Estimated average fps by resolution and preset.
Our estimate puts the GeForce RTX 5090 at about 265 fps on High at 1080p in Hogwarts Legacy, which means it runs comfortably. On Low the same card manages about 300+ fps, and on Ultra about 190.
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: Ultra (about 190 fps); 1440p: Ultra (about 137 fps); 4K: Ultra (about 76 fps).
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 RTX 5090, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.
There is little headroom above this card in our list, so raise settings freely.
Our estimate is about 265 fps on High at 1080p, and about 300+ fps on Low. Verdict: Yes, runs great.
At 1080p, Ultra holds about 190 fps. At 1440p, Ultra holds 60 fps. Even 4K is possible on Ultra.
Hogwarts Legacy lists 16 GB as its minimum and recommends 16 GB. The graphics card does not change that: with less memory than the minimum the game can stutter or fail to start whatever card you have.
