DarkAnsem Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 how much do you believe system requirements lab is accurate? I want to buy a few demanding games, but I hesitate due to requirements.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonger Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 it says my lappy cannot play oblivion, FO3 or vegas it lies has rather incorrect information programmed into it as my lappy exceeds minimum requirements for all 3 games.(ok - barely exceeds) don't know if it ever says you can run a game when you are below requirementsbut it clearly will tell you that you cannot when you can.

JimboUK Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The minimum and recommended specs released by developers (or by marketing twonks) tend to be works of fiction, if they base their results on them then they won't be very accurate.

Dan3345 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) It's a very circumstantial site. For example, if it says you can run a game, it doesn't tell you at what graphic settings. A lot of people assume because the site says they can run it, that it means they can run it well, which is not the case. Also I have found it to be very inaccurate with AMD parts, and desktops in general. It gets my CPU right, but my GPU is always a 5770 1250mb. Which to my knowledge doesn't exist. 0_0 Edited September 19, 2011 by Dan3345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
