For Nvidia 40 series users wanting smooth gameplay

[BattlePhenom]

1. Go to Nvidia Control Panel and "Add" Hogwarts Legacy under "Manage 3D Settings" and enable "vsync" and apply.

2. In game turn on Nvidia DLSS and enable frame generation.

3. Enjoy

These are the best settings I found for my 4090. It allows smooth gameplay at high FPS with no screen tearing even with ray tracing max.

you do this in the menu. I have this enabled and I get shutters throughout the gameplay. It's not unplayable per say but it's there and it's distracting.

Are you saying it's not actually turning on frame generation in the menu like it's broke?

The in-game VSync option is disabled whenever you turn on DLSS 3 Frame Gen. It applies its own version of synchronization in order to not interfere with the frame insertions.

I keep hearing about performance issues, I must be lucky. RTX 4080 i9 10900k I've had 0 issues max graphics with DLSS quality + Frame gen. Wonder what it is that's causing the stutters for others, I by no means have anything optimized on this PC. I was even running background programs, and left my adobe premiere open o0.

[BattlePhenom]

In my case I was getting screen tearing with Frame Generation on whether I capped the FPS or not and if I capped it at anything under 120 fps (my refresh rate) it would frame hitch.

This is the solution I came up with as it forces Vsync and smooths out frame times. Out of all the different settings I tested to smooth out gameplay this is the best solution I found so far.

I should note this is in conjunction with Gsync enabled.

The intro section works fine for most people.

Once arrived at Hogwarts then reality hits real hard real fast right in the face. The devs claim the day one patch will fix some of the technical issues. Guess we'll see.

Frame cap, regardless of the tool you apply it with, doesn't mix well with DLSS 3 Frame Generation for some reason, probably the algorithm isn't getting the necessary frames to learn from to draw and insert before being cut out and got stuck.

VSync should be fine however.

for some reason frame generation is (greyed out) and HAGS is on tho even on spiderman i cant turn frame genertaion anymore its like something is interfering ! anyone can help ?

same here i have had 0 issues with the game with my 4080, 64gbs of ram and a i9 29000k
0 stutter or anything for me

persistent 144 fps
at 1440p all maxed with ray tracing

Do you have a 40 series GPU?

Are you using Ray Tracing? That's the biggest issue for stuttering so far in my case. In more demanding areas it can hit the render thread hard making most CPU's the bottleneck. Even my 13900K has issues. With Frame Gen on it masks this issue however.

you mostly have to turn on "gpu acceleration" in the windows settings to enable frame generations, that's at least what I had to do.

And I also hat zero performance / graphical issues

I'll toss in my comment so, if you have a monitor with a high enough refresh rate you can probably get away with not having v-sync on if you enable frame gen but if you have a 120Hz TV like I do. I need a frame cap and v-sync on in the Nvidia control panel to stay somewhere just under my TVs maximum refresh rate. Now that a profile has been added that I can view with NvidiaProfileInspector I can turn on ReBar go back into the game settings. I cranked everything up to ultra (except I left RT shadows off) and then you can select an upscaling technique but have DLSS off so I'm rendering at native 4K with the ability to still have frame gen on and now it's been a lot smoother (I'm like 90% GPU bound with minimal fluctuations) and my minimum fps I've seen wandering all over the castle and through Hogsmeade has been 88fps again at native 4K+ultra settings+frame gen+Rebar. The only visual artifact I'm seeing is markers or nametags in motion get distorted during camera motion but I can live with that.

But why would you want an additional frame cap on top of VSync enabled? Folks prefer frame cap over VSync to avoid the inherited input lag at the risk of suffering screen tearing.

Thanks, works great! Best picture quality is with DLAA though, but then you have to sacrifice quite some FPS…

Same, I use an LG B9 for my display. How were you able to use frame gen without DLSS? Did you force it through NV inspector? Also, what was your reasoning for disabling RT shadows?

Here also no problems game runs amazing at 4K all ultra including raytracing, getting a stable 100+ fps at all times.
