What FPS to expect on each tier

EA gives an expected frame rate for each tier, using either its Balanced or Performance graphics mode.

Tier	Mode	Resolution	Preset	Gameplay	Cutscenes
Minimum	Balanced	720p	Low	60 FPS	30 FPS
Recommended	Balanced	1080p	Medium	60 FPS	30 FPS
High	Balanced	1440p	High	60 FPS	30 FPS
High	Performance	1080p	Medium	80 FPS	40 FPS
Ultra	Balanced	4K (2160p)	Ultra	60 FPS	30 FPS
Ultra	Performance	1440p	High	120 FPS	60 FPS

In short, the High and Ultra tiers are aimed at players who want more than 60 FPS in matches, at 80 and 120 FPS respectively.

What the specs mean in practice

Storage: plan for 100 GB of free space. An HDD only meets the Minimum tier. EA strongly recommends an SSD, and Steam lists an SSD as required for the Recommended spec.
Dual-channel RAM: EA now asks for two memory sticks, such as 2 x 4 GB for Minimum or 2 x 16 GB for Ultra. Two sticks can run faster than one stick of the same total size.
Windows 11 for High and Ultra: Windows 10 is listed only for the Minimum and Recommended tiers.
VRAM: the graphics menu has a new VRAM indicator that estimates how much video memory your settings will use. Keep it under your card's limit.
Online connection: a broadband connection is listed on every tier.
Windows only: Steam lists FC 27 for Windows, with no macOS or Linux version.

New PC features in FC 27

New presets: Performance and Balanced graphics modes join the regular quality presets, and you can still change each setting by hand.
Enhanced Ultra Visuals: optional extras beyond the Ultra preset for high-end PCs. They're off by default.
Faster startup: EA cut the number of windows and loading steps when launching on Steam. Its tests showed launch times improving by about 50% on some setups.
Steam Friends: your Steam friends now show up automatically through EA Connect, so you don't need to search for their EA IDs.
New keyboard layouts: two redesigned defaults, WASD and Arrow Keys, with extra shortcuts for tactics. Controls can still be remapped.
CPU load fixes: EA says it worked on cases where high CPU load hurt responsiveness.

Where to get FC 27 on PC

FC 27 Standard and Ultimate Editions are sold on the EA app, Steam and the Epic Games Store. On Steam, the Standard Edition lists at $69.99 and the Ultimate Edition at $99.99 in the US. There's also a free FC 27 Lite download on PC, a preview with select modes such as Kick-Off that you can upgrade later. For what each edition includes, see FC 27 editions compared.

Before you buy, compare your PC with the table above. If your graphics card is older or slower than a GTX 1050 Ti or RX 570, your PC is below EA's minimum spec and smooth performance isn't guaranteed. FC 27 Lite is a free way to test your hardware first.

How to check your PC specs

Press Windows + R, type dxdiag and press Enter. The System tab shows your processor, memory and Windows version.
Open the Display tab in the same window to see your graphics card and its display memory.
Open Task Manager, go to Performance and click Memory. "Slots used" shows whether you have one stick or two.
In Settings, go to System, then Storage to check you have at least 100 GB free on an SSD.

Tips for better performance

Start with the Balanced or Performance mode for your tier, then raise single settings if you have headroom.
Watch the VRAM indicator whenever you change textures or resolution.
Install on an SSD. It's listed for every tier above Minimum.
Use two RAM sticks in the right slots so they run in dual channel.
Leave Enhanced Ultra Visuals off unless your PC beats the Ultra spec.
Close heavy background apps. EA links some responsiveness problems to high CPU load.
Keep Windows and your graphics drivers updated.
