| Jan 3, 2015 at 2:20 | comment | added | LessPop_MoreFizz | I don't believe it's half as clear cut as you seem to, and the distinction between your original comment and my correction is the crux of why. | |
| Jan 3, 2015 at 2:19 | comment | added | aytimothy | @LessPop_MoreFizz, I realised. The point is: It's not off-topic. | |
| Jan 2, 2015 at 18:23 | comment | added | LessPop_MoreFizz | @aytimothy Except that he isn't asking for that at all. He's asking for a tool that compiles that information from across his library of games and spits out some sort of meta-requirement. Which is a very different sort of question. | |

| Jan 2, 2015 at 7:00 | comment | added | aytimothy | I don't think he was asking for hardware recommendations. He's asking for where the recommended specs are; which amazingly are at the bottom of the store page. (Above the reviews) | |
| Jan 1, 2015 at 19:37 | comment | added | badp | @MatthewGreen then (regardless of whether or not this question is on-topic) I'm afraid you're going to need your favourite language's equivalent of Mechanizer and Beautiful Soup :) | |
| Jan 1, 2015 at 19:28 | comment | added | Matthew Green | @badp The requirements I'm looking for is whatever the game manufacturer has set for their game. I know they can differ a lot depending on preferences but that's something I can determine for myself after locating all of the my games requirements. So this question is really aimed at that last part, finding a summary or collection of game requirements for all owned steam games. | |
| Jan 1, 2015 at 19:16 | comment | added | badp | Define "requirements." Depending on your target resolution, framerate and framerate/quality tradeoffs you're willing to take the answer for the same one game can vary from a 770 (or less) to SLI'd 980s, for example. | |

| Dec 25, 2014 at 19:48 | comment | added | Matthew Green | @Schwern Yikes. So my case might be a little on the lazy side then. I had the exact same thought. I might have found a new project to work on. | |
| Dec 25, 2014 at 19:17 | comment | added | Schwern | I have nearly 500. :) This might be presented as an interesting programming problem on another exchange. Get a list of your games, scrape the requirements from steampowered.com and assemble them together into a summary. The first two is straightforward. The last is complicated. How do you compare Graphics: Shader 3.0 / Open GL 3.2+ with Graphics: 256 MB? | |
| Dec 25, 2014 at 16:51 | comment | added | Matthew Green | @TZHX or the other voters, care to explain why this is off-topic? I'm not asking for hardware recommendations but rather a way to view a summary of steam game hardware recommendations. | |
| Dec 25, 2014 at 16:48 | comment | added | Matthew Green | @Schwern Its currently only 35 but the winter sale isn't over yet... So not huge but enough that it would nice if there was a way to get a snapshot of requirements rather than manually going through myself. | |

| Dec 24, 2014 at 21:44 | comment | added | Matthew Green | No problem. I realized after your comment that it probably wasn't very clear. | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 21:05 | comment | added | user86571 | Ah, sorry, I thought you were upgrading a laptop. Since you're replacing your desktop you'll also need to ensure your CPU is as fast. | |

| Dec 24, 2014 at 20:24 | comment | added | Matthew Green | I don't currently own a laptop so that doesn't help me much. And my desktop, even though its old, probably isn't a great benchmark either. Hence the question. | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 20:20 | comment | added | user86571 | Unless you're replacing a high-end laptop with a cheap low-end one, the only thing you really have to ensure is that your new laptop has as good or better graphics than your old. If so then your new laptop should run every game you old one could. | |
