How to troubleshoot EA SPORTS FC™ 27 PC performance issues

1 min read

Overview

If EA SPORTS FC™ 27 gameplay feels slow, choppy, or inconsistent on PC, your system performance may be affecting gameplay. Try these steps if you notice delayed inputs, stuttering, or slow-motion gameplay, even when your network connection is stable.

What do PC performance issues look like?

A PC performance issue can impact how responsive or smooth gameplay feels.You may notice:
  • delayed inputs, including when playing offline or with low network latency
  • gameplay moving in slow motion even when your average frames per second (FPS) looks normal
  • periodic stuttering or sudden frametime spikes.
These issues can be related to your graphics settings, display resolution, background applications, drivers, power settings, hardware, or system memory configuration.

How to troubleshoot PC performance issues

Try these steps in order and double check your gameplay after making each change.
  1. 1
    Lower your target frame rate. For example, try changing from 60 FPS to 30 FPS.
  2. 2
    Reduce demanding graphics settings, including graphics quality and resolution.
  3. 3
    Close background applications that are using your CPU, GPU, or memory. This can include browsers, overlays, recording tools, launchers, and other apps.
  4. 4
    Check whether your system memory (RAM) is running in dual-channel mode.
  5. 5
    Update your GPU drivers.
  6. 6
    Check your PC's performance settings, including Windows power mode, laptop performance mode, and your GPU control panel settings.

How can RAM impact EA SPORTS FC™ 27 performance?

Your PC's memory configuration can affect gameplay performance and stability.One possible cause of poor or unstable performance is running your system memory in single-channel mode instead of dual-channel mode.Dual-channel memory can provide more memory bandwidth. On some systems, this may improve performance and reduce stuttering.Your PC may be running in single-channel mode if it only has one RAM stick or if its RAM isn't installed in a configuration that supports dual-channel mode.

How to check if RAM is running in dual-channel mode

The steps for checking and changing your memory configuration depend on your PC.
  1. 1
    Check your PC or motherboard documentation to find the recommended RAM configuration.
  2. 2
    Use your system BIOS/UEFI or a hardware information tool to check whether your memory is running in single-channel or dual-channel mode.
  3. 3
    If you have multiple RAM sticks, check your PC or motherboard documentation to make sure they’re installed in the recommended slots.
  4. 4
    If you have one RAM stick, check your PC or motherboard manufacturer’s specifications to see which memory configurations your system supports.
If your system is running in single-channel mode, using compatible RAM in a dual-channel configuration may improve performance and reduce stuttering.Before adding or moving RAM, check your PC or motherboard manufacturer’s instructions. The correct RAM type, number of modules, and memory slots depend on your system.

What if your connection is causing the issue?

Slow or delayed gameplay isn't always caused by your PC's performance.If you're having problems like high ping, packet loss, jitter, or online disconnections, check your Connection Quality and try our connection troubleshooting steps.
