Can my machine run xxx game?

I get asked “Can my machine run this game?” almost daily. Well, an online program from System Requirements Lab has made it so that you can answer that question yourself without knowing your system specifications or the minimum & recommended requirements.

You can select your game from the drop down box or just type it in. Hit run, and it will install a small program to find your system specifications and show you a graph of where your system stands with the requirements. It will go through each one and show you how your machine stacks up. If it’s too low for the game, it will show you a recommendation on what you need to do to get up and running.
