FPSLabs Home: Unreal Tournament 3 minimum specs aim high

Got a beefy video card? Good. Wait..you don't? Expect a slide show then.
Via The Inq: "The good news for gamers: the minimum specs aren't too bad, with a Radeon 9600 card and 512MB of system RAM as a minimum. The bad news: expect the game to run like treacle at 800x600 without something closer to the recommended spec, which lists a 2.4GHz dual core processor and GeForce 7800 GTX card as A Good Idea.

Of course, hardware enthusiasts have been crying out for a game that will utilise the power of the expensive cards they've bought, so the big spec list is a good thing. They will be happy to know, then, that despite the fact the PS3 version has been delayed until 2008, the PC version is still on track to ship in November. Still no word on exactly what kind of PhysX integration is going to be included, but we will perhaps find out for ourselves come the twilight of the year.

Finally, Epic has confirmed that, unlike Crysis, DX9 and DX10 gamers will be able to play together. This has delighted those in the have-not category of PC enthusiasts, who may have felt a little segregated after the recent news that DX10 gamers will get their own 'special' Crysis servers. Since UT3 uses DX10 more for aesthetic than functional purposes, gamers win out this time around"
