Before you purchase any computer games, most important thing is to check the game’s minimum system requirement because if your computer don’t meet the system requirement, you either experience a huge “lag” or bad graphics or don’t even get to play the game at all! Since the game can’t be played, it’ll end up in eBay. Certainly we don’t want that to happen.
What can you do if you don’t know anything about computer and you don’t even know your own computer’s specification? Of course, you can look up the computer sales receipt and call up the computer shop hoping that they’ll tell you your computer specifications but the pain truth is they are not so free to entertain these kinda calls.
Now you can skip all of that and just depend on the “System Requirements Lab” website to tell you if your computer can run that game.
System Requirements Lab is a FREE web-based service that quickly and automatically tells you if your computer can run a specific product. The entire service is run on a web site with immediate summary and detailed analysis provided both graphically and textually. This service analyzes your computer’s system information and compares it against a product’s specific minimum and recommended requirements. It then instantly provides both a summary and a detailed analysis of your system. In many cases if your PC does not meet a specific requirement then System Requirements Lab provides links to specific solutions so you can run the product.
Here is a summary graph from System Requirements Lab that shows a consumer that they passed the minimum requirement but not the recommended level. This overall analysis is provided as a quick explanation and to show how far or near your computer is to both minimum and recommended requirements.
You not only get an overall summary analysis for each specific product (can you run a product or not), but also a detailed evaluation of how your computer meets each listed requirement.
It’s very simple to run the scan. Just select the game from the drop down list(there is about 400 games and growing) and click the “Can you run it” button. If the game that you want to buy is not in the list, simply select ANY game as the result will show you your computer specifications.
System Requirements Lab states that only your computer’s hardware and system software is evaluated and no personally identifiable information is collected when it is checking your computer.
