Avalanche recommends an RX 7900 XT to play Hogwarts Legacy at 4K/Ultra

We're just less than a month from the launch of Hogwarts Legacy, and Avalanche has now released the PC system requirements. Overall, the game looks pretty heavy, even by today's standards – we're talking GTX 1080 Ti or RX 5700-level performance, just to hit 1080p/60FPS using High settings.

Hogwarts Legacy is generating a lot of hype among the Harry Potter fanbase. Based on the trailers alone, the game could well be the game that Harry Potter fans have been wanting for years. As an open-world RPG, players will be taken to Hogwarts and other familiar places in the wizarding world, where they will master mighty spells and combat skills and gather companions to help them on their journey.

Visually, from what we've seen so far the game looks stunning, and it appears that visual quality is matched by the need for a powerful system to play at max settings. Avalanche Software has divided the system requirements into four performance targets:
