How Hogwarts Legacy runs on the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Our estimate puts the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at about 25 fps on High at 1080p in Hogwarts Legacy, which means it runs only on reduced settings. On Low the same card manages about 48 fps, and on Ultra about 15.

The graphics card is the limit here, so lowering the resolution or the quality preset is what raises your frame rate.

For a steady 60 fps, our estimate says: 1080p: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 48 fps on Low; 1440p: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 34 fps on Low; 4K: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 19 fps on Low.

Settings advice

Hogwarts Legacy lists 16 GB of RAM (recommending 16 GB) and a processor of the Intel Core i7-8700 (3.2Ghz) class. Our estimate assumes a processor that does not limit the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.

The cheapest card we list that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p is an Arc B570 (launch price $219), and until then upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if Hogwarts Legacy offers it) and one resolution step down are the biggest wins.
