Can My PC Run It? The Ultimate Free System Requirements Checker for Gamers

Before installing a new game, stop guessing — find out instantly if your PC can handle it.
Our free PC requirements checker analyzes your CPU, GPU, and RAM in seconds and tells you whether you meet the minimum or recommended system requirements for more than 13,000 games.

No downloads, no data collection — just fast, accurate results.

Why Checking Game System Requirements Matters

Every game has its own performance threshold. Ignoring system requirements can lead to:

• Low FPS and lag — e.g., running Cyberpunk 2077 on older GPUs.
• Crashes or long load times — limited RAM or slow storage.
• Wasted money — buying a game your computer can’t even launch.
• Reduced visual quality — missing the developer’s intended experience.

How Our PC Requirements Checker Works

Our tool is built for speed, accuracy, and privacy. It never stores personal data and runs directly in your browser.

Step 1 – Analyze Your System

The tool securely detects your CPU, GPU, and available RAM — the core components determining gaming performance.

Step 2 – Search for Any Game

Type a title such as Starfield, Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3, or Minecraft.
Our ever-growing database covers 13 000 + games, from indie hits to AAA blockbusters.

Step 3 – View Your Compatibility Report

The engine compares your specs with each game’s official minimum and recommended requirements.

Step 4 – Read Your Results

Each category shows a clear PASS / FAIL status, for example: RAM – FAIL : 8 GB Detected | 16 GB Required

You’ll know instantly whether you can play comfortably or if an upgrade is needed.

Plan Your Upgrades Smartly

If your system fails, the results show exactly what to improve:

• CPU bottleneck? Upgrade to a modern Ryzen 5 / i7.
• Low FPS? Focus on your GPU — e.g., move from GTX 1060 → RTX 4060.
• RAM limit? Add 16 GB + (verify DDR generation first).

How to Boost Game Performance Without Upgrading

Not every issue needs new hardware. Try these quick optimizations first:

1. Update GPU drivers – get the latest from NVIDIA Drivers or AMD Support.

2. Enable Windows Game Mode for automatic resource management.

3. Close background programs before launching games.

4. Lower graphics settings (shadows, textures, resolution scale).

5. Use SSD storage to cut load times dramatically.
