Question Hogwarts Legacy - Low End

[Ghosting589]

Hello, i want to play HL, but im getting so múch stuttering while in Combat and so much effects. I have low end PC and i would like to figure out , which Component/s is making it Mad, if its my CPU or adding RAM will be enough?
My specs are: Intel Core i5-6400 , AMD Radeon 570 4GB and 8 gigs of RAM

You barely meet the min requirements except you only have 8gb of memory.

• OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 (3.2GHz) or Intel Core i5-6600 (3.3GHz)
• Memory: 16GB of RAM
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 470 (4GB) or Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 (4GB)
• DirectX: Version 12
• Storage: 85GB available space

Hogwarts Legacy supports HDD storage, but SD storage is preferred. With this setup, you can play the game at Low Quality settings (720p/30fps

Both your cpu and RAM are under the minimum requirements and even if you had the minimum spec that doesn’t mean good performance.

Minimum/Low Specs

CPU	Intel Core i5-6600 (3.3 GHz) or AMD Ryzen 5 1400 (3.2 GHz)

RAM	16 GB

NOTES	SSD (Preferred)

as far as main stuttering goes, 8GB ram is below minimum requirements, so upgrade ram first
if youre not on SSD, get one
CPU you could probably ignore, not much diff between 6400 and 6600

Your system, as a whole, is below minimum requirements,

Increasing RAM would be most likely to remove stutter.

I should probably just upgrade from ddr3 to ddr4 and get some mainboard with m.2 slots. Thank you guys for help

ah yes 16GB on ddr3 is waste of moneys

At this point it’s hard to justify spending money on any motherboard that supports your cpu as any gain by going DDR4 will be marginal and you will still be using a cpu that was average performing 7-8 years ago when it released. DDR4 is on the way out being replaced by DDR5. I’d seriously consider drawing a line under this system and put any money towards a new build.

his build survived whole ddr4 era

The i5 6400 is Skylake, right?

First generation using DDR4.

Some boards were ddr3, for skylake.



OP, I wouldn't waste money on that platform. Time for something new. CPU, motherboard, ram, and cooler at a minimum.

That game runs like crap even on newer hardware.
In your case you need a new PC with higher end parts.
A M.2 drive, new board and DDR4 is not going to help really.

You know what, i bought 2x8gb for 40€. And except maybe bigger SSD upgrade this will be my last investment to this build, i believe it will serve couple more years, then i will just give It to my younger brother or my son one day. My hopes for better performance are at minimum but 16gb ram is worth anyway i think. Wish me The best xD i just want to end hogwarts without the stutters when i cant Dodge anything or waiting for map to load. And i will try to clean my SSD so i Can move The game there

I just want to update: i bought 16gb ram and after That , game runs without stuttering, so thank you guys for help , i would never suggest That ram will make such a different performance

RAM amount does make a difference, hence why i suggested it:

Im a bit wiser for now

 

[PsychoPsyops]

I would cast either upgradeo or refundo.
