Not sure I clearly stated it in the video, but the game is confirmed to use DLSS 3, which is good for RTX 40 series owners, however this also means it should support DLSS 2 for 20 and 30 series Nvidia users. It also seems to be included on the list of upcoming FSR2 supported games given recently by AMD: wccftech.com/amd-fsr-2-upscaler-confirms-compatibility-for-over-one-hundred-available-and-upcoming-game-titles/
Hopefully it's a good PC port. I'll be so disappointed if it has shader compilation stutter.
I hope it has ray tracing. Looks like it could benefit from RTGI like Witcher 3
@@Drip7914 they probably would've mentioned that if it was there.
@@Drip7914 its insane how much ray tracing transforms The Witcher. 150 hours in this playthrough, loving it
@@TerraWare I’ve 100% the game 5 times but I’m still willing to play it all again for the 6th. THATS how good it looks, Shame my 5800x3d bottlenecks the 4090 at 4k but that’s where frame Gen shines taking me to 105-115+ with dlss quality which also looks better than native TAAU

This is fantastic

Here's some tests I've run now that I have the game:
Hogsmeade: RTX 4090, 3060 Ti, RX 6700 XT, GTX 1060, RX 7900 XTX: ua-cam.com/video/zofJ5yFvajA/v-deo.html
Ray Tracing DLSS 2/3 with RTX 4090 at 4K: ua-cam.com/video/o4r0k-LKOCw/v-deo.html
1080p GTX 1060 all settings and upscaling: ua-cam.com/video/gemnMpwDP-I/v-deo.html
I'm not sure the new requirements are necessarily lower than before. "New" minimum requirements targets 720p at 30fps at low settings, while the "old" ones targeted 1080p 60fps at low settings.
All they did was lower specs, but also lower image quality.
except the old one was 540p upscaled and the new one is native 720p..
But that's with upscale performance, i think it will be fine at 1080p/30fps
@@KamekoTsuruga maybe... just because they didn't list upscaling, doesn't mean they don't mean using it.
@@AyaWetts it wouldn't make any sense to list it in one spec that is using it but not list it for another spec that is also using it. that would be straight up false advertising.
@@KamekoTsuruga Yes but they were also targeting double the fps, so overall it's not that different. They're just showing that you CAN technically play the game on even lower end systems if you're willing to have a 720p/30fps experience.
I don’t need these breakdowns, but I enjoy them so much that I have to watch them! Keep up the fantastic content. I know you help lots of people 👍🏼

You really think your gpu is a girl? Why not let it identify how it wants that’s kinda bigoted

@@olivur_1459 R9 5900X
Thanks for getting this out so quickly. I was actually wondering when/if you would do a deeper dive after I saw the new reqs posted. Please keep this format up, I like listening to your videos podcast style, especially content like this and your GPU news. Would love to see this game benchmarked after release since I'm holding off my purchase until I see reviews.
The nerve of the developers to think that minimum is at 720p30fps !!! Come on it's 2023 already! We r not living in 2000s era damn it !!!
Great video! Love how you showcase and go in-depth with everything. Thank you so much.
Lol Daniel not seeing the 5700xt below the arc A770 is pure gold. Thanks for the vid!!!
Best to wait for reviews/gameplay of the PC version to truly know if this is worth playing at launch. I think it's really cool for Harry Potter to get a legitimate game that isn't a film tie-in but I really hope they make a game for the fans of the books and films that feels like a breathed in world to play.
You want pc reviews to see if is worth but then want it to be for book nerds lol.
@Anarchy I expect a trash PC port with it being buggy af...so the usual
@@erickalvarez6486 I don't think you read it correctly. For the tech launch side of things we need to wait for PC reviewers to tell us what's up. For the game itself I am cautious because it's Warner Bros. and seems a little too ambitious so I am expecting it to be generic but I hope I am wrong because this franchise never got a good video game.
@@gvulture1277 it will be good. do you guys remember when all the whiners were complaining about cyberpunk? that game was perfect on pc. i had and have zero complaints . people just love to complain... I feel our complaints are better directed towards woke libtards.
@@gvulture1277 i won't be surprised if it turns out to be like cyberpunk 2077 when that came out
I can't believe you did a 22 minute video on this topic lol
Gotta get that bread
Half of times its useless rant.
So i skip and watch important parts only.
Some real useless shit
Gotta milk that ad revenue bby
@@xtechtips152 yeah as much as i love Daniel (I've been subbed since he was doing videos without green screen, when COVID just hit and he started doing vids) lately he seems to simply talk way too much just to make video longers so he can put better/more ads in it.
I’m actually happy you did this video because my computer was having issues running the game and I thought maybe my computer is bad but it’s well within the high spec recs, and now I see there’s something going on with my GTX drivers causing this so thank you.
I was waiting and looking out for this video hoping to hear your thoughts on this. I just updated my GPU to may sure i'm able to run smoothly at the 1440p resolution. It's crazy the massive difference in requirements and them still trying to get this game to run on the switch has me baffled but i hope they don't end up regretting that.
My jaw literally dropped when I saw that they were going for a Switch port. Even on UE4 the game looks way beyond what the Switch can handle even with significant downscaling. It also makes me nervous that WB might be, like always, overambitious with their goals and will fall short, like usual.
they are going for old gen releases too, that will end well..
The Switch is the most underpowered console out right now, I'm guessing this game will run at 480p native with some kind of FSR ultra-performance mode to 720p at the lowest possible settings. They really need to release a Switch Pro, but Nintendo does what they want
There will be no switch pro, way too late for that. Next switch will be it's successor.
I doubt that alone will make it playable on switch. They are taking extra long because they are probably making lower quality textures, or even making some lower poly assets, or cutting down on actual 3D models seen in areas...
I love this type of videos, also the hardware news.
Very good video! I upgrade the pc for this game exclusively, I hope I run it, do you think that in medium-high graphics at 1080p I have a ryzen 5 3600 with a Radeon RX 6600 8gb?
Honestly I am not sure if I am excited for this game or not? It definitely has potential. I would definitely like to see some benchmarks for it though because I am currently running a 5900x with a Vega 56. I am however looking at upgrading my GPU sometime soon so it would be interesting to see how the benchmarks turn out.
No one cares if your excited or not ! Just cry about it
@@TitsMcgee-un1cj got em

@@UbanGerd Bruh the most popular gpu in the world is 6 years old and not even as good as vega 56. Stop Being An Elitist!
I'm a pc player, i do enjoy high fps but these kinda of games i don't mind pushing 30-50 fps just for the good quality. I'm using a 2070super, ryzen 3700x, 16 gb ram on a 1440p monitor and it still doing a great job with medium/high settings over 60 fps on those more demanding games. Thank god for dlss!
I'm super confused lol do you think it will make a difference if i update the newest version for my windows 11 pc? like I literally bought the game a week ago and my graphics was super slow smh I'm just sooo annoyed lol
what happens if you have the required GPU but on a laptop, meaning less power usage. How do you guage the performance?
Will be stoked if the game either lives up to or Exceeds Expectations; have my hopes up for an enjoyable playthrough as an evil Hufflepuff later this year.
So glad I bought my 2060 12 gb for $270.00 back when they had a sale on EBay. Everyone told me I was crazy because 30 series prices would bottom out with crypto crashed and when the 40 series dropped. But my exact card is selling for 400 on EBay…Prices are still stupid.
Dude, you have a lot of great info man!
I’m still learning, but will I be able to/Could I play it on Steam with my MacBook? I’ve never ever played on my PC, I don’t have a PS5, but willing to play it on my M2 MacBook Pro but wanting to see if it will work. Thank you!!! 😊
I prefer when they do Recommend 1080p - 1440p - 4k specd... Usually better for people to know how their experience might be.
Judging by the fact that the 1080p “recommended” is the “high preset” and the 2080ti vs 6800xt is the 1440p at the “ultra” preset, I wonder if ULTRA is like F1 where RT is enabled.
Maybe
Great video. Do you think it will run at 1080p 60 fps with an i7 6700 and an rx 6700 xt?
bro i have i7 8700 with rx 6600 16gb ram,I think I will be able to run the game 1080p high without any problem, right?
Definitely not pre ordering with i7 12700k and 3080 and 16 gb ddr5. Will see if they can handle 1440p ultra. I think would be good idea to do benchmark videos not only for gpu/cpu's but ram as well comparing 16 and 32.
I’m using a GTG 1060 and it runs well but certain demanding scenes get really choppy. I ordered a 3070 last night.
My desktop has a GTX 1070, i7-6700 CPU 3.40GHz, 16 GB and my hame crashes everytime I get close to Hogsmeade, I'm getting crazy, dunno what to do xux
Im planning to upgrade from my GTX 1070 to Rx 6800 for this game as I want to play smoothly on 1440P. Will it be enough since the specs demand a 6800xt for 60 fps? Thank you for your content and greetings from Germany.
Yes would like to see benchmarks. Thanks for sharing.
would love to see the benchmarks for this game
Would love to see some benchmarks on this game when it comes out!
hi! I got a pc with ryzen 7 3800x3d , rtx 3060, 16 gb ram with a 1080p monitor, but also have a ps5 on a 4k tv. wich platform should I download the game?
If Hogwarts Legacy will be available later on for old gen consoles and Nintendo Switch, does that mean they can/will further optimize the game so that pc specs lower than the recommended (but more powerful than that of the old gen consoles) will also be able to play with a decent graphic settings and frame rate?
Thank you so much for doing an updated video! I was a little nervous whether my RTX 2070 Super would be enough, along with my AMD Ryzen 5 3600, but it looks like I just about make it into the recommended settings. Would love to play this game on ultra, but alas. That would require both a new GPU and twice the amount of RAM I have now..
Bet that the game at medium setting + textures ultra will look almost identical to setting everything on Maximum.
Just like plague tale requiem, you can't tell a difference between ultra textures medium and maxed out graphics but the fps at max setting drops by half.
What are you talking about , you can play high settings on 1080p with that rig . I have the same but i59600k .
Your saying you only have 8 gb of system ram ?
Might be cheaper to get another 8gb of ram then to buy the game.
while you are holding on, just remember that the Ryzen 5 3600 is prone to core overvoltage that can cause high thermals. There's a video from Tech Yes city about it.
I'll be rocking 15FPS on my 720p monitor with my old rusty GTX 760
I have a Nivida 2080 Super, 16gb ram, intel core i7-9700k processor. Will it run well and look good on Highest settings?
My prebuilt from 2017 doesn't even meet the minimum requirements. Definitely going to upgrade when I can find cheaper used prices on newer hardware and hey maybe by then the game will be on sale for around 20$.
What are your specs
I wouldn't get your hopes up. It'll be a while before it's on sale.
it'll be a couple years before its ever sale priced that low.
It looks like they still have a lot of work to do on this game. Not optimized at all. It's UE4 there is no reason a 2080TI/3070/6700XT
shouldn't be able to do 4K60fps. The Graphics are not all that stunning. I will be playing it day one but my 3080/5800X3d will be fine @1440p.
Alienware x17 r1 with 3080 16gb w
I9 processor should be able to run on ultra/4K right?
I have a 1660 Super 6GB and 16 of Ram, do i have any remote slight chance of playing this game on high specs or medium/high quality 1080/60
If these new specs are not counting DLSS/FSR, then performance will be really good, but if it is already counting upscaling, well... it's a heavy game I have to say.
Or a poorly optimised game that they're compensating for with massive sys reqs. It is WB games.
@@stuartmorgan3654 "massive" *gpus older than you*
Requirements shouldn't take into account DLSS / FSR. Upscaling is not an excuse for devs to be lazy and not optimize their game. Not everyone wants to run upscaling as well. I play on PC, if I wanted upscaling 24/7 I'd have bought a console.
@@ultratronger Yes I'm younger than 7 years old. You've found me out, damn. *Opens trench coat* Guys the jig is up.
Pretty new to PC gaming, but I've got a 2060 Super and a Ryzen 5 3600X. After watching both of your videos I'm just hoping to run the game relatively smoothly around 60 fps on normal quality settings at launch. Wishing for the best to all.
same here
Same cpu with a 3060ti, hoping to get 60fps @1440p at medium
@@RazgulTheKind 60fps 1440p high easily with 3060 ti
At least you have a decent CPU, I am stuck with a i7-3770. Currently buying parts for a new pc build with a ryzen 5 5600x
You’ll be just fine with those specs, I have a very similar setup as yours and can’t wait to play this game.
FYI if you cannot afford a large capacity SSD or nvme you can always buy a large mechanical hard drive for pennies on the dollar and use a cache program with a low capacity SSD or nvme. The program essentially takes the most used information from the hard drive and stores it in the SSD. This technique is primarily used on servers. But it works. I have a 4 TB hard drive cashing the most important game files to a 240 gig SSD and basically loads as if the game is directly on the SSD. Primo cache is the program I use. Now AMD does have something that kind of does the same thing but it's very specific on motherboard and CPU that you can use. Because like I said it's primarily used in servers.
Sadly it's not updated anymore and doesn't work on any amd system (storeMI) :( But yes it's still a great idea
Does the game need an avx cpu ? I can't find any infos on the net.
The new low settings seem to be what is required to just the game past the load screen. I sense Slytherin's hand in this. I also hope this isn't pulling a Cyberpunk.
will i be able to play with a pentium g4560?
@@ermisgeo1270 whats you gpu and ram ???
@@ahmetyars4780 gtx 1650 16gb ram
Game dev here using Denuvo. Denuvo can cause CPU overhead, in fact it is supposed to. However it only should do that during loading/startup. It is trivially easy to detect and fix if it causes any cpu overhead anywhere else.
So while they are possible they are always quickly fixed if it does happen.
Fuck Denuvo, remove it. I will pirate it, if they don't remove it.
@@ChairyCrasher You see... that is exactly what denuvo prevents.
So why is it that many games have been found to run better without denuvo? Why is it that as a paying consumer I get less freedom of using my content then someone who pirated the game a couple of months after the launch. Denuvo is by far the most anti-consumer "anti-tampering" measure there is.
@@Darkeree Yeah, it ruins the game and makes the performance worse. And rarely it does prevent piracy. IUt will be pirated 1 day. Pirates don't have to care about the perfomance,because they didn't pay for it, yet the consumers are fucked over
@@ChairyCrasher UA-cam keeps deleting my comment. Let's just say Denuvo is working quite well based on the scene situation right now.

u think i can plax it in wqhd and 60-80 fps?
I have a Ryzen 5 3600, Gtx 1650 super 4gb and 16 gb ram. I presume that I have to play it in high/medium settings right?
Still on my old 1080 Ti rocking it
gpu of the decade!
Still rocking on 1080 Ti will sell my 2080 and buy rtx 4090 ti
Who want my rtx 2080?
Honestly, they seem quite high requirements considering that the engine is still UE4 (32GB RAM, wtf?). And i saw what they did there with the minimum requirements, but honestly i can't see anyone playing at 720p*30fps in 2023 unless they have a 10 years old laptop as game station. Also as Daniel said, lol@pairing the 2080TI with the 6800XT for the 1440p config.
its because theres alot of pc gamers in the third world, so they will want to know if you can still run it at 30 fps at 720p with older gamings pcs
@@MrSamadolfo run a game and play a game are a different thing. 30 fps plus low settings plus 720p has really little value regardless where you live. I mean even a PS3 does better than that.
@@Khrann Not really. Most PS3 games were at or below 720p and that was with 7th gen games which are easy to run on even iGPUs now. The Xbox One typically ran at 720p to 900p though.
Engine doesn't say how intensive a game can be. Plus there have been a few very heavy UE4 games come out recently so the engine still can do a lot despite Epic moving on to UE5 now
its Steam Deck verified as well, which may be why they targeted 720p 30 fps, because thats probably how it'll run. 10 year old laptops probably won't run this at all...
hmm, so my rtx 3050 ti (laptop) should be to run the game at least medium setting with a stable fps, right? (AMD Ryzen 9 5900hs)
i have a 3700x and amd rx 6600 8 gb and 32 gb of ram would i be able to run it a little bit higher then 1080p or just at 1080 p
I’m very curious if these are before or after upscaling is applied. Hopefully before. If that’s the case I’ll be flying high at 4K. If not, I’ll stay around 60fps at 4K
Before
I hate denuvo after my story with RE village. I had some very strange stutters in that game and didnt know what is going on. Then apparently it was a DRM fault. Some hacker dropped a "patch" which not only made the game available for free but also totaly removed DRM from the game. And with that crack/patch the stutters were gone. So i had to use that crack for my game game copy which i bought. So not only game companies trying to make money by lowering perfomance (and honestly i am doubt that denuvo helps to sales at all) but they also just not dropping patches which should fix the isuues for your consumers. But no, a freaking hacker made a patch before the game devs. What a time for game industry. I also heard Dying Light 2 had some issues because of that garbage denuvo. But i didnt play that game
The only thing denuvo gets these companies is some amount of time before the game is mass pirated. Sometimes that's one day sometimes that's several months. But if someone's pirating I don't think they'll buy it regardless. It's very much anti consumer, with bugs like you said and performance costs like Daniel said. Hurting the people who pay more than the people who don't.
@@samhhhhh Bring back the days where devs would just laugh at you for pirating and lock away content xP
The only reason Denuvo is still getting used is coz 99% of people buying these games don't actually know what denuvo is. Unless something huge comes up to change that fact we are never going to get rid of it sadly.
Me too 😧 I stop playing on my gpd win 3 and waiting win 4. Even minimum specs resident evil village always lag in dimitrescu castle. Now I understand why 😑
im not worried, 5600x 6900xt and i only play 1080p so i should be fine for ultra settings, is it capped at 60 fps?
Do you think my i3-12100f won't make a problem running recommend with my rx6600xt?
To be fair if technology is going to advance, we need to increase the bar for minimum requirements right? If people are shitting themselves on a minimum 1070 requirement, what the hell they going to do 3 years from now when UE5 is in full swing?
The problem is GPU prices are not going down. Nvidia is now charging $1,200 for an xx80 class GPU and that's considering the 4080 is nearly half the dies size of the 4090 so really it's a 4070.
If no one can afford a GPU good enough to play at reasonable settings, that's a problem.
i agree, ppl that are still on 4 cores or a gpu older than 2016 need to upgrade. It's probably holding back video game potential. Games could be so much better, but most ppl have low end spec so developers have to work around that
People weren't worried about the minimum being a 1070, it was that the minimum said a 1070 at 1080p with upscaling performance meaning that the game was internally rendering at 960x540 and at low settings to hit 60fps. Now if it was normal 1080p with no upscaling and 60fps people would of been far more forgiving even at just low settings. That would make it one of the most demanding games to have come out and that's what concerns people. What does that say about other more mid range PCs and their performance or how well it will perform on the consoles which are mid range PCs. Plus the game is getting a release on the switch, which so far isn't cloud streaming. That would mean a 540p render resolution on a 1070 while still being able to run on the switch makes no sense considering how much weaker the switch's GPU is.
@@mikeramos91 Ehh, The 8th gen consoles hold back gaming far more than people's low end PCs. Consoles are typically the standard or minimum requirements in the case of old last gen hardware. Since games are becoming less common on the Xbox One/PS4 game requirements are now shooting up as they are no longer being limited by the CPU, GPU, and Ram of those older consoles.
The new unreal engine is ushering in a new era of higher system requirements. The new Fortnite is difficult to run in DX12 with Lumen etc, relatively speaking.
It eats system memory like candy, 16Gb is not enough..
But this game is likely built on UE4 not UE5
@@kravenfoxbodies2479 it probably eats system memory as much as i eat pussy, so not at all...
I have plenty of spec to run it smoothly, but will have to watch gameplay Vids to see if I will be interested or not.. it has potential to be cool, but will come down to details of the game mechanics
I got a 2080ti with a i7 8700k with 32gb of ram so I should be able to run it at 1440p on high settings right?
A lot of games this year are current gen only( PS5/ Xbox Series X|S), so expect to see system requirements from now on to go WAY up!
Fair tho since the graphics will also get a lot better because they’re no longer limited to 2013 console hardware.
This year and especially next year( no more crossgen games for like 99% of AAA games by that point) will be a wake up call for anyone who’s on a GPU weaker than an RTX 2070 id say.
maybe not, the global economy is collapsing so expect to see stagnation, theres a bunch of new and used rx 580 video cards being sold rite now still
Hopefully, while sounds harsh but theres only so long you can try and support such outdated hardware without major negative impacts on your games performance or direction
@@MrSamadolfo With, or without a global economy collapse the RX 580 is still outdate GPU and has been since 2021. That GPU is basically 7 years old now (it's just an overclocked RX 480). You cannot get any more outdated that that GPU in 2023. I would say the RX 5700, or the RTX 2060 Super the new baseline GPU of 2021-2023.
As long as the keep making PS5/X1 games, they will run on those GPUs. They are not going to try to scale them any lower.
@@blake112x when majority of gamers still use GPU weaker than GTX 1070, if a game didn't run at least 'OK' on GTX 1070 then PC sales are going to suffer.
This pushes games to get optimized for lower end PCs
the xbox series s is way weaker than a 2070. the series x basicly has a 2060 super.
the ps5 is slightly behind but has better other technology to push fps.
so a 2060 super and up should be fine for high detail, with a rx580 being enough for low.
things that release on console but require way more to run at high (not ultra) at 1080p at 60 fps (30fps for non multiplayer games) are bad ports.
I'm quite frustrated with those required settings. I built a new PC specifically for this game and I wanted to play it on 1440p ultra settings at 60fps with virtually no drops, but apparently my 3060Ti will have some trouble with that.
I was expecting to have future proof hardware with my purchase, but reality came knocking pretty quickly.
Yeah look, I personally have to say, I don't feel right about these settings, I can play RDR 2 on ultra with way more than 60fps at 1440p with 16gb of ram and a 3080ti.... and somehow, looking at this game, graphic fidelity doesn't seem to be a strong suit and still somehow requires more power... Something is off here... I feel like they've gone ham on LOD's and maybe that's why it's so demanding.
Its 3060ti dude , what were you expecting? That's like the bottom tier of the 3000 series my guy lol 😆
@steven Davis it's still 400 dollars, man. Not everyone is willing to spend rent money to play games a little bit better.
I'll be playing on low settings at 720p 30 fps on my Steam Deck and having a grand time... don't need all the eye candy, just have fun 🙂
@Aya Wetts I have a steamdeck, too. I like having my games portable, but I'll probably have to buy it for my ps5.
Would love benchmarks on this game. Girlfriend wants this game and would love to see how it would be for her set up. From the looks of it I might need to get her and set of 2x8gbs of ram since she's rocking a R5 5600, Rx 6700 xt and 16gbs of ram on 1440p monitor. I'm sure here set up will be more than fine at high settings with some tweaks here and there. As always love the work you do here with this channel. Happy day for everyone here and positive energy for you all!
So do you think gameplay on 8G’s of ram will still be possible ?
I would like to know how that lack of 16 gb RAM affecting the performance on ultra settings. I was sure 16 gb (ddr4, 3600mhz) was enough when I was building my pc (5800X3D + 6800XT + 1440p).
if your going thru the expense of building such a really nice new enthusiast rig you should have gotten a 32gb ram kit, pickup the non rgb version if u want to save a few dollars, pickup the 3200mhz version to save a few dollars more. But yes technically most games dont go over 16GB, tho theres a few games out there that do. Me personally I only use the 16GB kit when I build a gaming pc to gift it to someone, if they need more they can pay for it themselves ☺
@@MrSamadolfo I personally haven't touched my Infinity Fabric clocks at all and it's running at 1800. So 3600MT's RAM is definitely the best option there. Running slower RAM means your Infinity Fabric won't be running at full beans which hurts performance.
I have the exact same configuration with the difference that I use 32 GB of ram
I use Microsoft flight simulator and from 16 to 32 it improved a lot in terms of stuttering when loading big areas such as airports.
Not sure I find much difference in any other games.
It's probably cause of denuvo overhead imo. There is no way 16gb vram is insufficient for any modern gaming. And if it is, there's no need for ram to compensate.
Well spider man remastered had 32gb of ram as recommended but it works just fine with 16gb , system requirements aren't always accurate but i'm expecting we're gonna see more of these specs in the coming moths
I recommended changing the shadows in the settings, they are biggest killer in terms of performance/visual aspects.
I was able to play Cyberpunk at max settings on my Lenovo Legion 5 2021 model.
Same here mate
So my gaming laptop should run this game pretty decent right? I have an Intel core i7 12700H 14 core with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060.
*FYI: Yes, Hogwarts Legacy has Raytracing.* It has all Raytracing techniques but RTX Global Illumination at the moment. It would be strange if it didn't have it with so many light sources don't you think? I would like to see what the game looks like on different 10 series and 20 series GPUs. I bet many people are not sure whether they should buy the game because they don't know what it would look like on their hardware.
While i'm definitely not looking to play this game, i can say that i like what i see in these spec sheets. 1080p is playable on essentially any PC with a somewhat modern GPU. Ultra 4k pushes hardware all the way to 3090+. That's how it should be on paper, we'll see what the end result will be.
it should be ok, game engines dont change as much as we think, plus alot of new pc gamers are coming into the market rite now, and they are probably starting out small to see if they actually like it
how come you dont want to play it?
U really think 720p30fps should be a minimum req? In this day & age ???
@@IronMan-jj2fd yes... why not? I think that'll look and work fine on Steam Deck.
@@AyaWetts But why would anyone want to play an immersive, beautiful RPG on a small Steam Deck? Defeats the entire purpose of such a game imo. It calls for high graphics and complete immersion, not sitting bent over a handheld. Really don't think that's gonna be a very common way to play a game like this.
Pro tip: don’t upgrade your pc got a game that isn’t released yet. At least wait for reviews
The best setup for games really is, a medium sized fast SSD boot drive, a 1 or 2 TB SSD for games you play, and a large HDD for storing your games you don't play, and just transfer them as needed between the two. That's what I do. I have a 1TB M.2 SSD that I put games on to play, then a 4TB HDD to put them on when they're not being played (though I'm probably gonna upgrade that to an 8TB or larger soon). Saves from having to download them from the internet everytime I want to play them.
I'm playing all my games on 5-12yo HDDs. And no it's not loading slowly (at least for me) and yes I'm playing the quite recent Open worlds like Cyberpunk, Far Cry 6, Elden Ring, Days Gone, Kingdom Come.. cyberpunk loads in like 20 seconds. I don't really feel like I need to constantly transfer games from one disk to another.. y'all are too spoiled with your fancy M.2.
I have a 3070 with a r7 3700x. Should I consider upgrading my cpu ?
The new requirements make way more sense. Was already wondering with the old requirements if my 6700 xt could handle 1440p high settings 60fps but now um pretty sure that that it will handle it no problem.
yeah same
Ofc it will. These still makes no sense. Higher CPU for higher resolution (wat), a 6800xt put in the same tier of a 2080ti (which is 25/30% slower so a full tier). This game is either optimized like shite or again, whoever made the requirements has literally no knowledge on PC hardware.
@@davidepannone6021 Probably is more like a marketing thing! no way you need a 5800x to run it at 1440p! I bet a 5600 will do just fine!
@@Andres92246 yeah 😂
@@davidepannone6021 I mean some of it still is a bit wonky but its better than before.
cant wait to play on my 970
What do I need to upgrade for Legacy??? Can I run 30fps with this set up?
Intel i5-2500 3.3ghz
Gt 1030 2gb
16gb ram
250gb intel ssd
@19:05 - For everyone out there... yes, 4K (with no ray tracing) does actually use all the resources (32GB Ram, AMD 7900XT, CPU, etc) - the game is using well over 16GB of VRAM on Ultra 4K.
Only Gandalf the grey 🧙♂️will be able to make this game run on Nintendo switch
I'm honestly more excited to see it run on the switch lol. This might be the game that finally makes me upgrade my 4 core 7600k & board...
There are more reasons to upgrade from a 4 core than just Hogwarts legacy lol
@@mikeramos91 for sure. Just not for me, yet.
Yep, I am still running on 7600k
Last month bought rtx 6900xt. Need to cap on 40fps to play comfortably 😂
@@Praxsslol nice. I upgraded to a rx6600 from a 580 nitro in October. Mostly for rdna2 cause Polaris ran halo like crap.
Even if its well optimized based on other switch games this will be the most intensive switch game probably running with fsr 720 from 540-360p docked and 504-360p portable and below low settings obviously and 20-30fps
8:30 the vram quantity doesn't affect theoretical performance that's the basis of comparison there, that's why there's no 4gb gtx 960.
So what resolution is the game actually at at 1080p performance upscaling?
I expected demanding hardware to run this game but man it seems to surpass cyberpunk 2077. And it's one of the first games to recommend 32gb of ram. I'm excited & ready to see how Hogwarts Legacy performs.
Yeah this game gonna prolly take the throne! As the most demanding on the planet! Dying light 2 is up there in top 5 !
@@IronMan-jj2fdcan you list top 5
@@Praxss
1) Hogwarts (prolly)
2) Cyberpunk 2077
3) Dying light 2
4) a plague tale requiem
5) Marvel's guardians of the galaxy
@@IronMan-jj2fd I’m assuming you listed those games because of ray tracing. Guardians of the galaxy is easy to run without ray tracing
check out the forspoken pc requirements, there is a new king in town
Can’t complain, new games that appear to be huge open world masterpieces will be demanding.
The minimum recommended specs are for 7-8 year old hardware, thats ancient technology for PC.
GTX 1080 Ti is nearly 7 years old but it is the best of that generation and it is slightly better than the RTX 3060 according to TechPowerup.
lol, you are totally wrong, they need to make games that you can run at 1440p which is the middle ground resolution with a middle card like 3060, 3060 ti or 6600 xt, 6700 xt, that's what most people have, needing a 6800 xt just for 1440p ultra smeels like shitty optimization, I won't even think buying this game until I see it
@@thepirate4095 it’s probably for ray tracing. 6800xt tends to be around a 3080 not a 3070/2080 ti but with Rt on id imagine the 2080 ti beats it only by 10% if the 6900xt is also around a 3070 in Rt.
@@thepirate4095 Its 2023 , devs arnt going to continue to cater to potato resolutions like 1440p as they stop making cross gen console games.
@@Dempig 1440p potato resolution? Lmfao over 90% of steam uysers are in 1440p and 1080p
This video was worth it for the techpowerup link alone. Great video!!
I'm really wondering if I'm gonna be having a good time on 16gb of ram i5 11400f and 1080ti for high 1080p hope so really exited for this game to come out and play
I got a 7900 XT with a 13700k and 32GB RAM. I´m struggling which Monitor to buy, a WQHD or a UWQHD?
I guess my GPU is more stable here and now as in future on WQHD?
I'd stick with WQHD for personal preferences. I personally don't like ultra wide displays and see 21:9 as my limit. Plus it's a much easier target to hit super high frame rates. I'd basically try and save up for that Alienware QD OLED display, the AW3423DWF or one of the MiniLED displays if that's within your price limit.
Listen friend, I didn’t sell both of my kidneys for nothing.
I sold them so that my PC would be ready to crush this game on 4K ultra.
That being said, I hope they don’t delay it any further because I’m spending a shitload of money on dialysis.
wtf
I have a i5 10400 and RTX 3070, which should be able to do 1440p on high pretty well. I just hope my 16gb of RAM won't be a big problem. Luckily we'll get reviews and such before the regular release date because of the 3 day early access for deluxe editions. Should be enough time for testers to nail down the most efficient settings (and give us a general review of the game).
Really digging this release schedule. Could save a lot of people a lot of money and frustration if the game doesn't pan out. It actually gives me more confidence in the game, because why would they do things like this if the game wasn't somewhat decent at the very least?
ehh just give some more swap space/bigger paging file and you should be fine.
Wait wtf isn't this game able to run on 16 GBs. Can't wait for SSDs to be crapped on
You could spend like $30 for 16gb more RAM...
My specs are confusing, while I do meet the rec cpu I dont meet the rec gpu, will I still be able to play the game with a mix of high, medium and low settings at 1080p using FSR? Specs GTX 1660ti, i7 9700f, 24gb DDR4 and installed on samsung SSD
You'll be fine, just check some benchmarks to see where it stacks up before purchasing. You likely won't need FSR at 1080p
Will this game not be in 4k? The trailers were in 4k so I assumed the game would be also.
I’d love to see this game benchmarked
It will be. A lot of it.
Sad gtx 1050 ti noises
Can I run this game on recommended settings of 1080p 60fps if my CPU is much higher than the recommended CPU and my GPU is higher than the minimum settings. This is my system specs CPU i3-12100, GTX1650, 16GB RAM ?? Thanks
I’m trying to decide if I wanna play my series x on 4K at 60 fps or on my pc.. pc is a 5900x 64gb ram and a 3080 but I feel like that’s not gonna get 60fps at 4K on my tv.. probably will struggle with 1440p on my super ultra wide. I’m having a tough time deciding the best playing experience between console or pc. Crazy when my pc cost me over 4 times the price of my consol to build lol
Just ordered these 32GB GSkill RAM. 32GB will most likely be the new standard in modern days.
yep. 16gb is the new minimum & i recommend anyone building a new PC to get 32gb
Maybe for 4k ultra... but 1440p ultra? nah shouldn't be..
@@azza9423 Developers said 32GB for 1440p. 😄
@@Kley96 I know what they said, but it shouldn’t be the norm for 1440p. When we have games like rdr2 that can achieve that with less requirements
@@azza9423 RDR2 is eating up my 16 GB of RAM like it was its breakfast. Sometimes I see spikes up to 15.7GB that game in 1440p Ultra. Lol
Hi everyone, hope you all have a great day. If you have any input on what new GPU I should buy, I highly appreciate your input. I choose mainly between RTX 4070 ti and RX 7900 XT, for 1440p gameplay and use of RT when available. Currently I use a GTX 1080. In Sweden the ca lowest cost of these GPU:s in USD (incl. VAT) are: 4070 ti - $1060, 7900 XT - $1125, 7900 XTX - $1425, 4080 - $1570, 4090 - $2260. I have checked the used market, prices for RTX 3000/ RX 6000 are so high it´s better value in buying new 4000/7000 GPU:s, in relation to performance + as well warranty. Have i5 12:th gen, DDR4. Sorry for language errors, English is not my native language. Thank you! :) Best regards
I’m in the the same boat with i5 13th gen ddr4 me personally I leaning towards saving up for a 4070 ti cause I plan to game at 1440p high fps or RT plus I also stream so I need the encoders
If you plan to use Ray Tracing a lot go with 4070 Ti, if not so often go with 7900XT ( just make sure you don't buy reference model or at least test it for temps )
@@becominggolden1525 Thank you so much for your reply! I agree, it´s a good choice regarding 1440p performance in my opinion especially also considering the encoders when streaming. I also target higher 1440p fps, since I like 120+ fps, although I don´t stream. I don´t like the pricing, of course, of the current GPU-market, but then again I also didn´t like the pricing during RTX 3000/RX 6000-gen. Let´s hope the prices will drop somewhat while we save up the money to buy a new GPU.
@@martinxyz Thank you so much for your reply! Yes, it´s true I should watch out for the cooling problem of AMD reference cards. Thanks for the input! I will go for other card than reference if I buy AMD. I´m still not sure about the RT, of course the 4070 ti performs better than 7900XT on RT. But 7900XT perhaps performs good enough RT, while sometimes perform better rasterization? Also I don´t like Nvidias choice of vram 192 bit memory bus, because I believe it hinders the 4070 ti performance at 4K, or perhaps future more demanding 1440p compared to a 256 or 320 bit bus? (I am also whining subjectively that in my opinion a 4070 ti-class card should not have as low spec. as 192 bit memory bus, especially at this MSRP price point). The extra vram amount on 7900XT I guess could, perhaps, come in handy for future 1440p gaming? I believe I need to check performance on specific game titles that I plan to game, as well as if 4070 ti:s 12 GB is enough vram for 1440p gaming or if 7900XT 20 GB vram is needed. (And also to check if it´s better relative value in performance in relation to MSRP with a RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX, as well as if I could save up for those two more expensive cards. Providing that I want to buy such expensive cards, even the 4070 ti is above my normal maximum MSRP). I guess I have to make som decisions, or wait to check what e.g. a future RTX 4070 will bring :)
@@martinxyz I’m been obsessed with ray tracing since it been like a on going joke with my friends and I play a lot of comp shooters r6,wz2 ow2 apex so most of these games are older so I can still would like to max out settings
Please cover the game when it releases! It should be a looker and very good for benchmarks
low settings is an older 4core 4thread cpu and a 960, i think most people should be able to run this game on low settings, you can pickup an rx 580 at best buy for like $150 bucks if you need a video card
