game vs video card help

dose anyone know of a site that can tell if a game will work with my video card etc. tired of buying games that I cant use.

Usually there are specs listed on the site for the game giving you recommended hardware. What card and game do you have?

The minimum and recomended requirements are a good start, but the best possible route I can think is to just try the game. Look for a demo and install it, try the game and see how well does it run, and most important if you really like the game .

If you have doubts on your computer capabilities, I wouldn't buy anything before trying. Even if you bought something you can't run, you can still keep the game and enjoy it at a later time, when you happen to upgrade your hardware, the game installer will be still there waiting for you.

I'm just curious, what video card do you have, Vett?

Nvidia 9400gt

I think the link above is the same as this one but just in case it isn't... but Vette, I am hoping you are looking to play online game mostly as your system and video card a bit dated. I mean, mine is also dated but not as dated as yours... not trying to snob you or anything, on the contrary, is like the opposite.

Can You RUN It | Can I Run It | Can My PC Run It

What to look for in a card. Like a game might recommend a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (2GB but what if I want something from a different manufacturer how do I know if it's better or worse ?
