Unreal Tournament 3 system requirements revealed
Category: PC, Posted: 10/03/2007 at 01:46PM EDT by Brendon Lindsey, GN Director
I know, all of you PS3 owners are sad about Unreal Tournament 3 being pushed back until 2008. If you're like me, you don't have a very good gaming PC, and you were looking forward to messing around on the PS3 version.
Oh well. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. In the meantime, PC gamers will still get to experience UT3 this November. Today Midway released the official system requirements for the game, and I have to say, I'm pretty happy. I may end up getting to play this on the PC after all.

2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor
512 Mbytes of System RAM
NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card

Awesome to see new games that still scale pretty well. I've also heard that UT3 will include the Linux client for the game in the retail box! An epic win for Linux gamers everywhere!
just need to upgrade my card to 6200 then I ready to play on min settings!
Whoo! Low requirements means I can play this on medium-medium high settings!
Thats actually impressively low. I could almost run it. Or I could steal my brothers laptop.
Wow, I can actually play it. It'd be on low settings, but it would run, which is awesome.
lol yet again may i make further statment on ps3 and all those kids who bought ps3 right when it came out for thousands on ebay * points laughs* dosen't it seem like your getting the short end of the stick all the time lol
In my experience, "Recommended" requirements should more closely read "Minimum" requirements if you want any kind of enjoyment from a game...
Enemy Territory says min. is a P4 2.8 GHz, 512 ram, & an ati 9700. I have a core 2 duo E6400, 7950gt & 1 gig and It looks like a ps1 game. Good luck trying to play this with a video card that is over a year old. Get a new 2 core Pentium, better for gaming higher clock that 4 cores & at least an 8800 card to play this.
If UT3 is as optimised as BioShock then I will be a very happy man!
Well there must be a mistake in these specs...
A GeForce 7800GTX is far FAR more powerful than an ATI Radeon X1300...x1300's are rubbish and I know because I have tested both cards! (I work in a computer shop)
As for the Minimum specs, they are clearly just trying to out-do Crysis since it is the only other BIG PC game and the main problem with it is the machine needed to play it when it actually looks like the videos. People seem to forget that when it seys minimum it means - 640x480, NO AA or AF, all settings at LOW or OFF. Recommended means - 800x600/1024x768 NO AA or AF, all settings at medium.
Personally, I would have to say, Core 2 Duo E6300/6400, 2Gb DDR2-800, Geforce 8600GTS / 8800 GTS 320 for playing this game at higher settings, but even at that it still won't max out.
Crysis is still going to look better ^^ Come November - Let the war BEGIN!
My computer laughs in the face of these specs!
I love my new rig =]
Hmm... I should be able to play this.
SHOULD being the operative word here.
Well, I'm currently running the Beta Demo available from FilePlanet and various other sites; my system specs are as follows:
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (which caused a few problems but those have been fixed)CPU: AMD Atlhon 64 X2 4400+ Dual Core 2.2 GHzRAM: 2 GB Corsair CMXP1024-3200C2 PC3200 200MHz DDR SDRAMVIDEO: XFX nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS w/ 256 MB DDR3 VidRAM & 675 MHz Core ClockHDD: 250 GB w/ 80+ GB available (secondary HDD)
Now, I know that what I am runnig is only a beta/demo, however I am able to run it at what appears to be full settings @ a resolution of 1024x768. Now, I say "what appears to be" because the layout of the options menus aren't typical of most games; there aren't many options to change. Below is a listing of the current settings options (with the ones I'm using encased in [ ] brackets):
Post Processing: Muted Default Vivd [ Intense ]
Hardware Physics: Disabled [ Enabled ]
Texture Detail: 1 2 3 4 [ 5 ]
World Detail: 1 2 3 4 [ 5 ]
V-Sync (Vertical Sync): Disabled [ Enabled ]
Screen Percentage (% of screen to render in): 1% to [ 100% ]
Screen Mode: Windowed [ Fullscreen ]
Now, I don't know if the finished product is going to have more advanced settings options or not; these options seem fairly simplified, so there's really no way of knowing if I'm actually running the game at "full" settings or not; all I can say is I'm running the current beta/demo at the highest settings it has available, whatever that means.
mmm the graphic card demand is a bit high...
GUYS DO NOT BUY THIS GAME FROM A SHOP!!!
i dunno about world wide but price in Australia for unreal tournament 3 is $99 but u can buy the full version of this game on steam for only $30 all u have to do is register steam...
