It's funny how all of these questions are coming 2 days before the release.
That tool is fine and all, but I don't think it's specific enough with the GPU. Even though I apparently have all the features to pass as recommended for crysis, my 5450 isn't really crysis material despite it being DX10.1 and all. It can be hard to judge truly where your GPU lies on the chart.
There's this:

Which isn't very accurate, but you're probably safe to play SC2 if you score above 200 G3D.
There's also notebook check which is a bit more accurate, but only for notebooks.

Still, that "Can you run it?" tool is pretty good for someone who has no idea what any of that means, or even check their GPU.Last edited by Crazy_Jonny; 07-24-2010 at 12:44 PM.

Re: Can You Run It? (spec help)
Thanks Pandonetho
I've been looking for such a list a long time. Now everything makes more sence, my former graphic card was under recommended, but with the info I gathered it was above (now I know it was indeed wrong) Because I was wondering why I could only play on low/medium with the graphic settings.
I can't wait to try starcraft 2 now after I uppgraded the graphic card alot! (but I guess the other things doesn't matchup, but they should do fine)

Re: Can You Run It? (spec help)
Yay I barley meet the minimum requirements, even after upgrading my video card. The processor is holding me down from getting a descent, reccomended, experience.
Price check on a 2.6 GHZ Dual Core or better processor please?Last edited by Dean63; 07-24-2010 at 02:10 PM. Reason: Specified "descent, reccomended, experience" to end of first line second sentence.
