Best Hogwarts Legacy graphics settings for Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti

The GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti are entry-level video cards from three generations ago. The cards were built for 1080p gaming with compromises. Almost six years since their arrival, neither has held up quite well in recent releases.

However, these GPUs still rank among the most popular graphics cards on the Steam Hardware Survey charts. The cards can run optimized AAA titles even to date. Both GPUs handle Hogwarts Legacy without major problems, which is truly amazing.

Gamers will have to tweak the settings to get a playable framerate with these graphics cards in Hogwarts Legacy. The process can be a bit cumbersome, thus, in this guide, we have listed the best options for the GTX 1050 and the GTX 1050 Ti.

The GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti manage to run Hogwarts Legacy with major compromises

Both the GTX 1050 and the GTX 1050 Ti are quite underwhelming on paper. Some modern video games have started recommending the GTX 1650 as the minimum requirement, a card that is much faster than the Pascal-based entry-level offerings.

Thus, gamers can't expect to max out Hogwarts Legacy at 1080p. Although dropping the resolution is an option, it is not recommended since resolutions like 720p and 900p are way below the modern standard.
