Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 125 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 108 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 54 to 84 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 105% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1080 Ti) for Hogwarts Legacy. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is 18% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700).
Hogwarts Legacy supports: DLSS Frame Gen, FSR 3 Frame Gen, AFMF. The GeForce RTX 4090 can use DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen, providing up to 2x-3x frame rate boost.
At lower resolutions (1080p medium, all 4k settings), the Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (all 1440p settings), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1869. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 125 FPS, equivalent to 0.07 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k medium, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE sets the ceiling at about 70 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 85 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 18% (FPS gap: 15 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 5/12 cells, GPU limits 4/12, balanced 3/12.
Your Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 8% | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 14% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 18% | CPU Limits GPU 15% | CPU Limits GPU 15% |
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 PRO 5755GE paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Hogwarts Legacy smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 108 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 105% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 18% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1869 ($220 CPU (Rank #199 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For Hogwarts Legacy, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p medium, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra.
Yes! Hogwarts Legacy supports DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF, and your GeForce RTX 4090 is compatible with DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 2x-3x 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 PRO 5755GE and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
