System requirements lab truthfulness


Recommended Posts

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 requirements

but it clearly will tell you that you cannot when you can.

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.

the lab's minimum requirements didn't follow those printed on the game boxes

Well that's something in its favour.

sounds odd

 

they greatly raised the minimum requirements

 

instead of reducing them

With so many different configurations I really don't think it's possible to create an accurate test.

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
