Best Hogwarts Legacy settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1650 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1650 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Hogwarts Legacy runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 35FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1650 Super 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 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 35 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 57 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 32 FPS at 4K. Hogwarts Legacy offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1650 Super isn't built for it, so we leave it off. 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 FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	35	61
1440p	21	57
4K	12	32

💡 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.

Effects QualityMedium+4% FPS

Spell and combat effects. Lowering helps in flashy duels.

Fog QualityMedium+3% FPS

Atmospheric fog. A subtle, low-risk saving.

Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS

Surface sharpness — cheap if it fits your VRAM. Ease off on 8GB cards, especially with RT.

Foliage QualityHighbaseline

Plants and grass density across the grounds — a real cost outdoors.

Population QualityHighbaseline
