Best Hogwarts Legacy settings for the AMD RX 590 (2026)

On a AMD RX 590 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Hogwarts Legacy runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 38FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 590 is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Hogwarts Legacy is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 38 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 35 FPS at 4K. Hogwarts Legacy offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 590 isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Hogwarts Legacy at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Hogwarts Legacy: Hogsmeade is a known CPU/streaming stutter spot.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Supports DLSS (RTX), FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Enable it first — Hogwarts is demanding.
Ray Tracing (Reflections / Shadows / AO)Offsaves FPS
Hogwarts’ ray tracing is gorgeous but heavy and historically stutter-prone. Keep Off unless you have plenty of headroom and Frame Gen on.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick over Ultra.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — cheap if it fits your VRAM. Ease off on 8GB cards, especially with RT.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Spell and combat effects. Lowering helps in flashy duels.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Plants and grass density across the grounds — a real cost outdoors.
Population QualityHighbaseline
How many NPCs populate Hogsmeade — leans on your CPU in the busy village.
Fog QualityHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog. A subtle, low-risk saving.
Post Process QualityHighbaseline
Bloom and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
View Distance QualityHighbaseline
How far detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Material QualityHighbaseline
Surface shading detail on walls, robes and props. High is a clean trade over Ultra.
Sky QualityHighbaseline
Cloud and sky detail. A small, low-risk saving.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the ground sharp into the distance — essentially free, use 16x.
