PC Gaming Hardware Compatibility Database.

The modern PC gaming landscape has changed dramatically, split into different performance groups that affect how games run on your computer. Basic gaming now requires a decent graphics card to get smooth gameplay in modern titles. The challenge for gamers today is not finding hardware, but understanding which games require different parts of your computer. Graphics-heavy games like open-world titles with advanced lighting and details demand a powerful graphics card, while games with lots of characters, physics, or online multiplayer depend more on a fast processor. A laptop that is great at one type of game might struggle with another. Our Compatibility Engine compares game requirements against a database of graphics cards and processors. This allows us to estimate not just whether a game will run, but how smooth and sharp it will look on your specific setup. The filters on this page help you find games that fit your hardware. If your laptop has basic built-in graphics, you can filter for games compatible with it. If you want to check if a computer with 8GB of memory can run a game, the memory filter will show you suitable matches. For gamers looking for the most demanding titles, sorting by graphics card demand will show the most visually intense releases first. Comparing these with our performance estimates gives you a clear picture of how well a game will run on your system.
