Hogwarts Legacy PC Requirements: Specs for the Wizarding World RPG
Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most visually impressive open-world RPGs of 2023. Here are the demanding PC specs and optimization tips.
Hogwarts Legacy PC Requirements
Minimum (1080p, Low, 60 FPS):- CPU: Intel Core i5-6600 / AMD Ryzen 5 1400
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4 GB / AMD Radeon RX 470 4 GB
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: 85 GB SSD
- CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: 85 GB SSD
- CPU: Intel Core i7-10800 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

CPU Dependency
Hogwarts Legacy is notably CPU-dependent. Hogwarts Castle and the open-world areas around it stream a massive amount of asset data and simulate complex environmental systems. Older CPUs (6th and 7th gen Intel, Ryzen 1000/2000 series) struggle to maintain consistent 60 FPS even with a powerful GPU.The VRAM Problem
At Ultra textures, Hogwarts Legacy approaches 12–16 GB VRAM usage at 4K. An RTX 3060 with 12 GB handles 1440p Ultra well; 8 GB cards should use High textures at 1440p.DLSS and FSR Support
The game supports DLSS 3 (including Frame Generation on RTX 40) and FSR 2. DLSS Quality at 1440p recovers substantial performance while maintaining visual quality. This is one of the recommended ways to play at 1440p on a mid-range GPU.Was this helpful?
