Hogwarts Legacy benchmark on RTX 3080 12GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Hogwarts Legacy FPS with a RTX 3080 12GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 92FPS min 67Good | 77FPS min 62Good | 46FPS min 40Acceptable |
| High | 119FPS min 87Good | 100FPS min 80Good | 60FPS min 53Good |
| Medium | 156FPS min 114Excellent | 130FPS min 104Excellent | 78FPS min 68Good |
| Low | 202FPS min 148Excellent | 169FPS min 135Excellent | 101FPS min 89Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 24% | CPU 12% | GPU 25% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3080 12GB. There is 12% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS 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 RTX 3080 12GB with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 92 | 115 | 133 |
| 1440p | 77 | 104 | 127 |
| 4K | 46 | 67 | 85 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3080 12GB does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
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.
With that CPU, the RTX 3080 12GB has headroom to spare in Hogwarts Legacy: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 3080 12GB Enough for Hogwarts Legacy?
The RTX 3080 12GB delivers 92 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Hogwarts Legacy. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 77 FPS and at 4K 46 FPS at Ultra quality.
