Title: Test your PC specs
Post by: linukkis on June 06, 2012, 12:00:11 PM
Hey everyone! Although many of you probably know about this website, I still wanted to share it with those, who are not familiar. Can You Run It (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/:17mf3xzj) is a place where you can find out whether your machine is capable of running a certain game. It scans your computer`s specs and matches them to minimum and recommended requirements.


 




First select a game from the drop down list and press `Can You Run It?":

Then after a few seconds the scan is complete and you get full analysis, which looks like this:

It sure is a useful website if you're tired of searching for requirements on the Internet

Ahh right... what does half size do?

Resolution/2 (eg. 1920x1080 in full = 960x540 in half.) More framerate ingame, less size, but smaller vid res.

Yes, but it's useless and misleading players - e.g. it says that I can't run Mafia 2 while I can  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="(//wink.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

100% true  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue.png" alt="(//tongue.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

Yeah, it also says that i can't run Mafia 2 while I can. But it never says otherwise, for exalmpe, I've never faced a problem when this site said that some game would work when it actually doesn't. So of course, you can never rely only on system requirements by 100%. But if it says it's gonna work, it will. For me at least...

About L.A. Noire -> I have good configuration, but it says that I can't run it.


 




I think that service should be improved.
