Known for high VRAM consumption, this game can easily saturate 8GB cards with its detailed textures. 16GB of system RAM is the minimum, with 32GB being ideal for a stutter-free experience in the open world.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 91 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 78 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 42 to 74 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 105% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1080 Ti) for Hogwarts Legacy. The Xeon Gold 6262 is 23% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700).
The Xeon Gold 6262 determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, 1440p ultra, all 4k settings, while the GPU has headroom. The system is well balanced at 1440p (low/medium/high).
At 1080p ultra, the Xeon Gold 6262 sets the ceiling at about 91 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 133 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 32% (FPS gap: 42 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 9/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.
Your Xeon Gold 6262 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) | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 32% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 15% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 26% | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 30% | CPU Limits GPU 32% |
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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Xeon Gold 6262 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Hogwarts Legacy smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 78 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 105% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 23% above the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Hogwarts Legacy, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Xeon Gold 6262 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 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 Xeon Gold 6262 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.
