Apex Legends can run on a PC that meets the official minimum, but meeting that tier does not guarantee your preferred resolution, settings or frame rate. Competitive frame-rate targets make CPU consistency and 1% lows important, while resolution and visual quality increase GPU load. Compare the official tiers first, then model and test your exact build.
Open compatibility guideCounter-Strike 2 can run on a PC that meets the official minimum, but meeting that tier does not guarantee your preferred resolution, settings or frame rate. High-refresh competitive play can expose CPU and memory limits well before a basic launch check does. Compare the official tiers first, then model and test your exact build.
Open compatibility guideCyberpunk 2077 is demanding on both CPU and GPU. For the current Update 2.0 requirements, 12 GB RAM and an SSD are the minimum starting point. Ray tracing, crowd density and resolution can change the limiting component, so compare the official tier first and then model your exact build.
Open compatibility guideElden Ring can run on a PC that meets the official minimum, but meeting that tier does not guarantee your preferred resolution, settings or frame rate. Its 60 FPS cap changes how results should be read: stable frame pacing matters more than chasing an uncapped average. Compare the official tiers first, then model and test your exact build.
Open compatibility guideFortnite can run on a PC that meets the official minimum, but meeting that tier does not guarantee your preferred resolution, settings or frame rate. Performance Mode, DirectX 11/12, Nanite, Lumen and view distance can produce very different hardware loads on the same PC. Compare the official tiers first, then model and test your exact build.
Open compatibility guideForza Horizon 5 can run on a PC that meets the official minimum, but meeting that tier does not guarantee your preferred resolution, settings or frame rate. Its open world can shift load between the processor and graphics card, while resolution, anti-aliasing and environmental detail raise GPU demand. Compare the official tiers first, then model and test your exact build.

A PC can launch a game and still miss the experience you expect. Use these four checks before calling a build suitable.
| Check | What it answers | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Official minimum requirements | Can the current game version start from a supported hardware baseline? | Treat this as the floor, not a promise of smooth frame times. |
| Recommended requirements | Which hardware tier targets a better publisher-defined preset or FPS? | Match the exact preset, resolution and ray-tracing notes. |
| Modelled FPS range | Where might your exact CPU and GPU land under stated assumptions? | Compare the low and 1% low—not only the average. |
| Repeatable local test | How does your real PC behave in the same scene after patches and drivers? | Measure frame time, utilisation, temperatures and memory pressure. |
Open the game guide and compare your hardware with the official minimum and recommended requirements.
Use the preselected FPS calculator for a resolution- and settings-specific planning range.
Verify the estimate with the latest driver, current game patch and a repeatable in-game benchmark.
Use the reverse game finder to see which titles may suit one CPU, GPU and RAM combination.
No. Minimum requirements describe a supported starting point. Patches, drivers, laptop power limits, background software and the chosen settings can change real performance.
No. This directory starts with a particular game. The reverse finder starts with your hardware and compares it across many games.
No. PCBuildCheck figures are modelled planning ranges. Official requirements are labelled separately and link to their source.
