"Recommended System Reqs" are useless

[Rob Williams]

I was taking a look at at post at Kotaku and noticed that the recommended system requirements for UT III made no sense. Which part? Try and guess.

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

LoL, completely agree. They have to start making those requirements a bit more realistic.

I'm sure you don't need -that- much RAM.
256K oughta be fine.

Well, I was focusing more on the "NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATI x1300+ Video Card" than anything. Two completely different classes of cards.

I know nothing about ATI cards...
I'm an NVIDIA loyalist. *shrugs*

Yeah, I noticed. It's just ridiculous.

Well, it's comparable to saying that you need at least a Toyota Celica or Ferrari F430 to race at the Nurburgring.

Ahh. I was wondering what I was missing. Thanks!
