Unreal Tournament 3 System Requirements

Wednesday 03rd October 2007, 08:08:00 PM, written by Richard Connery

Epic has announced the minimum and recommended system requirements for the PC version of Unreal Tournament 3. From the early days when Epic first showed the Unreal Engine 3 Tim Sweeney had always maintained that the game would run on SM 2.0 cards. We've come a long way but this has remained true.

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


Unreal Tournament 3 is on track to be released this November. The PS3 version is less certain, while Epic hopes to have that version out by the year's end they've cautioned that it may slip into early 2008. There is a Xbox 360 version announced but it will arrive later than the PS3 version.

Yeah I thought it would, its just that your last quote made it sound like you need a console to play it so I wondered if it had been left out of the PC version. Nevermind, must have just misunderstood.
I think the original question was more about the number of bots rather than the gametype.

Why isn't the NVIDIA 6800GT used as recommended specs since the X1300 is used? I mean, the GT is much faster than the X1300.

ATI’s X1300 chip falls roughly into the same ring as Nvidia’s 6600 and 6600GT
I mean the X1300 is even slower than the X800XL.http://www.bonafidereviews.com/articles/122/images/Far-Cry.gifHaving it as recommended specs makes this look real bad imo.I mean is they said Recommended Spec is 1300XT I could understand .. but just X1300. Bleh!Hell .. I mean the recommended Spec for Nvidia in that case should be 6600GT.US

I think you're getting a little too worked up over what is likely a typo. ;)

Well the typo still hasn't been fixed then. ;)

I meant that it was likely a typo from the source. B3D is quoting exactly what I've seen posted on a number of sites.

Minimal specs might be saying that 6200 is the lowest GF with acceptable SM2.0 performance.Recommended specs might come from dynamic branching performance.

If it was X1600 maybe I could buy that.

The X1800 would be closer to the 7800GTX.

It can't be SM3.0 support either, since the GeForce 6 introduced that for nvidia.

I'd guess that the game doesn't support SM2-only cards. But, as for their wildly off course comparison there, forgetting that 6600GT is probably faster than X1300, who knows. Heh.
