I've put almost 20 hours into the game with a 5700 XT and can count on one hand how many times I have noticed "pop-in textures", playing on "High" settings (chosen by the game's benchmark) and 1080p. You can absolutely play any of those listed titles with 8 GB VRAM after a few performance patches they've all received by now.
Yeah, what a joke it wont even run on my 3dfx Voodoo!!
Definitely don't need to 'hold out'. You can 100% play the game on lower settings lol.

If you're a big Harry Potter geek this is a great game. It really is a great Harry Potter game. If you're only remotely interested in Harry Potter or just looking for a game that has magic I would recommend waiting. This is a very sub-par 3rd person Open world adventure.

Personally, I'm a Harry Potter fan but by no means the biggest one. Like others have said I enjoyed the game for about 20 hours or so before it got old. I ended up rushing through it just to complete it. I even had to grind a level or two before I could do the final class mission.

My rating for this is pretty simple: Big Harry Potter fan: This is a great price and you'll enjoy the game 8 out of 10. Average fan or less: Wait until it hits $15 or less. Really not worth it. 5 out of 10.

Quote from SlickAnon :
Anyone with an 8GB GPU should keep holding out on this until they upgrade IMO and let price fall even more. Don't be fooled by the improved framerate from later patches. The way they did it is by compromising how textures are loaded. So the framerate might be okay, but you are going to experience pop-in textures that higher VRAM cards don't. Even at 1080p!

2023 is an extremely punishing year for 8GB GPUs and Hogwarts joins the list of various titles you shouldn't even bother with until you have more than 8GB of VRAM. That includes Last of Us, RE4, Callisto, Dead Space, Jedi Survivor, etc.

If you aren't bothered by the idea of getting a subpar experience, go for it I guess.

Why do you need to run it on high? Just lower the graphics.

If the game is fun, it will still be worth playing

I wasn't suggesting that it's not worth playing, but that it should be backlogged until someone inevitably upgrades their GPU.
I ended up buying it and with a 3070 with DLSS-Q I'm able to maintain 75 FPS at 3840x1600 unless running around the castle or hogsmeade where it will tank into the 40s at times. I do see occasional texture pop in as well which wouldn't occur with a higher VRAM card but the stutter bothers me more.

It's playable I guess, but it's tempting to put it on the backburner until next GPU upgrade. Many of us have backlogs anyway that are far less demanding. Doing so not only allows more time for even more patches and optimization, but even better sales than this one.

Cool game though so far being a few hours in, though the frame drops do spoil it a little bit.

Quote from freakintoddles :
The game is really well made in many ways but ultimately I lost interest after 30ish hours and never picked it back up. I didn't care for the main storyline and the combat got tiring and ultimately I just realized I wasn't having fun playing the game anymore.

Also the lack of any multiplayer at all really killed replayability for me, as well as the fact that your decisions make no difference to the plot so there's really no reason not to learn all of the unforgivable curses.

I felt the same way after about 30 hours as well. Things got way too repetitive and the side quests really started to bore me. It did look amazing, and played well at 1440p on my 3060.

This game sure is holding it's value. I've been waiting for it to drop $30 or below
Hold the line, likely sales during the spooky season are incoming. Much better to enjoy with pumpkin juice and ghosts than in the summer

Hoping it'll be about this price on PS5 by Black Friday. But I'm trying to be like William Wallace in Braveheart with this game.

Ps5 version was $30 on GameFly recently. If you don't mind having a slightly used version then check their website from time to time.

Yep, played in full on deck. With the auto reco-d settings, it works perfectly fine, but SHREDS battery. This game is an absolute sloppy memory leaking disaster, and battery life was miserable. If playing plugged in, no issue, but it's not feasible to use it away from an outlet. I didn't tweak settings - medium in general was just fine for me.
