A NVIDIA RTX 5070 paired with a Intel Core i5-12400F lands around 34 fps in Hogwarts Legacy at 1440p with Ultra textures, High shadows and DLSS Quality. Ray tracing is set to Medium. These values come from the same model the interactive optimizer uses, applied to this exact hardware pair rather than a generic preset.
Based on benchmark data and community reports for this hardware combination — treat as an estimate, not a guarantee. How we calculate this.
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.
