Hello, I have recently began the process of trying to optimize my PC to play my favorite game. In the process/conversation several people I have met on discord have asked me to share my dxdiag file so they can see my pc specs. Is this a safe thing to do or can information from that file somehow be used maliciliously against you? Is it normal for someone to post this file when asking a question on this forum or in general for people to ask for this file? Thanks in advance for your time!
 
Solution
DXDiag is pretty safe to share but they would be better off asking for speccy info for specs.

its only a text file, it doesn't link to your PC in anyway outside of showing what you have.
Thank you! I'll check out speccy. Now if I could only find a way to figure out if my game is being throttled by my pc specs or my now slower internet that happened as a result of me moving. Appreciate you!
