This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p medium, the Radeon PRO W6600 sets the ceiling at about 55 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 162 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 66% (FPS gap: 107 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon PRO W6600 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 59% | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 59% | GPU Limits CPU 60% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 66% | GPU Limits CPU 64% | GPU Limits CPU 64% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 56% |
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 + Radeon PRO W6600 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 11% and 45% and GPU utilization between 49% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while Radeon PRO W6600 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 71% at 1080p to 97% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 30% to 20%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the Radeon PRO W6600 averages 99% usage (99-99%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 18% (11-25%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 30% and GPU 71%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 26% and GPU 88%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 20% and GPU 97%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 25% (17-33%) and GPU 86% (76-97%), which keeps Radeon PRO W6600 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The Radeon PRO W6600 reaches 99% average load at 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon PRO W6600 can run Hogwarts Legacy smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 80 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 20% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1033 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $649 GPU (Rank #30 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the GPU. For example, upgrading to the Quadro RTX 4000 (móvel) for around $900 (Rank #11 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Hogwarts Legacy, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon PRO W6600 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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth 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.
