Today in this article I'm going to tell you how to fix low FPS and stuttering issue with Hogwarts Legacy game on your Windows computer.

Step 1: Increase the virtual memory in windows

View Advanced system settings 

Initial Size: 1.5 x Total Ram 

Maximum Size: 3 x Total Ram

Now the first step is to increase the virtual memory so the minimum RAM required to play this game is 16 gigabyte I have 8 gigabytes so my calculation shows as per 8 gigabyte but if you have 16 gigabyte or 32 gigabyte so you calculate accordingly.

Step 2: Turn off Ray tracing, set DLSS to quality or balanced, set texture quality to low, turn off upscaling, depth of view, motion blur, film grain, turn off V Sync, enable it in NVidia control panel, turn off the RTX, cap FPS at 60, 75 for now to make it a bit more playable

Now the next step is to turn off these options so launch the game first now go to settings now select display options now over here you can select window full screen you can even try Window mode and then check but now I'm selecting window full screen now once you select window full screen you won't be able to change regulation now if you select Window mode in that case you can if it is set to 4K you can try lower resolution you can set it to 1920 into 1080p you can even lower down more now now if upscale type is set to AMD fsr2 you can try AMD fsr1 or for NVIDIA users you can even try Nvidia NIS and then check now once you select whatever you want to select you can try first of all you can try Nvidia NIS if you have Nvidia card if that does not work you can try EMD fsr1 or AMD fsr2 so whatever you select over here select quality first so if you have selected AMD fsr2 then you can select AMD fsr2 quality you can even try FSR to balance or performance so try quality first if that does not work you can try balancer performance and check which one is working fine for you you can even turn this off if that does not work you can select none over here and then check now scroll down over here you can see Nvidia reflects low latency turn this off scroll down turn off vsync if VSync is on you can turn it off you can enable the vsync in Nvidia control panel if you have Nvidia graphics card now over here you can try uncapped and then check if that does not work many users have kept the FPS so you can also try capping the FPS at 60 75 or maybe 120 and check which one is giving you stable performance so you can also lock the FPS and get a stable performance this has given stable performance to many players so you can try that or you can keep it uncapped now scroll down over here you can see motion blur you can turn this off you can also turn off depth of field so turn all these options off turn off fill green so turn this off now go to Graphics option now over here if everything is set to ultra if Global quality preset is set to ultra you can select High you can even try medium or you can even go for low now scroll down now over here you can see texture quality so set the texture quality to low so select low over here now scroll down at the end over here you can see all the ray tracing options so turn off all the ray tracing options so turn off Ray tracing Reflections Shadows so turn off everything turn off Ray tracing apply the settings and then check the performance now once you have disabled the vsync in game now if you want to enable the vsync in Nvidia control panel open Nvidia control panel so make a right click on the desktop then click on Nvidia control panel now go to program settings over here manage 3D settings then program settings then click on ADD go to the game installation folders click on browse and go to the game installation folder select the game exe file or you can select the game from the list so over here if you see the game select the game now select high performance Nvidia processor and then find vsync so over here you can see vertical sync now over here you can turn this on and then click on apply and then launch the game.
