Portal DSOGaming conducted a focused test of the PC version of Hogwarts Legacy to assess how the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 handles the game on modern hardware. The test system relied on an Intel Core i9-9900K overclocked to 5 GHz paired with 16 GB of 3800 MHz RAM, and it ran 64-bit Windows 10. In 4K with maxed-out graphics settings and ray tracing enabled, the RPG delivered an average of 46 frames per second, with 42 frames per second being the typical recording rate. Activating DLSS 2 raised the frame rate to 76 FPS, while DLSS 3 keeps the game running at well over 100 FPS most of the time, underscoring how upscaling technologies can dramatically boost performance without sacrificing image fidelity. The review includes a video excerpt documenting these results as part of a broader hardware sanity check.
There is a nod to the ongoing Hogwarts Legacy ecosystem, with mentions of in-game discoveries and industry activity, including references to an Easter egg tied to a famous wizarding character and a note about the production background of a popular horror-themed film. These elements illustrate how the game sits within a wider pop culture landscape and how player curiosity can intersect with media crossovers.
