Know your PC specs with 'dxdiag'

If you are an avid gamer running a slightly outdated PC, you might have felt a little bit lost when checking the specs of FIFA 15 or GTA V which you were going to purchase. After all, none of us wants to dish out the bucks to buy a game that was never going to work anyways. But how exactly do we know the specs of our PC? The sticker on the palm rest only says so much, and many go for third party softwares to get the job done, all the while the solution was already loaded in your rig.

To know all your specs, open run from the start menu.



Type in 'dxdiag' (Which stands for DirectX Diagnostics) and click OK.



Wait a few seconds a window will pop up, displaying all you need.



The system tab shows details of the manufacturer, processor, RAM, BIOS version and so on. The part which will interest gamers most is the display tab, which shows the DirectX versions installed, graphics card name, video memory and more. The sound tab and the input tab also comes with several bit of useful information.

That's it, game on!
