Can YOU run it?

[Jokke]

I stumbled across this nifty tool today: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest

You simply select which game to test from the drop-down bar at the top of the list and click the blue "Can You Run It" button. After a while, and (on Vista) quite a few "allow" interruptions, it will start calculating, gathering information about your computer. It will then display your result on a scale of "Fail", which means you computer will have big problems running the game, "Minimum", which means that if you pur graphics down to a minimum, you could run it, and "Recommended", which means you computer should have no problems running the game.

A fairly good tool for those of you who don't know what hardware you have, or are in doubt. Test before you buy, and you wont get dissappointed.

yay I mee the minimum sysreqs for crysis and i only fall short on GFX card mem and RAM for rec w00t

[garfield619]

my PC always ends at MINIMUM T__T (Cod4, Crysis, AssasinsCreed)

[Gate28]

I blow away the COD4 recommended, but I run it just below max to keep gfx lag down, and i BARELY meet minimum for AC, but IDC because ive got it on 360.

Gate, what is your GFX? i didnt know that my PC could run NFS pro street and passed the recommended specs XD

I love sysreqlab. That site always boosts my confidence when it tells me my system is good to go for anything. ;)

Seriously tho, it's a great tool for when I'm trying to help friends over the phone/internet about upgrading components for gaming. They can see where their weak points are, and we can move to recommendations from there.

[garfield619]

yes as i could see, just from te GPU of your rig, yes it could almost run EVERYTHING. Cool rig in your siggy tho.

I dont have the minimum requirements but i still play it fine. Theres no sunset or sunrise... or shadows. BUT its still a blast!:bigggrin:

[garfield619]

yes.. it is in the gameplay and not for the graphics after all. as long as you have the major visuals.

GeForce 8600 GT

[garfield619]

wow, but you get minimum in sysq?

[UPSWeezer]

Thats what i have

[garfield619]

lol, ratings in sysq always down on crysis. i remembered Gaming review in youtube about crysis: "wow it has super cool grpahics, BUT YOU NEED A SUPER COMPUTER THAT IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MY WIFE TO PLAY THE GAME". lol

[RatBurger08]

My laptop fails the new games but only on the video card.. everything else is gameworthy :P

*edit when I change the mem allocation to the vid card to 128mb it's now gameworthy :D

Very very true

[pigflipper]

Woah, thats a pretty damn cool website.

[revorocks]

I got like inbetween slow and fast on crysis, i can run everything else fine.

i run crysis on med-high and get like 20-35 fps.

[UPSWeezer]

I run it low-medium. I tried going high but the game crashed :(

[pigflipper]

I can play Crysis on High (or as high as my video card is able to do) and it looks FANTASTIC...for a slide show.

I thought everybody knew about SRtest.

[mas0n]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I don't meet the recommended hardware specs for Crysis.

Woo, good times...
