Liability. To the customer:
Steam would have to offer much more loosened refund options if they overestimated the capabilities of your system setup, be it drivers, interfering software or just misjudged hardware.

Liability. To the publisher:
Steam would be liable for missed sales if they underestimated the capabilities of your system setup, be it outdated hardware lists, misjudging benchmark results or due to interfering software.

The system requirement info fields are form free text fields instead of static fields in which to add or select hardware components from.
Valve would have to have a perfectly written and ranked database in which components are compared and benchmarked, something no vendor, not even specialized sites that benchmark hardware, can provide accurately due to exotic outliers.

No, Valve wouldn't do that.

Low-end HW category

This probably has been suggested before but a category or any other way to search for games that run or have low - end requirements would be dandy.

I have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ laptop that I like to take with me to class and it's not meant for gaming, but on recess I like to use it and I seldom find any games to play on it, mostly because it's hard to find something that runs on it.

There are a few Curators that can help...

Thanks! This is helpful

The problem is.. Define low-end

Will it run on my TI-83+?

After all, it does run DOOM.

Integrated graphics from 2014 for example. It's not impossible to set a baseline

Most of these games should work fine even on low-spec hardware. Enjoy!

And you do realize that in 2015 that likely wouldn't have been considered low-end right?

Do ye see the problem. Low-end is a moving goal post

No, I see that you're just trying to be critical without attempting to be constructive.. You can easily find what was considered low or high end in 2015, or any other year for that matter.

Sorry but I'm not discussing further with you, because it's just not useful for this thread.

"Ackshually because defining X is inexact, X does not exist." Reddit is a state of mind.

Even if Steam did this, they won't but if they did

Minimum requirements could =
720p low settings 30 fps with dips
720p low settings 30 fps
720p low settings 60 fps with dips
720p low settings 60 fps
720p med settings 30 fps with dips
720p med settings 30 fps
720p med settings 60 fps with dips
720p med settings 60 fps
720p high settings 30 fps with dips
720p high settings 30 fps
720p high settings 60 fps with dips
720p high settings 60 fps
1080p low settings 30 fps with dips
1080p low settings 30 fps
1080p low settings 60 fps with dips
1080p low settings 60 fps
1080p med settings 30 fps with dips
1080p med settings 30 fps
1080p med settings 60 fps with dips
1080p med settings 60 fps

Or any combination not mentioned above. If The requirements don't mean a specific quality//performance what chance would Steem have at being even remotely accurate? Not too mention patches can affect requirements and Game devs/pubs don't adjust requirements listed to match

Just use basic comparison sites till you LEARN you hardware. Had these 2 for my nephew. Have your hardware to one side and the games requirement to the other. Stick to comparing Nvidia GPU to Nvidia GPU, AMD GPU to AMD GPU, Intel CPU to Intel CPU, AMD CPU to AMD CPU. that way you shouldn't get any cross brand biases

Yes and if you do that you'll notice that one year's high end or mid range is another year's low end.

So you'd basically need people to be constantly evaluating whether or not their system is now high, mid, or low. And if they're doing that then this suggestion becomes redundant since they'd just as easily be able to tell based on the game's posted specs as is
