A NVIDIA RTX 3060 paired with a Intel Core i5-13600K lands around 96 fps in Hogwarts Legacy at 1080p with Medium textures, Low shadows and DLSS Performance. Ray tracing is left off on this pairing. These values come from the same model the interactive optimizer uses, applied to this exact hardware pair rather than a generic preset.

Your GPU is limiting FPS here
NVIDIA RTX 3060 is holding back your Intel Core i5-13600K at 1080p in Hogwarts Legacy. A better GPU could get you closer to ~115 fps at these settings.
Estimate only — based on a 20% uplift for a moderate GPU bottleneck, not a measured benchmark.

Hogwarts Legacy is remembered less for its frame rate than for its hitching. The castle and Hogsmeade stream a lot of geometry quickly, and on 8 GB cards with high textures the result is a stutter that no amount of GPU power fixes. Getting the texture setting inside your VRAM budget is the whole game here.
Ray-traced reflections are the other trap. They are among the most expensive options in any PC release of their generation and give very little back in a game played mostly in daylight interiors and countryside.
Covers the Unreal Engine 4 PC build. Hogsmeade and the castle interiors are the reference scenes because of their streaming load.
