Best Hogwarts Legacy settings for the Intel Arc A370M (laptop, 4GB) (2026)

On a Intel Arc A370M (laptop, 4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Hogwarts Legacy runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 32FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc A370M (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Hogwarts Legacy is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 32 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 52 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 29 FPS at 4K. Hogwarts Legacy supports ray tracing and the Intel Arc A370M (laptop, 4GB) can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Hogwarts Legacy at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Supports DLSS (RTX), FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Enable it first — Hogwarts is demanding.
Ray Tracing (Reflections / Shadows / AO)Offsaves FPS
