Can I Run this Game???

So you want to know if you can Run a Game? Here's what you Do:

Here is all you need to find out if you can run a game:

1. Go to the following: www.systemrequirementslab.com
2. select your game from the drop down
3. select test (you need Java for auto detection)
4. When the popup window comes up select run
5. when the second pop up window comes up select yes.
6. View the results. It will tell you the minimum and recommended

Now you can check any game in the drop down menu, no need to wait for the forum to get back to you. Yes the Forum knows the answer, but they'll just go to a similar site and get back to you. Now you can check for yourself. Happy Gaming.

Systemrequirementslab is not the best place to go for running games. Its recommendations and answers typically can be worked around.
A friend uses the site and laughed each time it tells him he cant run the games, when go goes ahead and runs them fine anyway.
The site also does not take clock speeds into account.

Overall, there are no tools that can be used to check system capability, not to mention many people know of this.

While it's true that this site gives a general idea as to weather or not you can run a game, it WILL give you a list of system requirements which you can then decide if you need to over clock your CPU, upgrade your ram, buy a new video card (darn, I need a new video card...LOL) ect. I have found that it is difficult to find the system requirements for some games. This site will give you a start as to where you need to make improvements. I overclocked my CPU and bought a new video card so I could play AC Unity.

No site is perfect, but this site will give you a starting point as to what to correct, overclock etc in order to run a game.

Game-Debate is much better.
