I'm experiencing low frame rates in Hogwarts Legacy, specifically around Hogwarts Castle. My setup includes an i5 12400F CPU, an RTX 5070 Ti GPU, and 32 GB of RAM running at 2666 MHz. I have the game settings on 1080p at Ultra with Ray Tracing and DLSS Quality, but I'm only getting about 35 FPS, while both my GPU and CPU usage are around 30%. Based on benchmarks I've seen, I should be hitting around 60 FPS. Interestingly, my previous GPU, a 3060, performed better with the same settings. For reference, my performance in Cyberpunk 2077 looks good, so I'm not sure what's going wrong here.

That FPS drop is puzzling. It could be a sensor issue, so don't panic just yet. Hogwarts Legacy isn't the best optimized game out there, especially with Ray Tracing. Make sure you've got the latest graphics drivers installed and try switching to DLSS in balanced mode. You might want to toggle on frame generation too if that's available.
Right, and I remember it doesn't handle RT very well. Good tip about DLSS! I might try that myself.
