Hogwarts Legacy- comparative test of pirated and licensed versions on old hardware

BASIC GAME INFORMATION

We have recently tested similar testing, where performance was compared on new equipment. Now we will find out how licensed and pirated versions behave on old hardware. To test both versions, the same version of the game 1.0.1117238 was used:

pyreten

This test is intended to show the inconsistency of the excuses that hacked versions of games work much better, justifying their pirated downloading. It is also worth noting that we are categorically against piracy, as we support legality, fairness and respect for the work of game copyright holders!

MSI Afterburner

All video cards were tested at maximum graphics quality using MSI Afterburner. The purpose of the test is to determine how video cards from different manufacturers behave under the same conditions. Below is a video of the test segment:
Our video cards were tested at different screen sizes: 1920×1080, 2560×1440, 3840×2160 high graphics quality settings.

In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920×1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.

VIDEO MEMORY CONSUMPTION

after

Testing of video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the program MSI Afterburner. The indicator was based on the results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA with separate screen sizes 1920×1080, 2560×1440 and 3840×2160 with various anti-aliasing settings. By default, the graph displays the most current solutions. Other video cards are added and removed from the schedule at the request of the reader.

Testing was carried out at a resolution of 1920×1080. In the processor test, you can remove or add any processor positions. You can also select any tested video card from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given processor test results (by default, the most productive solution from NVIDIA is selected). Testing takes place on the most powerful NVIDIA and AMD video cards and scales to low-end models.

You can select and buy a processor model or one close to it by following the link from any position of our modular charts from our partner Telemart.

CONCLUSION

Well, as we see the situation is somewhat different, than in ray tracing tests on new video cards. In the hacked version Hogwarts Legacy In many cases, the performance of video cards is higher, while the performance of processor cards is lower, just like in the previous test. In general, the pirated version again works somewhat worse than the licensed version.

This test is intended to show the inconsistency of the excuses that hacked versions of games work much better, justifying their pirated downloading. It is also worth noting that we are categorically against piracy, as we support legality, fairness and respect for the work of game copyright holders!
