No. These are actual issues that have to addressed if the game is to have a fan-base larger than just the people who have the "proper" hardware.
Nobody likes to play when somebody has an imba advantage.

The UE3 doesn't require very powerful hardware. If you can't run it with 60+ FPS, your PC is shameful.

If my heart ever heals, I will make sure it'll never break again.

Of course I can run it like that. With a tweaked config, with one model for all players, with 4x4 pixel textures over everything and without any post processing.
BUT! Will my configs work with PS? I doubt it.

I don't have a very good PC, neither is my laptop. I can assure you I'll do anything in my power to make it run properly on low-end machines, otherwise I can't play it properly myself.

If anything is going to be a drain on your FPS, it will be the dynamic lighting and shadowing. That is the largest determinant over any other effect and will have to be enabled for everyone due to gameplay reasons.

Luckily, FPS does increase well with lower resolutions. So if your computer does suck, you can drop to a lower resolution for a considerable FPS gain.

Nice. Well, I'm not planning to upgrade soon, at least not in the next 2 years.
Just fyi, my specs:
Pentium DualCore e2160 O/C to 2.35 GHz
1GB DDR2 RAM
GF 7900gs 256MB

And that's pretty much it, everything else is onboard, so it sucks.
But oh well, it does it's job.

Yeah, was wondering if I'm gonna have trouble running it on my laptop,

AMD Turion X2 RM-75 Dual-Core Mobile Processor
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
4 GB DDR2 RAM

When I ran the current PS build it ran great. Runs the UDK UT3 (deck, ect) maps with like 10-15 FPS. I can run Crysis on lowish settings with ~30 FPS. Haven't tried running UT3 yet. Think I'll be able to run it? I'm thinking yes?

Gawain

you need at least 60fps all game through to play smoothly...
it amazes me that some of the devs here (like you and lenni) consider 30 fps as sufficient oO

Really you want to play at the FPS the Unreal 3 Engine best performs at; I'm not sure what it is, but I run CSS at 101fps constant because that's the best FPS for the source engine :P

30 frames is fine to me as long as it never drops below that.

I don't mean an average of 30 I mean a minimum.

Uhh...? I never said 30 was good.

Ever saw movies at 120FPS? It's simply a case of being spoiled with high framerates you can't stand any lower, whereas 24-30FPS is perfectly acceptable for most users who don't have a octocore PC with the latest Nvidia graphics card. Anything lower than that will appear sluggish.
