This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p ultra, the Radeon RX 580X sets the ceiling at about 28 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 178 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 84% (FPS gap: 150 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 580X 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 73% | GPU Limits CPU 80% | GPU Limits CPU 81% | GPU Limits CPU 84% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 71% | GPU Limits CPU 79% | GPU Limits CPU 82% | GPU Limits CPU 84% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 73% | GPU Limits CPU 74% | GPU Limits CPU 77% | GPU Limits CPU 77% |
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 Radeon RX 580X will struggle to run Hogwarts Legacy at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 30 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $444 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $60 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 5060 for around $299 (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Hogwarts Legacy, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 580X 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 Radeon RX 580X is compatible with FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF. 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 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.
