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 158 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 117 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 77 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 105% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1080 Ti) for Hogwarts Legacy. The Ryzen 5 220 is 6% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700).
The GeForce RTX 4090 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 5 220 still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1799. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 158 FPS, equivalent to 0.09 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 92 FPS, while the Ryzen 5 220 has headroom up to 117 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 21% (FPS gap: 25 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 5 220 frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 15% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 21% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 18% | GPU Limits CPU 18% | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 18% |
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, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Ryzen 5 220 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Hogwarts Legacy smoothly up to 4k achieving around 77 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 105% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 6% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1799 ($150 CPU (Rank #15 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 4090 provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Hogwarts Legacy performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
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 Ryzen 5 220 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.
