to say any 2 games will play similarly is to say two different languages are the same. due to optimisation (and many other things), two identically looking games could differ entirely performance-wise. this is this best way to find out if you can run it...
edit: to further clarify what they they are talking about with "type", you can just type it into you web-browser address on the machine you wish to know.
the game is 8870

Firstly, that thing doesn't work. Steam says that I meet minimum requirements, when by all the tree loving nature of ice creams, it doesn't. So...
Also, you do have a good point about similar games being dissimilar. But one thing you can do is make comparisons. For example, Witcher 2 plays worse on my lappy than say, Alan Wake, because of FPS and maybe GPU/CPU usage. (Haven't bothered to go that far though.) Similarly Crysis 2 plays similar or slightly better than Witcher 2, but not as good as Alan Wake, etc.
Basically, I'd be happy to see someone make a similarly vague comparison between L.A. Noire, Tomb Raider, and Bioshock Infinite.

minimum means that the game works and will boot up with a minimum of 22fps at lowest possible settings. by no means does it say most people would be happy playing it on a minimum requirements machine.
but beyond that, its up to you whether you wanna make comparisons, but as a rule of thumb, naming a comparison between witcher 2 and alan wake (which use different engines, render distances, graphical fidelity, load zones) probably isnt the best of an idea. its like asking if you can play Battlefield 4 since you can play Mass Effect 3.

I've used this several times when trying to figure out what friends I can give extra games to. Been around for a long time.

I'm pretty sure Infinite has a benchmark in it. I'll see if it is available standalone.
Update:
Sorry, guess it is in game only. (?) That sucks, because then you'd be able to just fire that up and get a quick answer. Good luck.

Well, as above. Holiday sale is coming near, and Infinite is on top of the wishlist. Only problem is, I'm on a slow laptop, so I want to know if it might run by playing some other games. Looking for advice!
Spec (Only the important bit. RAM and HD is fine I think):
AMD APU E-450 Dual Core @ 1.65GHz
Radeon HD 6320 Integrated with the APU above
Games I know plays well:
Alan Wake - At a slightly lower resolution than normal (800x600), and with blur manually disabled.
Crysis 2 - At lowest resolution + manually disabled DOF.
Of these two games, I want to know which one is closer to Infinite performance-wise, regarding CPU and GPU intensiveness. On a capped data, so can't exactly download willy-nilly.
L.A. Noire - Has closer CPU requirement.
Tomb Raider - Released barely a month apart. But seems to have lower requirements.
So main question: How do the games above compare to, and which game plays similar to Bioshock Infinite? I'm banking on Noire, but I'm just not quite sure. Would rather get advice from someone who has all three games.
Thanks!
