Free computer analysis website with a database of over 15,000 games and programs to determine if your hardware meets system requirements for video games and software
Can You Run It? (also known as CYRI) is a handy website that determines if your computer's hardware meets the minimum system requirements to run games and software. It was created by Cyril Computing, a company focused on providing free system requirements analysis tools.
Here's how it works: You go to the Can You Run It? website, select the game or software application you're interested in from their database of over 15,000 titles, and click the "Can You Run This Game?" button. CYRI then uses a system information tool to scan your computer's components like CPU, GPU, RAM, and operating system.
It compares your computer's specs against the minimum and recommended specifications listed by the game publisher. Within seconds you get a result stating whether you pass or fail to meet them. If some components pass while others fail, CYRI provides the details so you can figure out potential upgrades.
The benefit of using Can You Run It? is avoiding the frustration of purchasing games your PC hardware can't handle properly. It also helps ensure any computer upgrades or new builds will meet the performance needs before you buy. With its simplicity to use and frequently updated title database, CYRI aims to save users time and money.
