A NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super paired with a AMD Ryzen 5 5600X lands around 29 fps in Hogwarts Legacy at 1440p with Ultra+ textures, Ultra shadows and DLSS Quality. Ray tracing is set to Ultra. These values come from the same model the interactive optimizer uses, applied to this exact hardware pair rather than a generic preset.

Your CPU is limiting FPS here
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is holding back your NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super at 1440p in Hogwarts Legacy. A faster CPU could get you closer to ~35 fps at these settings.
Estimate only — based on a 20% uplift for a moderate CPU 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.
