Is Alienware Mx17 R4 outdated for gaming?

Hi, I'm just trying to work out whether I need to sell/upgrade my laptop.

Haven't gamed in a while so tried running it through the website: can I run it.

Didn't meet the minimum for a lot of games which surprised me.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz

Video card: AMD Radeon HD 7970M

Memory: 6.2 GB

Sorry for vagueness I am uneducated in IT.

Thanks for your time,

Brad.
