Ever since the decision was made to bring College Football to PC this year, we've been working hard to deliver the best possible PC experience for the genre-defining title we brought back to the market two years ago. Now, for the first time, the full version of the game is available on PC at launch, day-and-date with our console versions.

College Football is a sport like no other, with the pageantry, chaos and traditions that we all love. Dial up those graphics settings and choose a school as you begin your journey to the NFL. Lock down that 5-star QB and make a run at a National Championship at a smooth 60 FPS in Widescreen. Embarrass your friend in a “friendly” matchup between The Duck and Butch T. Cougar in Mascot Mashup.

No matter how you play EA SPORTS College Football 27, we can't wait to see you on the field!

In this PC Deep Dive we’re going to be breaking down all of the settings options you’ll have available to you when you kickoff your College Football season on PC for the first time.

Display Settings

Window Mode

Choose how the game appears on your screen. Fullscreen uses the entire display and is often best for performance and focus. Borderless Window fills the screen without a window border, making it easier to switch between apps or monitors. Windowed runs the game in a movable, resizable window.

Fullscreen Monitor
Select which connected display the game should use when the window mode is fullscreen. This is helpful for players with multiple monitors, such as a gaming monitor, TV, or streaming setup.

Resolution
Sets the image size the game renders to your display when the window mode is fullscreen. Higher resolutions, such as 1440p or 4K, can make players, uniforms, stadiums, and field details look sharper, but they also require more graphics performance. Lower resolutions can improve frame rate on less powerful systems

Monitor Refresh Rate
Select how often your monitor updates the image each second. Higher refresh rates can make gameplay feel smoother and more responsive, especially if your PC can produce enough frames to match them.

Frame Rate Cap
Sets the maximum frame rate the game will target. A lower limit can reduce hardware load and help keep performance stable. A higher limit can make gameplay feel smoother on high-refresh-rate displays. Auto options use different limits for gameplay and cutscenes, such as Auto (60/30) will run at 60FPS during gameplay and 30FPS during cutscenes, to balance responsiveness and presentation.

Global Visuals
Applies an overall visual quality preset for the game, such as Low, Medium, High, or Ultra. Auto chooses a starting point based on your hardware. When you adjust individual advanced graphics settings, this may change to Custom, which simply means your settings no longer match one of the standard presets exactly.

Cutscene Visuals
Controls the overall visual quality used during non-interactive cinematic moments. This lets you tune cutscenes separately from gameplay, which can be useful if you want smoother on-field action while keeping cinematic moments at higher visual quality.

Advanced Settings

Vsync

Synchronizes the game’s frame output with your monitor to help reduce screen tearing. Turning VSync on can create a cleaner-looking image, while turning it off may reduce input latency depending on your system and display.

HDR
Enables High Dynamic Range when supported by your display and Windows settings. When set to Auto, the game will use HDR if your system is configured for it, delivering brighter highlights, deeper contrast, and more vivid stadium lighting. If HDR is not available, the game will run in standard dynamic range.

Graphics Adapter
Selects which GPU the game uses. This is most useful on laptops or desktops with more than one graphics processor, such as integrated graphics plus a dedicated GPU.

Performance Overlay
Shows a simple frame rate counter. This is useful for checking how smoothly the game is running after changing visual settings.

Raytraced Lighting
Turns advanced lighting on or off for hardware with ray tracing support. When enabled, lighting can appear more realistic, with improved light bounce and stadium illumination. Turning it off uses a simpler lighting approach that can improve performance.

Lighting Quality
Controls the overall detail and accuracy of lighting throughout the game, including stadium lights, sunlight, shaded areas, and how light interacts with players and the field. Higher settings can make the scene look more natural but may reduce performance.

Advanced Hair
Improves the appearance and movement of player hair by using more detailed strand based hair rendering on supported characters. Higher settings can show this effect on more players and with greater fidelity. Lower settings reduce the effect to improve performance.

Sideline Quality
Adjusts the number and quality of characters shown along the sidelines. Higher settings make the stadium environment feel more active and authentic, while lower settings can improve performance by reducing background character detail.

Higher Texture Quality
Uses more detailed textures for surfaces such as uniforms, helmets, field materials, equipment, and stadium elements. This can improve close-up clarity, especially at higher resolutions, but may require more video memory.

Gameplay and Cutscenes Visual Quality Settings

The following options are available for both gameplay and cutscenes. Gameplay settings affect active play on the field, while cutscene settings apply only to non-interactive cinematic moments. This allows players to prioritize smooth gameplay while choosing a different level of visual quality for presentation sequences.

Mesh Quality

Controls the geometric detail of 3D objects such as players, equipment, stadium structures, and field elements. Higher settings improve object detail, especially up close, while lower settings can improve performance.

Crowd Quality
Adjusts the visual detail of the stadium crowd. Higher settings create a more lively game-day atmosphere, while lower settings reduce background detail to help performance.

Shadow Quality
Controls the clarity and detail of shadows from players, stadium structures, goalposts, and other objects. Higher settings create more realistic shadows, while lower settings can improve performance.

3D Grass
Adds individual 3D blades of grass level detail to the field. Turning this on can make the turf look richer and more realistic, while turning it off can improve performance

VFX Quality
Adjusts the quality of visual effects such as impacts, weather-related effects, celebrations, field-level atmosphere, and other presentation elements. Higher settings improve effect detail but may increase GPU load.

Ambient Occlusion
Chooses the method used to add soft contact shadows where objects meet. This helps players, uniforms, equipment, and field details feel more grounded in the scene. SSAO is the more performance-friendly option, while GTAO provides richer depth.

Ambient Occlusion Quality
Sets how detailed the ambient occlusion effect appears. Higher settings improve subtle shadowing around players, turf, equipment, and stadium objects. Turning it off can improve performance but may make the scene look flatter.

Bloom
Controls the glow around bright lights and highlights, such as stadium floodlights, sun glare, and bright reflections on helmets.

Lens Flares
Enables camera-like flare effects when looking toward bright lights or the sun. This can add a more cinematic or broadcast-style feel.

High Res Circular DOF
Enables a higher-quality depth-of-field effect for out-of-focus areas. This is most noticeable during close-ups, replays, and cinematic presentation moments.

Why are there separate gameplay and cutscene options?
Gameplay and cutscenes can have different performance needs. For example, you may want lower gameplay settings to maintain a smoother frame rate during active play, while using higher cutscene settings for replays, team entrances, close-ups, and other presentation moments.
