The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 6 against the 15 that Hogwarts Legacy asks for at the recommended tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.

That readout is the best this card can do in Hogwarts Legacy: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Hogwarts Legacy the processor beside a Radeon RX 570 4GB changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.

Cheapest way up one tier

graphics card: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

The Radeon RX 570 4GB sits at index 6 and the recommended tier starts at 15.

That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the recommended tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".

This part alone will not get you there. video memory also falls short of that tier.
