Try not to get ahead of yourself because it\u2019s possible that the game might not work on your system or will give you very poor FPS (frames per second).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, you\u2019ll learn how to test if your PC can run a game before spending any money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/fortnite-4129124_640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/fortnite-4129124_640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/fortnite-4129124_640-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/fortnite-4129124_640-610x406.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/fortnite-4129124_640-75x50.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Manual Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before anything else, it\u2019s best to go over the process <em>manually<\/em>. Doing so will help you understand what components you have in your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, you will know how to test if your PC can run a game even if the automatic way won\u2019t work. You&#8217;ll also get a better idea of what components on your system need to be upgraded to run the game properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Your Computer\u2019s Specifications<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let&#8217;s lookup the hardware information. Of the many details, focus on the <strong>CPU<\/strong> (processor) speed, the <strong>RAM<\/strong> (installed physical memory), and the <strong>GPU<\/strong> (graphics card) information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You can do this without downloading anything.

You&#8217;ll also see three button to the right side. The only one we are really interested in is the <strong>Can You Run It<\/strong> button. The other two are basically affiliate links to gaming PCs and graphics cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"206\" height=\"257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/buttons.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/buttons.png 206w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/buttons-40x50.png 40w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When you click on the blue button, you&#8217;ll be able to download the detection app on your computer. This is very similar to the scanning app that you download from a site like Dell, which will scan your computer and tell you which drivers need to be updated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"669\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/detection-app.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/detection-app.png 669w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/detection-app-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/detection-app-80x30.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, this app will scan the hardware on your computer and then automatically compare it to the minimum and recommended requirements for the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Need to Upgrade?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you need to decide whether your computer has the specs to run the game or if you need to invest some money in upgrading a core component of your computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help with that decision, we recommend checking out a GPU comparison website like <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gpucheck.com\/gpu-benchmark-comparison\" target=\"_blank\">GPUCheck<\/a>. Here, you can pick your current GPU and pick another GPU that you may want to purchase as an upgrade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/compare-gpu.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/compare-gpu.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/compare-gpu-300x204.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/compare-gpu-73x50.png 73w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, go ahead and pick your current processor and either choose an upgraded processor or click the<strong> Use Same Processor<\/strong> button to see how upgrading just the GPU would increase performance. Click the <strong>Compare<\/strong> button to see the comparison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, choose the desired quality settings you would want to use in your game. By default, it&#8217;s set to <strong>Ultra Quality<\/strong>, which is probably what most people want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/specs-compared-540x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/specs-compared-540x1024.png 540w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/specs-compared-158x300.png 158w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/specs-compared-26x50.png 26w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/specs-compared.png 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>GPUCheck will give you detailed information about each GPU, including the FPS that you would get for different resolutions. So depending on the type of monitor of you have and whether it supports a high refresh rate and is 1080p\/1440p\/4K, you can quickly get an idea if you game will be playable or not. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you excited to try out a new game on your PC?
