PC game requirements, explained

Minimum vs recommended

Minimum requirements get a game running, usually at low settings and around 30 FPS at 1080p. Recommended requirements are what the developer suggests for a smooth game at high settings. If your PC sits between the two, lower a few settings and it will usually play fine.

The graphics card matters most

For most games the graphics card decides your frame rate. Each game page lists the official cards, the current cards that match them from NVIDIA and AMD, and our FPS estimates at 1080p, 1440p and 4K.

Upgrading for a new game?

Check the upgrade advisor to see which part to change first, or plan a whole new PC with the PC builder. Our budget builds show what each budget plays.

Questions

How do I know if my PC can run a game?

Compare your processor, graphics card and RAM with the game's minimum and recommended requirements. Open the game here to see them side by side, or pick your parts once in Can I run it? and see every game you can play.

What is the difference between minimum and recommended requirements?

Minimum is what the game needs to start and be playable, usually at low settings and 30 FPS at 1080p. Recommended is what the developer suggests for a good experience, usually high settings at 60 FPS.

Which graphics card do I need for most new games?

For 1080p at high settings, a current mid-range card with 8 GB of video memory runs most games; 12 GB or more is safer for new releases and 1440p. Each game page lists the cards that meet its requirements.

Where can I buy PC games?

Every paid game here has a Buy now button that opens Amazon for your country, where you can buy a digital key or a disc at today's price. Free-to-play games link to their Steam page.
