms you are sure that branch from VRAM. Last year I ran 25 on a 2060 laptop graphics card great. So I’m a little confused on why you needed to upgrade last year. 

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that seems like a vram issue. If you have the base model 5060, that only has 8gb of vram. 8gb of vram is "suggested" but still not enough from my experience. I used a 3070ti (8gb VRAM) last year in madden 25 and experienced the same issues. I switched to a 5070ti this year with 16gb of VRAM and the problem has almost entirely gone away. I would suggest trying to sell your 5060 and upgrade to a 5060ti 16gb. It's still affordable but that 16gb of VRAM is almost necessary now for AAA gaming imo. Idk if it will help much, but make sure to lower your settings. I would suggest going to AI and asking them to help you optimize madden 26 for your gpu/cpu combo and they'll suggest the best settings to run for top performance. But really, the easiest solution will be upgrading to 16gb of VRAM. If you're not married to Nvidia you can try the 12gb VRAM Intel GPUs or AMD 9060 XT 16GB, 9070 or 9070XT. All these options are much more affordable compared to Nvidia, especially considering the state of GPU/RAM retail market right now. At the bare minimum, check the prices today to compare to future and see if you can get a prime day deal (confirmed to be in June) or wait for black Friday or cyber Monday.
