This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p medium, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER sets the ceiling at about 85 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 266 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 68% (FPS gap: 181 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 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 62% | GPU Limits CPU 68% | GPU Limits CPU 67% | GPU Limits CPU 68% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 60% | GPU Limits CPU 65% | GPU Limits CPU 67% | GPU Limits CPU 67% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 64% | GPU Limits CPU 67% | GPU Limits CPU 64% | GPU Limits CPU 65% |
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 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER can run Hogwarts Legacy smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 64 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 5% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $664 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $280 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti for around $599 (Rank #37 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Hogwarts Legacy, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 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 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 2080 SUPER is compatible with FSR 3 Frame Gen. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 1.5x-2x 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 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 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.
