Low FPS in FIFA 20 HELP
Low FPS in FIFA 20 HELP
Hi, I'm using my MSI GS65 to play FIFA 19 and 20 Demo. I've got an i7 8750h and a GTX 1070 with max Q settings. My setup is aiming for above 200 frames in ultra graphics mode, but I'm only managing around 100 fps, with dips down to 60 fps often. I increased the FPS setting to try to push it higher.
The demo versions seem to behave like the real games, yet my FPS is significantly lower. On my laptop, other titles like Witcher 3 and PUBG run smoothly at the expected frame rates, but FIFA struggles a lot. This problem also appeared in the Chinese version of FIFA Online that I played. I checked online forums, but no one else seems to have reported this issue.
During gameplay, my CPU stays above 90% utilization while my GPU usage is very low—around 10% for the "copy" category (only 3%) and even less for 3D. My iGPU is at 40%, which I confirmed via Task Manager. I switched to using the dGPU in Windows settings, but it still happens. My CPU throttles a bit, but it reaches about 3.9GHz on all cores, and during FIFA gameplay it drops to 3.75–3.89GHz. My iGPU is at 40% as well. I've changed the Nvidia control panel settings to prioritize the dGPU, yet the issue persists.
My CPU doesn't seem to be a major bottleneck, as it runs Cinebench R15 multi-core with a score around 1100. This suggests the problem isn’t with my processor. I also tried deleting and reinstalling the graphics drivers, but other games still run fine. FIFA's performance is extremely disappointing compared to what I expect.
I suspect the machine thinks it can handle the workload using the iGPU, but it keeps trying to force the dGPU instead. It might be because other titles are more demanding and wouldn't run on the iGPU at all. I don’t think the FPS counter issue is the main problem—there are clear stutters every 10–30 seconds, and the FPS counter works in other games (GeForce Experience).
This is really frustrating. I hope someone can help me out. Thank you for your time!
