PS5 Requires No Specific Settings
PS5 is already optimized for its specifications, so there is no need for any changes. If there are any areas of concern regarding control settings or gameplay settings, feel free to make changes according to your preference.
Troubleshooting for Game Lag
Optimize with Benches Benchmark
Running the Benches Benchmark will automatically adjust the settings according to your PC's specifications. If you find it troublesome to adjust the settings manually or if you're unsure about your PC's specs, it is recommended to run the Benches Benchmark.
Turn off Ray Tracing
When experiencing game lag, always turn off Ray Tracing. Enabling Ray Tracing puts a heavy load on the GPU, so it is recommended to turn it off and restart the game to apply the settings.
Set Detailed Quality Settings to Low
Adjust the settings of elements such as fog and foliage to a lower level if they don't bother you while playing the game. Especially for those with lower specs, it is recommended not to set them to high or above.
Configure System Graphics Settings on Your PC
If you notice high CPU usage and low GPU usage while playing "Hogwarts Legacy," configure the graphics settings on your PC. Turning on GPU scheduling with hardware accelerator will complete the configuration.
