Firstly, i dont want to know if you HAVEN'T got Blacksite running.

Minimum requirements state on the box, 3.0ghz Intel or AMD equivalent (Single Core).

I'm running AMD Athlon 64 FX 55 - and have no problems running other Unreal engine 3.0 games, such as Crysis, Unreal Tourney 3, Witcher, Bioshock, etc.

So my question is to those who HAVE got it running:

What's your CPU (Processor) speed please?

Crysis is not powered by UE3, Crysis uses the CryEngine 2 developed by Crytek.

The Witcher uses the Aurora Engine developed by BioWare.

Games that use the UE3 that have been released are Medal of Honor: Airborne, BioShock, Gears of War, UT3, Stranglehold and Blacksite.

And to answer your question, your CPU should do fine. Considering how the rest of your rig is... of course.

A single core CPU can not be compared to a dual core very well. I'm running a AMD x2 4600+ (each core clocks at 2.6GHZ) and the game runs as good as it can (since it's unfinished, unoptimized and buggy).

ok, i didn't actually check which games run the UE3. but those games i mentioned do run fine. (I also have MOH:A and Stranglehold and they're great wink ) - thank for the input, Darkness happy
