Page 8 - Unreal Tournament 3
Unreal Tournament 3! The third part of the very popular and highly valued Unreal Tournament series games. Based on the Unreal 3.0 engine the game supports hardware Physics Processing. A single word can describe the engine - beautiful. We must say that a bit of fun in front of the computer equals to a Unreal Tournament network game with friends. It must be noted that this was the only game in our tests that could be played freely at maximum settings at 1680x1050, even with Antialiasing on (well not with the Radeons, but more for that on the page below)
The Unreal 3.0 engine is the base on more then one game - you've must had taste of its capabilities in Bioshock and Gears of War, two of the most expected games along with Unreal Tournament 3.
The reason not to test with Antialiasing on is that the AMD cards had problems with it. Despite manually setting Antialiasing to MSAA 4x or other value from the Catalyst Panel, the difference in picture or framerate was nonexistent.

Despite that the two cores of Sapphire HD 3870 X2 managed to equal or even surpass 8800 Ultra, Unreal Tournament 3 is one of the games in that class that can be played at high resolutions with all the effects and even Antialiasing - a pity that Antialiasing doesn't work though.
