Hogwarts Legacy benchmark on GTX 970: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Hogwarts Legacy FPS with a GTX 970 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 20FPS min 18Poor | 13FPS min 12Unplayable | 5FPS min 4Unplayable |
| High | 26FPS min 23Poor | 17FPS min 15Poor | 6FPS min 5Unplayable |
| Medium | 34FPS min 30Acceptable | 23FPS min 21Poor | 8FPS min 7Unplayable |
| Low | 44FPS min 39Acceptable | 29FPS min 26Poor | 10FPS min 9Unplayable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 68% | GPU 79% | GPU 92% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
It makes no difference which processor you have: with the GTX 970 in Hogwarts Legacy the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Hogwarts Legacy at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 970 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 20 | 25 | 29 |
| 1440p | 13 | 18 | 21 |
| 4K | 5 | 7 | 9 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 970 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 970 is what caps the frame rate in Hogwarts Legacy. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 970 Enough for Hogwarts Legacy?
The GTX 970 delivers 20 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Hogwarts Legacy. This GPU is not enough for Hogwarts Legacy at this resolution. We recommend a more powerful GPU.
At 1440p it gets 13 FPS and at 4K 5 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
