Known for high VRAM consumption, this game can easily saturate 8GB cards with its detailed textures. 16GB of system RAM is the minimum, with 32GB being ideal for a stutter-free experience in the open world.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 127 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 101 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 69 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 105% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1080 Ti) for Hogwarts Legacy. The Core i9-13900H is 55% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700).
The Core i9-13900H sets the FPS ceiling at 1440p (low/high/ultra), 4k low, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at all 1080p settings, 1440p medium, 4k (medium/high/ultra).
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
This CPU/GPU pair is mostly balanced in Hogwarts Legacy. Across tested presets: GPU limits in 0/12, CPU limits in 0/12, and balanced in 12/12. Peak observed performance in the sampled cells is around 226 FPS.
The Core i9-13900H and GeForce RTX 4090 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 55% above and your GPU is 105% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Core i9-13900H paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Hogwarts Legacy smoothly up to 4k achieving around 69 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 105% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 55% above the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Hogwarts Legacy, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core i9-13900H is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1440p low, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low.
Hogwarts Legacy does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Hogwarts Legacy requires at minimum a Core i5-6600 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 960 (GPU) with 16 GB RAM and 85 GB (SSD) storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-8700 and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti with 16 GB RAM. Your Core i9-13900H and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Hogwarts Legacy FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
