I tested it in hogsmeade in my full analysis video. Can still hit 60 fps with medium 1080p with fsr 2 quality. Likely most CPU/ram combos from that era wouldn't keep up though
That is an actually really good benchmark video! Messing with the settings as a normal user would do. Subscribed! Just a tip for those that can almoooost hit 60fps, set your monitor refresh rate to 50Hz and use V-Sync. It will be smooth without having to choose only between 30 or 60 fps locked.
Really interesting to see this sort of thing. I know it doesn't effect me at all since I have a 4000 series card, but its cool to see some of the upscalling technology used with older cards
After the intro when you get to roam Hogwarts it becomes an entirely different game that hardly functions for a lot of people. Others it’s completely fine though even plenty of people with 10 series cards which is strange. Personally I have a 3080ti/R9 5900x build with 32GB of ram installed to an SSD and when i roam the castle and enter cutscenes the game doesnt work. Eventually after playing a few minutes the game locks at 10fps until i close the game every time. All of this started during the sorting hat scene and my game was frozen at 2 fps until i restarted.
Thats classic behaivour for gpu vram full. I had that with my 3080 in other games. Try lowering Res or Texture Details and try again. I had that in Gostwire Tokyo was unplayable after a few Minutes, then i lowered Texures bt one Level and everything was suddenly fine.
I have a 1060 and had no trouble in the opening part. The moment I got to Hogwarts it was like someone tied an anchor to my FPS. Since then I've dropped it as low as I can, it looks like a PS2 game, and still get stutters.
With this game I decided to finally pull the plug and upgrade my PC .. had the 1060 for many years now. Upgrading to a 2080 ti. Overall, 1060 is definitely playable. You get a drop in densely populated areas but even then it’s still playable. Really happy with this game
Thanks for the video as always. The thing is most people won't be running a GTX 1060 with a 7700X. Lol. I know you built the new computer for testing the new high end cards but I think the older system is somewhat more realistic to the performance other people will get with a 1060. It's also nice to see the clock speed and utilization of each thread on benchmarks as well. Helps people see how well a game distributes the load across the cores. Just some suggestions.
Actually having a high powered cpu makes no difference because it’s being severely bottlenecked by the GPU. You would actually get better performance out of pairing it with a cpu of equivalent generation.

I just got a 1060 to keep me gaming while my 3080 is out for warranty repair after the ports stopped displaying and I can honestly say I'm still shocked by how much the 10 serise has to give they are still a very good choice for 1080p gaming and an amazing budget option
high fsr 2 :) has to be playable and hey i completely agree with you saying anything below medium is not gaming experience xD and nice video i liked it
I am on GTX 1650 and playing at 1080p at medium settings, except for spell effects, material and texture qualities and NPC quality which I put on high. I have capped it at 60fps, but it doesn't get to that target all the time for obvious reasons.
im playing on a 3070 and im playing on ultra preset with DLSS quality on 0.33 sharpen with 60 FPS cap. gpu utilization sits around 40% until the game scuffs itself and drops fps to 15 fps occasionally with 100% utilization. but other then those drops the game runs flawlessly. 8 hours playtime already and 0 crashes. dont run RT on ultra tho, in cutscenes i droped down to 5 FPS
it seems like this game is at least well optimized, my 1060 can still run it well enough. Dead space simply looks too much for my old card, but i might be able to play this on High FSR quality
Dead Space 2 uses a hell of a lot of DX12 functions, which were designed to improve FPS at no visual fidelity loss. That was the entire purpose of DX12 and Vulkan - better performance. The 1060's have zero hardware support for DX12 / Vulkan functions, they simply emulate it through drivers - hence zero performance boost for that card in any DX12 / Vulkan games (even negative performance "gains" in some circumstances). The RX580 is far better, has double the framerate of the 1060 6GB in Dead Space remake, for example. Nvidia simply lied on their box art. Again. But they managed to sell 700% more cards than AMD's 580's. Again.
Acer Nitro 5 rtx 2060 16gb ram & i7-9750h Runs the game solid at 80fps and steady at medium settings with dlss quality on. After the sorting Hat and basically everywhere inside hogwarts i'm experiencing massive stutters and fps drops to about 20-ish. Anyone else this issue?
@@eventpunt1153 seems like everyone on Reddit is having this problem, including mega powerful rigs. GamingTech even reports drops in the same areas (courtyard, running in and out of rooms in the castle) on PS5
i had to laugh when you opened the settings and everything was on ultra. i just sold the 6gb strix version and it was an amazing ride. i played a bunch of titles on 4k with this card, the 6gb really stand out when you consider how much vram the 30's cards have
I think Avalanche should really focus on optimisation, alot of people like myself are still running older hardware because of the cost of graphics cards these days, there is alot of people who simply cannot afford to upgrade for the sake of upgrading. Generally speaking I don't mind lower frame rates, 30-40 is playable for me. The issue is inconsistent frame rates, when a game is stable at 30 frames you kind of just get used to it. When a game is like Cyberpunk and frames will go from 60 and suddenly plummet to 30, you notice it more.
"quality" goes as low as 720p, I'd rather use RSR or NIS directly from the driver and go 900p, definetly higher image quality, for me almos unnotizable
i have a question, amd has vsr and i think nvidia has its own version too and wanted to see if u can start doing those benchmarks too because there are rarely any of those types of testing, for example use vsr + fsr 2 or any upscale tech and see if it has more gains in fps/visuals or if it has a hit but still looks as good or better than native 1080p
well, not a fair comparison at all, considering you are using a complete overkill of a CPU to test this, i get that your point was seeing how the 1060 would perform but the main issue this game is facing atm is CPU bound, not GPU, and most people won't have an overkill of a duo like you used in this test, so for any viewer seeing this, take this with a grain of salt and don't expect your game to run the same way, specially if you low end GPU is paired with a similar level CPU, you will definetively going to have issues.
Just a FYI for fellow 1060 owners: - If you have Samsung memory chips on your card (check in GPU-Z) you can set the memory clock to +500MHz and gain a bit of performance, in most cases you have the chip that was rated for higher speed - Undervolt your card through curve - you will have way more stable clock and performance - for example my Gigabyte one runs at 1911MHz 0,931v and gets better results than stock settings (it quickly goes down to 1822MHz due to thermals) - I get around 5-10 fps boost this way Daniel seems to have really nice chip with that clock getting close to 2GHz - could probably squeeze more performance with OC'ing that memory clock though!
Look at the temperature. This video card is throttling. Most likely he disabled the cooler. I have a Manli GTX 1060 with a turbine and the GPU reaches more than 2100Mhz and I keep the memories at +600 MHz (9200 MHz) and all of this in Forspoken in high demands areas.
xess is a neural network like dlss. Technically fsr(2.0+) , dlss ,xess all use a temporal data set for reconstruction. xess does better aliasing removal dlss gives a small % better performance and xess runs loads better on intel hardware due to support for it vs the version everyone else gets. Nvidia and intel just need to get together and make a method together " wink wink" since amd isnt going to support hardware ai supported upscaling( imho its not needed)
Good benchmarking method, easy to watch and understand, however it is significantly flawed. No GTX 1060 owner will have 16GB+ RAM and such powerful CPU paired with this GPU. While it is a great GTX 1060 benchmark in a vacuum, it is hardly showing real life experience that an actual GTX 1060 gamer will get. Maybe try cutting the RAM amount and turning off CPU cores and limiting CPU freq to emulate a more relatable gaming rig with GTX 1060.
I think just playing at 1080p on medium with no upscaling would be the way to go for this card for this game. Perhaps with it frame-capped at 40-45fps? Would be interested in how a 3060 & 6600xt handles this game
Well done but please try these settings when you are in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. Hogsmeade absolutely crushes my 1080 OC and I7-6700K to drops around 20-30fps on any setting. Any recommendations?
I have a NVIDIA GTX 1070, Core i7, 16GB and the game still crashes sometimes :") on Medium (gonna try Low), FSR2 helped a lot I feel like my desktop ASUS ROG computar is strong enough
MY Gf wants to play this game on 1080p but she only had a 1050ti. I thought It wouldn't have gone past 40 fps so we bought a 3070 for her. Looks like with the upscaling it is actually quite playable. We will still install the 3070 thought.
Why install the 3070? Just put it on the table and use it as a vase. Run the game in 720p upscaled, low settings, you'll be good for 30fps on that 1050Ti! And the flowers will be happy in their new home.
sooo.. i got hogwarts legacy today and the fps is horrid. everything is on low in setting, vsync, motion blur and all the other options are turned off, my upscaling type is AMD FSR 2 with ultra performance. I can barely play the game since I have major fps drops frequently, my driver is up to date and I do not have any extra applications open, wtf am I doing wrong. (I have gtx 1060 6gb and i7 8700)
its better to test the hogwarts parts of the game. the early parts are not very demanding at all. i could run ultra in 2k untilt he tutorial was done. now i m forced to play in early ps3 era graphics LMAO. definitely worth to buy the deluxe edition only to pray for a day 1 fix patch and not play till then. gpu 3070, cpu i7-10700F, 32 gbs. absolutely pissed T.T

I had a 1660 super for a while, it was a great card for 1080p if you don't mind turning the quality settings down... I was even playing Cyberpunk 2077 on it until I got my 6700xt.
You're a man that makes smart buying decisions, I see. I have a 1660S in a laptop, and its been perfect this last 2 years, for the price I paid. Handy to keep by the bedside etc. I still have an RX5700XT in my desktop but I'm looking at the 6700XT (or maybe 6800) later this Spring.
@@TheVanillatech the 6700xt is a very fast card. I've been using it at 1080p, I'm going to have to get a 1440p monitor one of these days to make full use of the power.
@@brendanhoffmann8402 I know it's a fast card. The question I'm asking myself is - what makes more sense for what I play? The 6700XT or 6800. Both are identical price/performance. Only 10-15% difference in FPS depending on the game. I'll see what it looks like at the end of March. I game on a 43" OLED TV, from 4K to 1440p to 1080p. Depending on the game etc. Sometimes even 1600x1200.
@@ayanchatterjee9601 Maybe. If the price difference is 10-15%, probably. But if I don't NEED to spend that much, I will save the money and get the 6700XT. An extra £100 is a day out with the kids, or 5 takeaways, or three bottles of whiskey.
I'm wondering if I'll be able to run it at 2K60fps with a 6700xt and 16gb of ram or if I'll actually have to buy another 16 gigs, considering the 6700xt has 12gb of vram
I hope you're right, but seeing how the ram utilization for 1080p here was a bit over 16gb on ultra, I wonder if it could go higher for 1440p. The official requirements also specified 32gb for 2K ultra. I'm hoping I can get away with 16 due to the larger vram size on the 6700xt
HELP! Can anyone tell me why my Razer laptop (2018) 16GB ram with Nvidia 1060, wants to run Hogwarts Legacy on LOW, when I tried to bring it up, the cutscenes and the battles were so awful! What should I do? Tips?
On the contrary having this I found the issue was in the scene entering Hogwarts to go to the sorting hat and it always crashed after the first attempt. First attempt actually made it to the sorting Hat and allowed me to choose a house but crashed instantly after. Had about 6 crashes on the way to the sorting hat. Hoping this may work for me and I can hold out til I get a new PC.
@@innocentiuslacrim2290 Ya I feel it's likely is a memory leak bug. There are lots of posts of memory errors and I've gotten it there as well or temporary freezing and crashing. Even high end PCs keep getting responses on crashes or fps loss. On the contrary someone had a video of playing on 1030 fine in comparison to some on their 3060. On the side note for what it is following this the game still looks great and only stuff like that does it seem to crash. Notably it seems people are having issues with memory spiking to 95% or their ram using 28 gb of 32 gb. Everyone seems to be throwing down random fixes. Page file increasing as example. On the contrary areas seemingly heavily afflicted are Hogwarts regions and transitioning into new areas and cut scenes. I think it's a bug and that it's likely the game and just requires a patch. New games always tend to have a few bugs that need smoothing out. Maybe someone will make mods to smooth things out as well. Who knows. Anyway from Twitch streams the game looks fun and the combat looks a lot more fun after watching those streams then it did with all those gameplay trailers so can't wait til it is fixed.
Appears to be a well optimized game. Quite impressive to be running the game at 60 fps in medium settings with an old graphics card. Quite ironic that AMD is helping out old Nvidia cards..
My 5900x/3070ti setup can't pretty much get an average of 35 fps and dips to some points below 10 fps no matter what settings I use (acording to Avalanches chart I should be able to play Ultra 1440 at 60 fps). Drivers are updated and I very rarly get to %100 use on both. Any idea of how to fix?
well with my rtx 3080 I had 130+ fps on this scene and when I get to hogwarts I drop sometimes down to like 40 so this start scene is not as demanding but i runs usually between 60-100 fps
Yet another game I am going to pass on since it does not seem to be able to be run with a somewhat good PC with the FPS I desire in this day and age. It really hurts me to see PC gaming going into a direction where only the ppl with money can enjoy the newest games. Thanks for the videos tho
People with a 1060 do not care about 60fps at this point. Running it at 30 is enough for them, I believe. So the Ultra is very good cuz now they can go medium 1080p and have a good experience. The game is running surprisingly well for the daunting requirements they put out.
A LOT WORSE than an equally priced RX 6700XT. Like, probably 30% slower. But hey. I'm a moron too! I bought the 3060 and now suffer shit FPS and live in perpetual misery. But I always buy nVidia cos - they are just better. Slower, more expensive, but .... just better.

Thanks for this! Super appreciated my man. Could you possibly test out hogsmead on the next test (If you do any more)? I noticed it was a pretty demanding area :S
Hi Daniel, would be great if you could do the same test for 3080, also please include Hogwart's gameplay as it's the most GPU heavy! Thanks
U can't go for hogwarts. As soon as u in hogwarts, do i get 1-15 fps and crashes come real quick. And I got the 4070ti...., pc players got scamed big time. Don't buy it, if u still can.
@@jesushomeboi it's fine even for my 1650s wth you're talking about 🤨
@@lincorecybergnida something wrong with his $800 gpu
hi daniel just to let you know i have a gtx 1060 6gb and you help me a lots with this thank you so much brother love from turkey
I just got a 1060 to keep me gaming while my 3080 is out for warranty repair after the ports stopped displaying and I can honestly say I'm still shocked by how much the 10 serise has to give they are still a very good choice for 1080p gaming and an amazing budget option
Definitely worth a try to do a walkabout through Hogsmeade.
high fsr 2 :) has to be playable and hey i completely agree with you saying anything below medium is not gaming experience xD and nice video i liked it
I imagine his kids being mesmerised with the game just wanting to watch it and our man spending more time in the menu than in game for us
I am on GTX 1650 and playing at 1080p at medium settings, except for spell effects, material and texture qualities and NPC quality which I put on high. I have capped it at 60fps, but it doesn't get to that target all the time for obvious reasons.
thanks for uploading so quickly, could you try something arounf the 3070 level next please
im playing on a 3070 and im playing on ultra preset with DLSS quality on 0.33 sharpen with 60 FPS cap. gpu utilization sits around 40% until the game scuffs itself and drops fps to 15 fps occasionally with 100% utilization. but other then those drops the game runs flawlessly. 8 hours playtime already and 0 crashes. dont run RT on ultra tho, in cutscenes i droped down to 5 FPS
it seems like this game is at least well optimized, my 1060 can still run it well enough. Dead space simply looks too much for my old card, but i might be able to play this on High FSR quality
Dead Space 2 uses a hell of a lot of DX12 functions, which were designed to improve FPS at no visual fidelity loss. That was the entire purpose of DX12 and Vulkan - better performance. The 1060's have zero hardware support for DX12 / Vulkan functions, they simply emulate it through drivers - hence zero performance boost for that card in any DX12 / Vulkan games (even negative performance "gains" in some circumstances). The RX580 is far better, has double the framerate of the 1060 6GB in Dead Space remake, for example.
Nvidia simply lied on their box art. Again. But they managed to sell 700% more cards than AMD's 580's. Again.
Can we investigate the reports of stuttering once we get to Hogwarts and the sorting ceremony?
Acer Nitro 5 rtx 2060 16gb ram & i7-9750h Runs the game solid at 80fps and steady at medium settings with dlss quality on. After the sorting Hat and basically everywhere inside hogwarts i'm experiencing massive stutters and fps drops to about 20-ish. Anyone else this issue?
@@eventpunt1153 seems like everyone on Reddit is having this problem, including mega powerful rigs. GamingTech even reports drops in the same areas (courtyard, running in and out of rooms in the castle) on PS5
When I got sick of tweaking Cyberpunk in my old PC, I forced 50fps in the game and 50hz in my monitor. Sometimes ditching 60fps is the only solution.
i had to laugh when you opened the settings and everything was on ultra.
i just sold the 6gb strix version and it was an amazing ride. i played a bunch of titles on 4k with this card, the 6gb really stand out when you consider how much vram the 30's cards have
I think Avalanche should really focus on optimisation, alot of people like myself are still running older hardware because of the cost of graphics cards these days, there is alot of people who simply cannot afford to upgrade for the sake of upgrading. Generally speaking I don't mind lower frame rates, 30-40 is playable for me. The issue is inconsistent frame rates, when a game is stable at 30 frames you kind of just get used to it. When a game is like Cyberpunk and frames will go from 60 and suddenly plummet to 30, you notice it more.
The higher setting aren't really applied properly since it can't use higher res textures due to lack of vram
"quality" goes as low as 720p, I'd rather use RSR or NIS directly from the driver and go 900p, definetly higher image quality, for me almos unnotizable
I was waiting for your benchmark to see if I buy the game or not, can you try with the rx 6800 xt?
i have a question, amd has vsr and i think nvidia has its own version too and wanted to see if u can start doing those benchmarks too because there are rarely any of those types of testing, for example use vsr + fsr 2 or any upscale tech and see if it has more gains in fps/visuals or if it has a hit but still looks as good or better than native 1080p
well, not a fair comparison at all, considering you are using a complete overkill of a CPU to test this, i get that your point was seeing how the 1060 would perform but the main issue this game is facing atm is CPU bound, not GPU, and most people won't have an overkill of a duo like you used in this test, so for any viewer seeing this, take this with a grain of salt and don't expect your game to run the same way, specially if you low end GPU is paired with a similar level CPU, you will definetively going to have issues.
Cool got the message. I'll save for a 3060 ti. I saw one used for 330euro
Premetto di non capirne molto, per questo gioco è meglio il Nis o il FSR 2.0? Grazie in anticipo
Thanks for the helpful Content!
Just a FYI for fellow 1060 owners:
- If you have Samsung memory chips on your card (check in GPU-Z) you can set the memory clock to +500MHz and gain a bit of performance, in most cases you have the chip that was rated for higher speed
- Undervolt your card through curve - you will have way more stable clock and performance - for example my Gigabyte one runs at 1911MHz 0,931v and gets better results than stock settings (it quickly goes down to 1822MHz due to thermals) - I get around 5-10 fps boost this way
Daniel seems to have really nice chip with that clock getting close to 2GHz - could probably squeeze more performance with OC'ing that memory clock though!
Look at the temperature. This video card is throttling. Most likely he disabled the cooler.
I have a Manli GTX 1060 with a turbine and the GPU reaches more than 2100Mhz and I keep the memories at +600 MHz (9200 MHz) and all of this in Forspoken in high demands areas.
Can’t wait for the 6800xt performance test
xess is a neural network like dlss. Technically fsr(2.0+) , dlss ,xess all use a temporal data set for reconstruction. xess does better aliasing removal dlss gives a small % better performance and xess runs loads better on intel hardware due to support for it vs the version everyone else gets. Nvidia and intel just need to get together and make a method together " wink wink" since amd isnt going to support hardware ai supported upscaling( imho its not needed)
Good benchmarking method, easy to watch and understand, however it is significantly flawed. No GTX 1060 owner will have 16GB+ RAM and such powerful CPU paired with this GPU. While it is a great GTX 1060 benchmark in a vacuum, it is hardly showing real life experience that an actual GTX 1060 gamer will get. Maybe try cutting the RAM amount and turning off CPU cores and limiting CPU freq to emulate a more relatable gaming rig with GTX 1060.
Please test at the Hogwarts yard since this is the most challenging place graphically
I think just playing at 1080p on medium with no upscaling would be the way to go for this card for this game. Perhaps with it frame-capped at 40-45fps? Would be interested in how a 3060 & 6600xt handles this game
Probably 1080 ultra at 60-70 fps
Im playing on this gpu right now, mine is the 3gb version, with everything on low it gets steady 60 fps.
Well done but please try these settings when you are in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. Hogsmeade absolutely crushes my 1080 OC and I7-6700K to drops around 20-30fps on any setting.
Any recommendations?
If you are dropping regardless of graphics settings it sounds like a CPU or ram issue.
@@danielowentech ye, makes sense. Got an I7-6700k and 16Gb of DDR4.
@@SiriusZcs You need better CPU
I think Xess has the best looks, but there is like blurring further from the center, like a FOW style.
XeSS on arc gpu look even better
XESS in intel arc and other card use different version of XeSS
are 32 gb of ram a must for this game? i have 16 and i am on 1440p with a 3070
From the newest recommended requirements for higher settings it is.
Thanks for covering this so quickly. Hopefully it boosts your channel in the YT algorithm.
what about ryzen 7 1700 though ?
will be able to pull solid 60 fps with 1660 super ?
I have a NVIDIA GTX 1070, Core i7, 16GB and the game still crashes sometimes :") on Medium (gonna try Low), FSR2 helped a lot
I feel like my desktop ASUS ROG computar is strong enough
man i dont know whats going on with my pc. I have a gtx 1080 + i7-7700 and im getting terrible fps in this game. Literally like 20-30 fps
MY Gf wants to play this game on 1080p but she only had a 1050ti. I thought It wouldn't have gone past 40 fps so we bought a 3070 for her. Looks like with the upscaling it is actually quite playable. We will still install the 3070 thought.
Why install the 3070? Just put it on the table and use it as a vase. Run the game in 720p upscaled, low settings, you'll be good for 30fps on that 1050Ti! And the flowers will be happy in their new home.
XeSS work best on intel arc gpu
The other cards get worse image quality and fps than arc when using XeSS
sooo.. i got hogwarts legacy today and the fps is horrid. everything is on low in setting, vsync, motion blur and all the other options are turned off, my upscaling type is AMD FSR 2 with ultra performance.
I can barely play the game since I have major fps drops frequently, my driver is up to date and I do not have any extra applications open, wtf am I doing wrong.
(I have gtx 1060 6gb and i7 8700)
Thats pretty good, I wonder how Arc does
its better to test the hogwarts parts of the game. the early parts are not very demanding at all. i could run ultra in 2k untilt he tutorial was done. now i m forced to play in early ps3 era graphics LMAO. definitely worth to buy the deluxe edition only to pray for a day 1 fix patch and not play till then. gpu 3070, cpu i7-10700F, 32 gbs. absolutely pissed T.T
Try benchmarking after playing intro and getting out of Hogwarts :) Intro is super optimized while later game gets worse optimized
Congrats on your youtube award!

Really contemplating buying this game just wondering how a 1080 would run this game.. but nobody is uploading 1080 test videos lmao
another W video from Daniel Owen shocker
I had a 1660 super for a while, it was a great card for 1080p if you don't mind turning the quality settings down... I was even playing Cyberpunk 2077 on it until I got my 6700xt.
You're a man that makes smart buying decisions, I see. I have a 1660S in a laptop, and its been perfect this last 2 years, for the price I paid. Handy to keep by the bedside etc. I still have an RX5700XT in my desktop but I'm looking at the 6700XT (or maybe 6800) later this Spring.
@@TheVanillatech the 6700xt is a very fast card. I've been using it at 1080p, I'm going to have to get a 1440p monitor one of these days to make full use of the power.
@@brendanhoffmann8402 I know it's a fast card. The question I'm asking myself is - what makes more sense for what I play? The 6700XT or 6800. Both are identical price/performance. Only 10-15% difference in FPS depending on the game. I'll see what it looks like at the end of March.
I game on a 43" OLED TV, from 4K to 1440p to 1080p. Depending on the game etc. Sometimes even 1600x1200.
@@TheVanillatech 6800
@@ayanchatterjee9601 Maybe. If the price difference is 10-15%, probably. But if I don't NEED to spend that much, I will save the money and get the 6700XT. An extra £100 is a day out with the kids, or 5 takeaways, or three bottles of whiskey.
i love this sort of benchnark
I'm wondering if I'll be able to run it at 2K60fps with a 6700xt and 16gb of ram or if I'll actually have to buy another 16 gigs, considering the 6700xt has 12gb of vram
Going from 16GB to 32GB RAM will have zero (ZERO!) effect on your FPS in this, or pretty much 99% of other games right now.
I hope you're right, but seeing how the ram utilization for 1080p here was a bit over 16gb on ultra, I wonder if it could go higher for 1440p. The official requirements also specified 32gb for 2K ultra. I'm hoping I can get away with 16 due to the larger vram size on the 6700xt
HELP! Can anyone tell me why my Razer laptop (2018) 16GB ram with Nvidia 1060, wants to run Hogwarts Legacy on LOW, when I tried to bring it up, the cutscenes and the battles were so awful! What should I do? Tips?
On the contrary having this I found the issue was in the scene entering Hogwarts to go to the sorting hat and it always crashed after the first attempt. First attempt actually made it to the sorting Hat and allowed me to choose a house but crashed instantly after. Had about 6 crashes on the way to the sorting hat. Hoping this may work for me and I can hold out til I get a new PC.
@@innocentiuslacrim2290 Ya I feel it's likely is a memory leak bug. There are lots of posts of memory errors and I've gotten it there as well or temporary freezing and crashing. Even high end PCs keep getting responses on crashes or fps loss. On the contrary someone had a video of playing on 1030 fine in comparison to some on their 3060. On the side note for what it is following this the game still looks great and only stuff like that does it seem to crash. Notably it seems people are having issues with memory spiking to 95% or their ram using 28 gb of 32 gb. Everyone seems to be throwing down random fixes. Page file increasing as example.
On the contrary areas seemingly heavily afflicted are Hogwarts regions and transitioning into new areas and cut scenes. I think it's a bug and that it's likely the game and just requires a patch. New games always tend to have a few bugs that need smoothing out. Maybe someone will make mods to smooth things out as well. Who knows. Anyway from Twitch streams the game looks fun and the combat looks a lot more fun after watching those streams then it did with all those gameplay trailers so can't wait til it is fixed.
I keep saying this and here it goes again: create a custom resolution for 1920x1080@50hz and play at 50 FPS if you can't hit 60.
Will i get performance in the same ballpark with an RX480? (i3-10105)
Appears to be a well optimized game. Quite impressive to be running the game at 60 fps in medium settings with an old graphics card. Quite ironic that AMD is helping out old Nvidia cards..
why do you have to play at 60 fps? 40/50 is fine
7:13 why could you cap to 30 fps? 60 is the smallest for me.
Hey, Im also playing with a 1060 6GB but my game crashes even on the low settings. Can somebody help?
Can you do one with a mid tier card?
Do benchmark in Hogwarts yard :) You'll see difference. These intro sequences almost has no drops.
My 5900x/3070ti setup can't pretty much get an average of 35 fps and dips to some points below 10 fps no matter what settings I use (acording to Avalanches chart I should be able to play Ultra 1440 at 60 fps). Drivers are updated and I very rarly get to %100 use on both. Any idea of how to fix?
well with my rtx 3080 I had 130+ fps on this scene and when I get to hogwarts I drop sometimes down to like 40 so this start scene is not as demanding but i runs usually between 60-100 fps
Is there any change to run this game on my i7 7700 3,6GHz, gtx1060 6GB and 16GB RAM. I mean medium settings max.
Yet another game I am going to pass on since it does not seem to be able to be run with a somewhat good PC with the FPS I desire in this day and age. It really hurts me to see PC gaming going into a direction where only the ppl with money can enjoy the newest games. Thanks for the videos tho
People with a 1060 do not care about 60fps at this point. Running it at 30 is enough for them, I believe. So the Ultra is very good cuz now they can go medium 1080p and have a good experience. The game is running surprisingly well for the daunting requirements they put out.
Looking forward for an rtx 3060 test at 1440p i really want to get it but i dont know if its gonna run
A LOT WORSE than an equally priced RX 6700XT. Like, probably 30% slower.
But hey. I'm a moron too! I bought the 3060 and now suffer shit FPS and live in perpetual misery. But I always buy nVidia cos - they are just better. Slower, more expensive, but .... just better.
Wait the game is using over 16GB Ram?
Doesn't cyberpunk use less than 8?
Yes, in the latest new system requirements it recommends 32GB RAM(definitely on higher settings).
those pre release spec pages were WAY off.
I wonder what would be the best settings for a 1650 ? my game insta put everything in low having some stuttering when changing settings
Great low-end breakdown
Best video Man really nice
Can you do 3060ti next please 🙂
Can you test hogwarts legacy on 1060 3gb ?
Unfortunatly this Test is inaccurate cuz you didnt Play Till the actual ceremony where Quality significantly Drops.
