Alright, weve all played Fifa 10.. its **** in the graphics area.
Well i found another post about fifa 09 somewhere and found that it will work on 10 aswell. heres what you gotta do.

Go to EA Sports\Fifa 10\Data\cmn\

Open cfg_pc_h.ini (the 'h' is high quality graphics, so choose the 1s depending on what your settings are at.

Change RENDER_RATE_MODE = 7, to 2 or 3. This will improve performance significantly. Dont go to 1 or the game will go slow motion.

Ok heres the 2nd trick, this will make the players look better from far away and there faces wont look like fifa99.

Open the same file you opened before and scroll down.
Find this:


Ok now highlight this and delete it and replace it with this:


This will make a big improvement.
Enjoy ;D

EDIT: Also try this

go to control panel and open NVIDIA Control Panel
then under '3D Settings' click 'Manage 3D Settings'
and then on select program, click browse and find fifa10.exe

ok now turn most of the things on, if you dont know some things dont turn them on.
Things you should turn on:
Anistrophic filtering
antialiasing - gamma correc.
' ' - mode
' ' - setting
max. pre rendered frames - 2
texture filtering - quality
' ' ' ' - trillnear optimization
triple buffering
vertical sync

[Turn off Deapth of Field for this to work]

(those are the ones i have on, and remember my computer is heaps good so these settings may cause a lag for some people.)

kkur, can you tell me, what the parameters mean? like PLAYER_LOD_NEAR etc.
Thanks before

level of detail

I tried to change the values to be exactly the same with your setting, and yes it looks better, but I feel my player's move seems not smooth, may be because my PC or my GPU 's not strong enough (AMD 64 X2 3000+, NVIDIA 7300GS, almost 2 years old). So what -1.0, 0.1 and 0.01 means? which one loads the GPU more? Can I compromise the setting, tuning down the level of detail a little, to maintain the perform?

Thanks before,
sorry about my bad English

put render rate to 2?
idont know man, ummm try using half of the altered settings on the config and half defult?

I tried but the game is so slow. My conf. is AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2,6 GHz, 2 GB RAM, NVidia Ge Force 9500 GT with new drivers.

try duong's patch.. It uses the same config_h.ini, but somehow it doesnt slow down the game.. And the game's graphics feels better too..

Here are my LOD settings

PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -0.1
PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_FAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_MED_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_SLOW_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_SLOW_FAR = 0.0
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_HIGH_FAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_HIGH_FAR = -1.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_LOW_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.0
PLAYERACCS_LOD_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYERACCS_LOD_FAR = 0.25

as long as you have a good dual core cpu and a good GPU,the above settings make FIFA 10 look sweet with no LOD drop out.
