What's that website that tells you if your PC will run certain games?

Topic? I cannot for the life of me remember the URL, and its not turning up with any of my apparently misguided search terms. If anyone knows what website I'm talking about, please help me out.Thanks in advance.EDIT: I just realised that this thread might have been more appropriate in the PC Hardware Discussion board. Oh well, if this gets closed then I'll know what to do.What's that website that tells you if your PC will run certain games?

There are three places that offer a chance to actually TEST and determine what hardware you have. SR Test is the worst of them, with serious inaccuracies, often as high as 20 % of the ''Pass'' results they advise. What they find out about your system is useful to know, and you can print that out to take with you to a storefront outfit to compare to the games' warning labels. YouGamer is a retail outfit that also does testing, and although the results are still slightly biased toward selling games to folks with borderline hardware, they are a lot better than SR Tests. Microsoft has a game test function that is very accurate, but they only test for their own games, AFAIK. There is a Hungarian web site that collects game requirements lists, and you can find your way around it moderately well despite the language, if all you need is the lists of requirements. I don't have a URL for that one.

Ah, thank you all kindly! systemrequirementslab was the one I was looking for, but now I know I have other options as well. Thanks again!
Interresting.. Thanks for those links
All SRtest does is scan your system and match it with the min/req specs accoriding to the publisher. Really only useful for someone who isn't sure about their own computers performace, and even then, the site is a hit-and-miss.Yougamers.com is great, not only for their scans, but for their good reviews with general talk of a gameshardware requirements.
get a couple hundreds then buy a new gpu and processor.
Actually there is a sticky at the top of this forum with a place to ask these questions and info on running certain games.
