Not everyone can afford to upgrade their gaming station with the latest GPU and additional RAM to maximize gaming performance. You might want to know if your current PC can handle the latest titles you want to play.
In such cases, finding such information is usually not that difficult. The game includes information about recommended specs so gamers can compare them to what they currently have and see if they are good for use. The recommended specs may not maximize the resolution or show off your gaming PC, but they should be sufficient for gameplay and provide an enjoyable experience. Here’s how to find applicable system requirements and check your PC specs:

What about automatic checkers?
Some tools are designed to automatically determine if your computer can handle a particular game. One example is the System Requirements Lab, where you can search for the latest games.
