    That website has been around for awhile. It's not all that accurate, but it gives a general idea of what your computer can or can't run.
    There's another similar website out there, I forget what it's called but some people claimed it was more accurate.

    ^ Same, its not quite accurate, its much better to read the system requirements yourself.

    There's also the Game adviser on the Games for Windows website.

    Someone recommended yougamers as a systems req website a while ago. It is slightly more detailed as the website recommends hardware settings that will better fit the game but its library of games is less numerous than system requirements.

    SRLabs is ONLY useful insofar as it will give you very detailed requirements for a certain game (shader model, CPU cores supported, free disk space required, etc.) It is still up to the user to be intelligent about comparing those requirements and recommendations with their own system, as there is no program or site that can make such a comparison accurately.
