How does the system requirements checker work?
Set your PC rig (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS) in the panel above. When you search for a game and visit its page, the checker compares your hardware against minimum and recommended requirements using benchmark scores. Your rig is saved locally, so you only need to set it once.
Are the results accurate?
Results are estimates based on benchmark data. Real-world performance depends on factors like resolution, background tasks, and game optimization. Hardware benchmark data sourced from UserBenchmark.
What if my PC doesn’t meet the minimum requirements?
If your PC falls short of the minimum requirements, the game may still run but with significant performance issues like low frame rates, stuttering, or crashes. Consider lowering graphics settings, closing background applications, or upgrading the bottleneck component (usually the GPU or RAM). You can also check our deals page to find affordable hardware upgrades.
Can I check system requirements for console games?
This tool focuses on PC system requirements since console hardware is fixed and standardized. However, you can browse console game deals for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch on our platform. Console versions always run as intended on their respective platforms without needing to check specs.
What hardware do I need for modern AAA games?
Most modern AAA games in 2025–2026 require at least an Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA RTX 3060 or AMD RX 6600 XT graphics card. For optimal performance at 1440p or higher, aim for an RTX 4070 or better. Check individual game pages for specific requirements.
How do benchmark scores work?
We use benchmark scores from UserBenchmark to rank CPUs and GPUs by relative performance. When you select your hardware, the checker compares its benchmark score against the game’s minimum and recommended requirements. A higher score means better expected performance. Keep in mind that benchmarks measure raw compute power and may not reflect every real-world scenario.
