Most unusual issue in FIFA 17—works fully across all 8 cores with i7-4790K
Most unusual issue in FIFA 17—works fully across all 8 cores with i7-4790K
I thought it was a glitch. I played the game for three days without any problems. Then, one night I tried again and the performance dropped to less than 12fps. I ran standard diagnostics—cleaned drivers, verified no recent patches, checked HWmonitor. Wow! All eight cores reached full capacity during play. At 4K resolution, my GPU usage stayed around 60%. I even tried 1080p just to be safe, and it performed the same. The most frustrating part was that my ID had been playing smoothly for three days with no changes whatsoever—no OS updates, no game updates, no hardware modifications. What’s odd is that after looking into it, FIFA 15 had a similar issue on other users’ systems. Since it used a different engine, I suspect the problem might be linked to Origin itself, even though I disabled the overlay. It seems like this could be a broader issue affecting many players.
The CPU features only four cores, not eight. Searching for this information has revealed many comparable answers. Have you explored any available fixes?
Have you actually tested them? Usually solutions for games depend on the version being used.
I’ll share a typical solution that might seem unrelated but is common in FIFA. No matter your refresh rate, if FPS exceeds it, the game will behave oddly and stutter. The best fix is to turn on VSync fully. For your specific issue, I’d suggest removing the FIFA folder from your Documents folder, since uninstalling doesn’t delete it.
