    Guns [guns] This is For PC gamers only.

    If you want to know if you are able to run a game on the PC. Pick the game from the drop down menu and click the "Can you run it" Button. That simple.

    It's a pretty good tool IMO, recommended it for some people with lower end PCs a while ago. Thanks for the reminder, Tracer.

    Not a problem Leon. I agree is a good tool to use, I just ran the Far Cry 2 test and passed it above recommended.

    LOL

    That was the first game I looked at on there.   According to it, my current system is supposed to be able to run it.

    What it didn't tell me was that I had to run it at 1024x768 and with all settings at minimum.  Stick out tongue

    Re: This is For PC gamers only.

    LOL but it plays better at 640X480X8bit Stick out tongue. true it will not tell you the resolution on it but at least it will check the OS and the hardware to see if it can be ran.

     I also just ran it and have a 9800GTX as well but with a 5200+, you might want to upgrade the CPU from a 4600 to 5000 or more.

    Re: This is For PC gamers only.

    GameSpot used the same service for a brief moment of time, except it was integrated into their site. 

     

    Thanks for the link, now I can run my computer against all the games and see it say "Fail, Fail, Fail, Fail, Almost Fail, Fail...."  (yay for mobile version of Pentium III and 512 mb of 167 mhz RAM!)

    *resumes not upgrading computer....
