Go to solution Solved by Razarza,

That website just checks what hardware you have and if it doesn't match what they have in their database then it will just tell you can can't run it. They then suggest you buy some prebuilt PCs, it is pretty useless. Just have a look at the games specs, then look at what you have in your PC you should be able to figure it out.

Guys,

 

I've always looked on Can You Run It site (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri) to know if my pc is capable enough to run a specific game. Is it trustworthy? If it's not, can you name a good source of information for that. Thank you :D

 

Its the most useless website ever

It's easier to look at the requirements for the game imo.

Look up the game benchmark - they normally have a good 10-20 graphics card used to show the performance

 

compare your card to one closest to yours

Nice ^^

 

Now let's say that a particular game recommended gpu is a geforce gtx 970 and i've got a 980 ti. How do i define which setting should i use on the game video settings?

 

Sorry for being such a noob, i'm new to all this :P

Just try in game untill you acheive the FPS you want. But if 970 is reccomended and you have a 980ti you would proobably max it.
