This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k medium, the Ryzen 5 5600G sets the ceiling at about 55 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 83 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 34% (FPS gap: 28 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Ryzen 5 5600G is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 19% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 18% | CPU Limits GPU 18% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 10% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 33% | CPU Limits GPU 34% | CPU Limits GPU 33% | CPU Limits GPU 32% |
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 5600G paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Hogwarts Legacy smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 83 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 105% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 11% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1809 ($160 CPU (Rank #123 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For Hogwarts Legacy, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 5 5600G 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: 1080p high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Yes! Hogwarts Legacy supports DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF, and your GeForce RTX 4090 is compatible with DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 2x-3x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
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 5600G 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.
