Can I Run Hogwarts Legacy?
Choose the two parts in your machine and this page says whether Hogwarts Legacy will run, roughly what frame rate to expect from Hogwarts Legacy, and what its developer actually asked for when they published the Hogwarts Legacy requirements, with nothing to download and no detection tool to install.
Yes
Yes. The GeForce RTX 4060 is around the card Hogwarts Legacy recommends, which should give you about 66 fps at 1080p (1920 x 1080) on high settings.

Hogwarts Legacy system requirements, as published
Reproduced exactly as the developer of Hogwarts Legacy wrote them, so every figure in this table is theirs rather than our reading of what Hogwarts Legacy needs.
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Intel Core i5-6600 (3.3Ghz) or AMD Ryzen 5 1400 (3.2Ghz) | Intel Core i7-8700 (3.2Ghz) or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (3.6 Ghz) |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB or AMD Radeon RX 470 4GB | NVIDIA GeForce 1080 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or INTEL Arc A770 |
| Memory | 16 GB | 16 GB |
The Hogwarts Legacy requirements above were retrieved from its own Steam listing, app 990080, and reproduced unchanged, and because a patch to Hogwarts Legacy can change them that listing is the authority if a figure here looks stale. The verdict and the frame rate shown for Hogwarts Legacy are ours, modelled from our hardware index rather than measured on a test bench. Steam listing. How we calculate this.
What the Hogwarts Legacy requirements actually mean
The two bars Hogwarts Legacy sets are a long way apart: the minimum card resolves to 11.0 on our index and the recommended one to 30.0, which is 173% more card, so for Hogwarts Legacy the gap between scraping by and the experience the developer had in mind is wider than for most games and the minimum is worth treating as a floor rather than a target.
Of the 89 graphics cards we track, 88 clear the Hogwarts Legacy minimum and 57 clear its recommended spec, so 31 cards land in between: fast enough to start Hogwarts Legacy and slow enough that the settings menu is where the rest of the work gets done.
The cheapest card still on sale that clears what Hogwarts Legacy recommends is the Arc B570 at 30.0 on our index against the 30.0 Hogwarts Legacy asks for, and since everything below it on the current shelf falls under that bar, the Arc B570 is where the Hogwarts Legacy question stops being about the card.
The oldest card in our database that still gets over the Hogwarts Legacy minimum is the GeForce GTX 970 from 2014, which is worth knowing before replacing anything: if what you have is that card or newer, Hogwarts Legacy will start, and the question becomes which settings rather than whether.
Hogwarts Legacy asks for 16 GB of system memory and names no higher figure, so 16 GB is the whole memory requirement for Hogwarts Legacy and anything above it is spare rather than useful.
Hogwarts Legacy states 4 GB of card memory in its own minimum, which is below the roughly 6 GB a 1080p build generally wants and 8 GB for 1440p, so on a card at the Hogwarts Legacy floor the texture setting is the first control to come down and the one that buys back the most.
For its processor minimum Hogwarts Legacy names Intel Core i5-6600 (3.3Ghz) or AMD Ryzen 5 1400 (3.2Ghz), and we deliberately do not map that onto our index: the parts in that string predate our database, so converting them would mean inventing a number rather than reading one, and the Hogwarts Legacy verdict treats the processor as a secondary signal instead.
