On a Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), EA Sports FC 25 runs at roughly 10 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 5FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and EA Sports FC 25 is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 10 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 10 FPS at 1080p and 6 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 3 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 5 | 10 |
| 1440p | 3 | 6 |
| 4K | 2 | 3 |
