Will Your Rig Play UT3?
That is the question which many PC owners have been pondering over the last few months as we have been bombarded with gorgeous screenshots of Unreal Tournament 3. I was long ago resigned to the fact that my machine probably wouldn’t make the grade, imagine my surprise then, when Epic released the minimum and recommended specs for the Unreal Engine 3’s flagship title.
Minimum System Requirements
• Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista
• 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor
• 512 Mbytes of System RAM
• NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card
• 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space
Recommended System Requirements
• 2.4+ GHZ Dual Core Processor
• 1 GBytes of System RAM
• NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATI x1300+ Video Card
• 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space
Now I only just miss out on making the recommended specs by 0.2 GHZ of processor speed, having both 1GB of RAM and an ATI x1300 graphics card. Epic have always said that they were hoping to keep the required specs as low as reasonably possible and I have to take my hat off to them. What the game will look like on the minimum specs I wouldn’t like to speculate, and the kind of hardware set up needed to get the “HOLY SH*T” message on the graphics settings screen probably doesn’t exist yet. I can now stop worrying about how I’m going to get a full width graphics card into a half width case (for a while at least.) Now that the specs are out there we can be fairly confident that UT3 will be appearing on the PC in November as was predicted.
