unreal has allways placed kind of excessive hardware specific demands on
systems... the first unreal game was what motivated me to replace my ati
mach64/matrox-m3d combo with a 3dfx voodo2. even today if you want play
the game you get to pay the piper... one would think that given the
advances in graphics hardware that we could design game engines that could
be coaxed into supporting a relativy broad range of modern
hardware/accelerator implementations well... but you still find the major
game franchise vendors telling you which new wazzu piece of hardware
you're going to need to enjoy it.
