Despite inconviniences typical of a beta, this Unreal Tournament III demo must be enough, for the time being, to get an idea of the requirements of this game.

An important point to remember is that, although the final version will be more "polished", the frames per second we see in this Anandtech article are probably higher, because it's not testing with high quality textures and the scenarios are devoid of characters.

Among the most relevant conclusions we can come to, let's say that cache size brings up to a  20% performance increase for the Core 2. Another element to take into consideration is the number of cores the processor has, which can translate into a 60% gain (when going dual) and a 13% one (when going Quad). On the other hand, raising the frecuency  of a Core 2 Duo from 2 GHz to 3,33 GHz only gets us a 28% boost.

And what of the graphics cards? nVidia wins, although AMD keeps pace at the same price range (Radeon HD 2900 XT and X1950 XTX vs NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra, 8800 GTX, 8800 GTS 320MB and 7900 GTX).
