The site is very easy to use and get a general idea of what your computer can handle, it's kinda annoying having to download their program every time you want to check after a few weeks and it also gets a false positive on every anti-malware program I use, but it must be something about how it uses cookies to store hardware data that makes those programs a little freaky.

As for the accuracy of their tests, I'm pretty sure they just use official requirements data that developers publish rather than their own tests or an aggregation of other actual user tests, so a little inaccuracy is inevitable, most developers (especially today) extrapolate their requirements a bit so as not to get problems (and waste support time) with most consumers on the low end, Also, this site ranks your GPU and CPU in a "release timeline" rather than their actual specs, so even if your GPU and CPU has the exact same required specs, the test will say your hardware doesn't pass because it's a little older than their benchmark.

This site is not at all accurate and should not be taken seriously. Every game I put it, it said my computer could not run whereas I have been playing those games for years without a problem and all newer games I have don't have a problem either. I would avoid this site like the plague.

Its a great way to see if the game your going to buy can run on your pc, but it is not always right. Best way to check is by doing it yourself. Just tells you if the req. are met.

Not completely accurate. It says I can't run Civilization V yet I am running it. When it comes up and says "fail" it has always been Video card. Yet when it gives a synopsis of what is required like Shader version, on board dedicated memory, speed, my card always exceeds the minimum requirements may times by double.

I don't trust this site to tell the truth and there is no way I have found to contact them.
