Before delving into the numerous graphics settings in Hogwarts Legacy, PC players must first check minimum and recommended system requirements in Hogwarts Legacy. Once you made sure that your PC fits the bill, you can proceed with this guide to set the best PC performance settings for Hogwarts Legacy.
How to Get the Best PC Performance in Hogwarts Legacy
Best Graphics Settings for Performance Outlined
As soon as you install and launch the game, it is advisable to go to “Settings” menu in the game and select “Display Options” tab. There you can set up the best configuration for your PC. It’s more in-depth than what PS5 players are able to dial in. Here’s what we recommend:
- Window Mode: Windowed Fullscreen.
- Upscale Type: NVIDIA DLSS.
- Upscale Mode: NVIDIA DLSS Quality.
- Upscale Sharpness: 0
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: On
- VSync: On
- Frame Rate: 60
- Motion Blur: On
- Depth of Field: On
- Chromatic Aberration: On
- Film Grain: On
Also, we highly recommend turning off any Ray Tracing (RTX) options, unless you’re using one of the following graphics cards or higher that actually support DirectX 12:
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080.
- AMD RX 5600 XT.
If you’re using a GPU that supports only DirectX 11, then be sure to disable all Ray Tracing options in the display settings.
Best Nvidia GPU Performance Settings for PC
Besides the in-game settings, you can also improve your gameplay experience by selecting the best performance settings in the Nvidia control panel in the Global 3D Settings menu:
- Set “Image Scaling” to “ON“.
- Set “Ambient Occlusion” to “Performance“.
- Set “Anisotropic Filtering” to “Application Controlled“.
- Set “Antialiasing FXAA” to “Off“.
- Set “Antialiasing Mode” to “Application Controlled“.
- Set “Antialiasing Transparency” to “Off“.
- Set “Low Latency Mode” to “Ultra“.
- Set “Max Frame Rate” to “Off“.
- Set “Optimize for Computer Performance” to “On“.
Lastly, laptop users should definitely set “Power Management Mode” to “Maximum Performance“.
Best AMD Radeon GPU Performance Settings for PC
Similarly, AMD graphics cards owners could improve Hogwarts Legacy PC performance via AMD Radeon software in the Graphics menu:
- Toggle “Anti-Lag” to “On“.
- Toggle “Image Sharpening” to “On“.
