Best NVIDIA Settings for EAFC 26 on High-End PC

[forest raven]

I’m reaching out to get guidance on the optimal NVIDIA graphics settings for my system to achieve the best performance and lowest input lag in EAFC 26.

Here are my PC specifications:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: NVIDIA PNY RTX 5080 16GB
RAM: 32GB PNY XLR8 RGB DDR5 6000MHz
Motherboard: MSI B850M-A WIFI DDR5
Storage: 1TB Crucial P3 Plus NVMe SSD
Cooling: Thermalright Aqua Elite Liquid Cooler
Case Fans: 9x Cataclysm Infinity ARGB

I would like recommendations for:

Optimal NVIDIA Control Panel settings (e.g., Power Management Mode, V-Sync, Low Latency Mode, Shader Cache, etc.) specifically for EAFC 26.
Any additional tweaks or settings that would maximize FPS and minimize input lag.
Whether any settings should be applied globally or on a per-game basis.

Your expert advice would be greatly appreciated as there is so many different YouTube videos out there that basically all say different so I wanted to come to you guys directly. I want to ensure my hardware is fully optimized for competitive gaming.

Thank you for your time and support.

Do nothing. (If you changed any settings in NVIDIA Control Panel, consider reverting them.)

In-game settings lowest possible.

Since you wanted best performance and input lag, it makes sense to simply make sure that the game runs with minimal possible load

If the game becomes ugly, then you slowly increase the offending settings until it no longer looks unpleasant

keep in mind that I'm pretty sure a 5080 is very much overkill for this kind of game

so you might be able to actually get away with higher settings

wouldnt putting high performance power mode n all that help?

it does, in exchange for a massive increase in baseline power consumption
