System Requirement Rating for games in Library

[mohitgarg_noida]

Can Steam client have a feature wherein in the library, a rating can be given according to the system requirements of the game and Host system, mentioning if the game will run, minimum requirements are met or recommended requirements are met.

I request this because I have a library and PC to run all the games I own, but sometimes on tours I have my laptop with me, and I wish to know which game will run on the laptop to pass time.

Ah, the weekly thread about this topic that won't happen as Valve will not be held liable for inaccurate results.

It is the users responsibility to check to see if their system meets the requirements.

The various canirunit websites and the Microsoft store's compatibility check show how inaccurate it all is. Minimum requirements aren't even standardised, some games have way too high ones while others are barely enough.

I played way too many games on my previous laptop, which was a potato, that according to canirunit websites should not have worked. It all is seriously inaccurate.

If you don't know your specs good enough, I suggest you use 3 canirunit websites and take the average result as a guideline. At best.

I would love such a feature if it was accurate. But as it is, I believe that no system is much better than a wildly inaccurate one.

I will ask the same question again. How does that work when you have system requirements like this?

System requirements are just text boxes the devs fill in.

Before a system like this could ever work the testing to determine minimum requirements would have be standardized and enforced across the gaming industry. Which will most likely never happen for a variety of reasons.

Or something like this:

Game dev said in the game hub that the minimum specs are the lowest computer they had, but that the game is playable on much less. It says it requires a GTX 960, I played it without issue on a GT 745M.

Better to let people do the judgement for their own computers...

This is a good suggestion, I'd like this to happen.
