This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 1080p medium, the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell sets the ceiling at about 244 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 307 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 21% (FPS gap: 63 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell can run Hogwarts Legacy smoothly up to 4k achieving around 72 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 42% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 126% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2165.38 ($465.38 CPU + $1700 GPU). Your RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating. For example, upgrading to the RTX PRO 6000 for around $8565 (Rank #399 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Hogwarts Legacy performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high.
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 Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 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.
