Hopefully the devs also issue some patches that help performance on PC, but as far as I can tell this isn’t really a buggy game so much as one that isn’t as optimized as it could be. Your mileage may vary here, so you’ll need to use some trial and error.

Yes, this sacrificed some graphical fidelity but who cares about pretty graphics if the game is barely running? Make sure your computer and drivers are all up-to-date, especially your graphics card driver.Īgain, my fix was simple: Turning off ray-tracing and lowering from Ultra to High completely fixed virtually all the performance issues I was experiencing with the game.

Be sure to double-check the game’s minimum and recommended PC system requirements.Run a benchmark like 3DMark to see what’s going on with your machine.Lower your resolution (from 4k to 2k, 2k to 1080p etc.) if your GPU is being overworked (this won’t really matter if your CPU is the issue, however).Change all your graphical quality settings to one lower preset (Ultra to High, High to Medium etc.) You can go back later and tinker.Change DLSS (if you have it) to Performance or Ultra Performance.Along with this, try any of the following or some combination: If you’re having performance issues on PC with Hogwarts Legacy, my first bit of advice is to turn off ray-tracing which you’ll find at the very bottom of the graphics settings. I plan to go back into settings and start ticking up some of the quality settings back to Ultra and testing this out, but for a quick and easy fix, these two steps helped enormously. Ultimately, to get a steady framerate and no stuttering I did two things: I turned down my graphical settings across the board to High and I turned Ray-Tracing back off.
