How to find out if the game will go to the computer

New games come out of the month per month, and system requirements are growing for them. If your computer is more than two years old, and you never changed the video card and other components in it, then to today, such a computer will be obsolete. Check the compatibility of games with your "hardware" before installation is the best option, since too demanding of them can harm the weak components of your computer. Find out how to check whether this or another game is suitable for your laptop or stationary computer, in this article.

Check if the game will go to your own hands

Old and proven way: you are looking for system requirements of the game, and then check them with your own. Let's try to do it on the example. Take for an example not a new laptop and a fresh Dark Souls III game.

To start, open the browser and enter the search query "System Requirements * Your Game *".

Go to the first site, there is no difference, everywhere you still copied data from the developer's official site. You will see about such a window:

These are all system requirements, details about each line it will be a little later. In the meantime, open your system settings: Go to the Control Panel, select the "System and Security" section.

Click on the "System" tab.

You will see a window with the parameters of your system, but some data, such as a video card, are in the "Device Manager" tab. Click on it.

Now go back to the window with the system requirements of the game in your browser. Start checking from the first line. Operating system: In this case, Windows 7.8 and 10 is suitable. We return to the system tab and see what is written at the top. We have the seventh version of the system, which suits the requirements.

Now we go down to the next line where the processor parameters are located. Left Column - minimum requirements, and right - for a comfortable game. Here you see that the processor frequency is less than it should be, it is only 2.20 GHz. But any processor can be dispersed a little and in the process of performing complex tasks, it lifts the performance by several units. Therefore, try to run the game you can still.

The next line tells about the requirements of the game 8 GB of RAM. Do not confuse the memory operational and physical. The first is assigned only for system processes. Go to the folder and look at how much you have it. OP can be marked like RAM. In this case, its 4 GB is too small even for minimum requirements.

See the photo card options. To do this, go to your device manager and click on the "Video adapter" section. Under it will appear either one line or two. If one line appeared with the word Intel, then you only have a built-in video card and your device is not intended for games at all. The second string is your discrete video card, in this case, GeForce 920m. Letter M means that this series of video adapters is designed for laptops and it is much weaker the same, but without this letter. However, this card is suitable for the game.

The last item is checked by free space on the disk. Go to My Computer, will be written under the disk how much memory remains. Now you know how to check the parameters of the game and your computer. This method is well suited to those who have some knowledge in computer components. If you were hard, then try the second item algorithm.
