Game system requirements checker
Pick your processor and graphics card, then pick a game: the tool reads the minimum and recommended requirements Steam publishes and tells you, component by component, which ones you clear and which ones you miss.

Nothing is installed and nothing is scanned. A browser can expose roughly how much memory the machine has and the name of the graphics renderer, and nothing else.
The game
Games outside the prebuilt catalog are read live from the Steam store.

Tier comparison, not a benchmark. It answers whether a part sits above the bar a publisher named; frame rates depend on settings, resolution, drivers and the game itself.
FAQ
- Does it scan my computer?
- No. Nothing is installed and no scan runs. You choose your parts from the same catalog the build planner uses; the browser can only offer hints such as installed memory and the graphics renderer string, and those are filled in only if you press the detect button.
- How does it compare two different graphics cards?
- Each card carries an approximate tier number on a single scale, so a comparison answers whether your card sits above the bar the publisher named. It is a tier estimate, not a benchmark, and it says nothing about ray tracing or upscaling, where a newer card of the same tier pulls well ahead.
- A requirement line says 'GTX 1060 or RX 580'. Which one counts?
- The weaker of the two. When a publisher offers alternatives, meeting either one clears the bar, so the tool takes the lowest tier named as the requirement.
- Why does a component say 'unknown'?
- Because that requirement line could not be matched to a known part, or you have not chosen yours yet. Unknown components are left out of the overall verdict rather than counted as a pass.
