Hi,

I bought a Cyberpower gaming PC (GUA2600BST) a week ago. It's a AMD Ryzen 5 1400, 8gb ram, Radeon RX580 4gb gfx card.

Then I learned from a friend about this website "Can you run it?", and after running it to find out if I can run Doom, it said it failed on max requirements and minimum. I ran the same for Skyrim, and I was shocked it said I failed max, but also minimum! Really? A game that came out in 2012??

Can someone tell me why?

Thank you

Don't believe the results you got from that site. Something is wrong with either it, or the data you plugged into it. Your rig will destroy those games if you are gaming at 1080p. Doom should run at over 100 fps.

Okay guys. Thanks for all your help with this. I'm currently using Game Debate site now.

Question: Would you guys recommend me upgrading from a Ryzen 5 1400 to a Ryzen 5 1600x? Because the site is showing that my CPU barely gets by the Recommended line and ideally I would like to run Doom 4 at Ultra settings. Any thoughts on this?

For the last time, you can run Doom now at Ultra. Try it and see for yourself.

But I DID try to run Doom in Ultra. Funny, it wouldn't accept my settings. Soo yeah...

Obviously you're doing something wrong. What settings were you trying to set? Are you saying that the Doom setup options would not accept Ultra? Never heard of anything like that.

You have the monitor plugged into the gfx card and not the integrated port, right? Better check.

Like I said before, I was setting the graphics options to Ultra, then when I come back to the graphics settings, I find that the graphics options are now set to Custom and much lower options chosen for me. Yet the confusion is, as previous posters have already replied, this system should be able to run Doom in Ultra. That's the whole issue.
