Hogwarts Legacy on GeForce RTX 2060 12GB
Yes, at lower settings. The GeForce RTX 2060 12GB meets Hogwarts Legacy's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~50 fps at 1080p high (range 40–60, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1080p, use the medium preset. Its 12 GB of video memory covers the 4 GB the game requires at minimum. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Arc A770 8GB (~61 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 85 | 60 | 36 |
| medium | 65 | 46 | 27 |
| high | 50 | 35 | 21 |
| ultra | 40 | 28 | 17 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: medium preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: low preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 2060 12GB back.
- Processor needed for ~50 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~50 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 2060 12GB: 12 GB
- Minimum spec: 4 GB (+8 GB headroom)
