Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the ultra preset. You already clear 60 FPS on high, so this leaves headroom for dips in busy scenes.
At 1440p
Comfortable — around 60 FPS on high.
At 4K
Around 35 FPS. Workable with upscaling on Performance mode.
Upscaling
Hogwarts Legacy supports DLSS and FSR. Your card supports FSR — Quality mode is worth 25–40% more frames. Compare upscalers.
VRAM headroom
At 12GB you are under the 16GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.

What settings should I use?
Start at the ultra preset at 1080p. Then enable upscaling on Quality mode before lowering anything further.
Will my processor hold this back?
These figures assume a processor fast enough not to limit the card. If yours is older, run the bottleneck calculator — this title leans on the GPU, so a modest CPU deficit costs less.
