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, frame rates range from 11 to 21 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 8 to 16 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 5 to 11 FPS.
The GeForce 800M is 94% below minimum GPU requirement for Hogwarts Legacy. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 94% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700).
The GeForce 800M sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the GeForce 800M sets the ceiling at about 21 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 208 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 90% (FPS gap: 187 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce 800M is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 90% | GPU Limits CPU 90% | GPU Limits CPU 90% | GPU Limits CPU 89% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 88% | GPU Limits CPU 89% | GPU Limits CPU 90% | GPU Limits CPU 90% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 85% | GPU Limits CPU 86% | GPU Limits CPU 87% | GPU Limits CPU 88% |
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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce 800M will struggle to run Hogwarts Legacy at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 11 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
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 GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce 800M is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited 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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
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.
