Thanks for the heads up!

It just uses the recommended requirements from the game itself. I was running Crysis and my card passed the minimum requirements because the minimum was a 6800GT.

God help someone running Crysis on a 6800GT.

its an only if u can play games, people know they might have hardware problems, specially wth crysis, even people running quadcore and some gtx's, no pleasing somepeople

not 100% compatible detection with certain variations e.g. laptop gfx cards. But it aint too bad

I've used this with my old man's budget PC when recommending games for him. It's a bit hit and miss, i.e. Call of Duty: UO should have worked but it ran like pap...

An easier URL to remember is canirunit.com.

Why not just read the box? Or better still, just ask on a games forum like here!

Some GPUs are a lot worse than they sound in raw performance terms. Geforce FX 5200 < Geforce 4 MX, for example.

Used that, so fake, and it doesnt detect any overclocking.

It just uses stand alone specs like 2ghz CPU, 4gb memory and 512mb graphic card lol but well, it doesnt know that there can be 40% or more difference between one 2.4ghz 4gb ram and 512gpu and other.

Yes, there's that too. I'd take a 256MB X1800 over a 512MB 7300GS.
