Can I Run It? - System Compatibility Calculator

How to calculate Can I Run it ??

The calculator compares each of your system components to a game's minimum requirements and assigns a compatibility score for CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage.

Key formula: overall_compatibility = min(cpu_compatibility, gpu_compatibility, ram_compatibility, storage_compatibility)

Using the Can I Run it ? calculator: an example

Below are example system and game minimum values used to illustrate the calculation.

Step-by-step calculation:

• CPU: Your Intel Core i7-10700K vs minimum Intel Core i5-6600K → cpu_compatibility = 100%
• GPU: Your NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 vs minimum GTX 1060 → gpu_compatibility = 95%
• RAM & storage: 16 GB RAM vs min 8 GB and 500 GB available vs min 75 GB → ram_compatibility = 100%, storage_compatibility = 100%
• Overall compatibility: apply the formula → overall_compatibility = min(100, 95, 100, 100) = 95% (game is compatible, GPU is the limiting factor).

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a compatibility percentage represent?

The percentage reflects how well your weakest required component meets the game's minimums; higher is better and 100% means the component fully meets or exceeds the minimum.

If one component is weaker, can I still run the game?

Yes, but the weakest component defines expected compatibility; you may run the game at lower settings or experience reduced performance until that component is upgraded.

Does this calculator predict frame rate?

No. This tool checks minimum compatibility only. For frame rate estimates, use a performance benchmark tool or a dedicated FPS estimator that factors resolution and graphics settings.
