Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSBalanced+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 QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick over Ultra.
Effects QualityLow+8% FPS
Spell and combat effects. Lowering helps in flashy duels.
Foliage QualityLow+7% FPS
Plants and grass density across the grounds — a real cost outdoors.
Fog QualityLow+6% FPS
Atmospheric fog. A subtle, low-risk saving.
Post Process QualityLow+5% FPS
Bloom and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
Population QualityMedium+3% FPS
How many NPCs populate Hogsmeade — leans on your CPU in the busy village.
