Can you run Hogwarts Legacy? PC requirements and settings
Hogwarts Legacy, by Avalanche Software (Action, Adventure, RPG), came out on Steam on February 10, 2023.
Here are the official specs, and what they mean on the most common graphics cards.
Publisher's recommended cardNVIDIA GeForce 1080 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or INTEL Arc A770
Minimum cardNVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB or AMD Radeon RX 470 4GB
Recommended RAM16 GB
Our conservative estimate60 fps at 1080p, high settings, with a GeForce RTX 4060
Estimate per graphics card
Which settings to aim for with your card
For each card: the highest settings level that stays smooth, and the expected frame-rate
range. This is a conservative estimate worked out from the publisher's recommended specs, not a
measurement: your processor, drivers and game updates move it.
Without DLSS, FSR or frame generation: turning them on raises the frame rate noticeably
when the game offers them.
Best settings
Best graphics settings for Hogwarts Legacy by graphics card
The setting ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick to play at 60 frames per second: the
best-looking detail level that stays smooth, with upscaling when it lets you go one step up (DLSS
on GeForce RTX, XeSS on Intel Arc, FSR on other cards). If Hogwarts Legacy doesn't offer it, use the
level from the previous table.
| Graphics card | 1080p | 1440p |
| GeForce RTX 5070 | High97–133 fps | High63–86 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4070 | High84–116 fps | High + DLSS Quality74–101 fps |
| Radeon RX 7800 XT | High92–127 fps | High60–82 fps |

| GeForce RTX 3070 | High66–91 fps | High + DLSS Quality58–79 fps |
| Intel Arc B580 | High56–78 fps | Medium + XeSS Quality64–89 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4060 | High + DLSS Quality74–102 fps | Medium + DLSS Quality62–86 fps |
| Radeon RX 7600 | High + FSR Quality71–98 fps | Medium + FSR Quality60–83 fps |
| GeForce RTX 3060 | High + DLSS Quality63–86 fps | Medium + DLSS Balanced58–81 fps |
| Radeon RX 6600 | High + FSR Quality58–81 fps | Medium + FSR Balanced55–75 fps |
| GeForce GTX 1660 Super | Medium + FSR Balanced58–81 fps | Low + FSR Performance57–79 fps |
At these levels, ORION keeps textures on high from 8 GB of video memory (they cost memory,
hardly any frames), sets the frame cap on the target for steady pacing, turns off motion blur and
film grain, and leaves vertical sync off. This is a conservative estimate, not a measurement: in
ORION, the first measured session corrects the setting.

How are these estimates worked out?
The publisher's
recommended specs are the reference point (about 60 frames per second at 1080p on high
settings, unless the publisher says otherwise). Each card's power is compared with the
recommended card (the average when the publisher names several), then adjusted to the screen
resolution. A low margin is kept, and less video memory than recommended drops one level.
