Just a few hours separate us from the launch of the game of magic and interesting adventures in the exciting world of Harry Potter, which is the game Hogwarts Legacy, which has started to capture viewing numbers on streaming platforms and pre-sales on the various devices on which it was broadcast.

What sets the PlayStation 5 version apart is not only the exclusive access to a mission called “The Haunted Store of Hogsmeade”, but also the variety of operating modes that, by the way, are also distinguished by the Xbox Series X. These operating modes have caused great confusion among players with their different game orientations, whether “performance or quality” with their different screens, which is a very important factor in exploring the capabilities of the device, the screen and the game together.

Here, through this article, we will see together the advantages and disadvantages of each Hogwarts Legacy game mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X, and the differences between each one. But first of all.. Let's first familiarize ourselves with these five modes or modes of operation that you will find at the beginning of the game, or by accessing the game's display settings, where they are the following..

Hogwarts Legacy Execution Standards

1. Fidelity.
2. Fidelity with Ray Tracing.
3. Performance.
4. Balanced.
5. HFR performance.

observation: Each playback mode is highly dependent on the technology your TV or monitor supports and especially whether it supports HDMI 2.1 and 120Hz high refresh rate, as you won't necessarily see all five options.

What is Fidelity's operating mode?

This option allows your game to focus entirely on delivering the best graphical fidelity that Hogwarts Legacy has to offer. This mode will run at a lower frame rate than Performance mode, which we’ll cover later, and will be closer to the average frame rate of 30fps.

This mode supports perfect 4K resolution and enhanced graphics, if your TV screen fully supports this resolution and you want to sacrifice a lot of performance, this option is the best fit for you, but be absolutely sure that the frame rate will not drop below 30 frames/s.

What is Fidelity With Ray Tracing operating mode?

This mode or operating mode is similar to the mode Fidelity, which we talked about a lot above, but it also focuses on showcasing ray tracing technology, and by the way, if you want to sacrifice performance anyway, we recommend that you choose this mode instead of the classic Fidelity mode.

What's wrong with this situation is that Ray-Tracing technology doesn't significantly improve things as some might imagine, but you will notice that the differences will appear in some limited places, especially inside Hogwarts Castle, with sharper shadow effects and reflections with improved lighting effects, but don't forget that some matches in certain locations will suffer significant drops in frame rate.

What is Performance Mode?

Performance mode in Hogwarts Legacy places a heavy emphasis on running the game at its highest natural performance under the 60 FPS cap. This mode does not aim to deliver high resolution and graphical quality, but will achieve UHD or higher in most areas of the game.

It is highly recommended to choose this performance as it is more suitable for most TVs and monitors, especially those that do not support the new HDMI 2.1 port features. There will also be no significant sacrifice in image quality, shadow detail and reflections.

Balanced operating mode

Some gamers may be fooled by the “balanced” operating mode, as it is not what some people think, as it is a special graphics mode available for those playing through a TV or monitor that supports HDMI 2.1 and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. This mode tries to offer a balance between graphical quality, smoothness and performance. This mode still has some issues, so we recommend that you avoid it.

HFR Performance Mode

This mode is another mode for those who have an HDMI 2.1 screen or TV and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, and aims to provide the highest possible performance of up to 120 frames per second, but the return will be a very large sacrifice in the quality of visual graphics, the graphic resolution will only reach on PS5 and Xbox Series X devices up to 1080p.

In conclusion, we remind our followers that the game obtained a rating of 9.5/10 from VGA4A, as it was described as a masterpiece centered on a vast and exciting world closely related to the world of Harry Potter and the wizarding world in general. If you want to enter the adventures of the world of classical magic.. This is your promised game.
