Unreal Tournament 3 Performance Revealed

Vigile writes "The Unreal Tournament 3 demo will be dropping sometime in the next two weeks. With a launch on the PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and even an in-box Linux client it will definitely be one of the most widely-played titles this holiday. With an early take on the UT3 demo's performance, PC Perspective has put up an article that compares cards from NVIDIA and AMD in both single and dual-GPU configurations to see which are the best performers. It turns out that even mid-range cards are going to be more than capable of playing UT3 at impressive image quality levels."

It makes sense.

The Linux client can be a fucking TARBALL and the Linux crowd would be happy. They don't have to package it at all, or even go to much effort to make sure it works well. Linux users (of which I am one, at least part-time) are prepared to jump through hoops to make this game work, and don't expect it be very polished.

On the Mac side, however, they'd have to actually test the thing and package it correctly and support it. A much more expensive/time-consuming proposition than simply dumping the Linux binaries on the CD and saying "Here it is, guys. You're on your own".

Look at it this way - the clever programmers at Epic managed to do for saturation what Doom 3 did for brightness.

That, and there are the linux nerds like me who will purchase one copy for every computer in the house, for when i host lan parties. Next month I will be spending about 500$ on linux games - and that is just quake wars and UT3.
