is it accurate?

[Stevee]

hey .

I was wondering if some games will work on my pc .

And a friend suggested http://www.canyourunit.com

I was wondering . .

Is that website accurate ?

Are its results good ? or is it possible it made a mistake and my pc wont be able to run the certain game ?

Never Heard Of It, But It Looks Legit.

theres one easy way, go to

 

Start

Run

then type dxdiag

 

That will you give you your comp specs, so then just compare and contrast with the game requirements of other games, if it doesn't meet the minimum requirements, don't buy the game.

the site works fine. it just compares your computer against the min/recommended specs and tells you where you stack up.

Which means it's pretty much worth nothing since those listings are utter crap. The best way to tell if a given comp can run a given game and a given set of settings is to find a site like anandtech and start checking their CPU and GPU benchmarks to see what performs at what level.

carrying on from here, different cpu's/ram, perform differently with the grade/performance of the motherboard and ram. with games. look at different benchmarks for the game as shadow suggested

I've used it in the past, but it's just as good to compare the specs yourself.

Only use that site for an idea. It's based on your DxDiag, and believe it or not, DxDiag isn't always 100% true.
