Check If That PC Game Will Run On your Computer

“Can You Run It?” from system requirements lab is a free web service that compares your PC specs against a large, constantly updated database of games and can tell you whether your computer is  sufficient to run any game that you are interested in. It can also give you a breakdown of individual components and tell you exactly where your computer stands in relation to the recommended and preferred specs and what areas or components to change or upgrade.


Imagine the following: you’re interested in getting a game for your computer, but you’re not sure whether your computer meets the minimum requirements. So you do some research and find out the minimum specs, except… you don’t really know if your computer meets them.. Sure, you can ascertain that your CPU has enough muscle and that your memory seems sufficient, but then there’s all that gobblety-gook about DirectX and the required pixel and vertex shaders and yada yada yada. Wouldn’t be simpler and better if you could just log onto a site somewhere and get a simple answer to “can I run it?

Well as it happens “Can You Run It?” is exactly the site you are looking for. Constantly updated with the latest and greatest games, the site will evaluate your system and give a detailed report of all the different requirements and where your computer stands for each one.
