Tuesday Tech Tip: Can I Run This Game on My Computer?
Thanks to John Porter for this week’s tech tip.
Can I run Watch Dogs, Battlefield 4, DayZ, League of Legends, Call of Duty Ghosts, Assassin’s Creed IV, FIFA 15, Counter-Strike, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Crysis 3 or Grand Theft Auto IV? Does my computer meet the minimum or recommended requirements for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or Titanfall? Difficult questions. But evaluating whether or not your computer meets or exceeds hardware requirements is our specialty. Remembering your exact PC hardware specs is tough, deciphering the meaning of a PC game’s minimum requirements is challenging and combining those tasks together is almost impossible for mere mortals. But Can You RUN It does this millions of times every month. See for yourself, takes less than a minute.
