Test my PC

Will your computer play your games? Tell us three things and we will show you which games it plays well, which it plays on low settings, and what to upgrade if it falls short.

Where do I find these on my computer?
  1. Processor and memory: on Windows 10 or 11, right-click the Start button and choose System. Look for Processor (type the part like "i5-4460" or "Ryzen 5 3600") and Installed RAM.
  2. Graphics card: press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager, click Performance, then GPU. The name is at the top right. If there are two, use the one that is not "Intel UHD" or "Radeon Graphics".

On most computers this page finds the graphics card for you. What you type is used to work out the answer and then forgotten: we keep nothing.

How it works

Every game's makers say what it needs: a minimum, to play at all, and a recommended spec, to play it well. We compare your graphics card, processor and memory with those for 3,079 games. The graphics card matters most, then memory; the processor is a rough guide only.

If your computer falls short, we tell you which part to upgrade and what to upgrade it to. If it is too old to be worth upgrading, we say so plainly, and show you a gaming PC that would do the job instead.

Already know the game? Use the Game Finder: every game's page has its own "Will my computer play it?" box.

A guide, not a promise: we compare your parts with what each game's makers publish. Games change after updates, and drivers, cooling and background programs all make a difference. Ask us if you want to be sure before you buy.
