Field of Vision Fix (FOV)
Unreal Tournament 3 supports an FOV view slider in the options menu, however the slider moves to a maximum of 100 which is roughly correct for 16:10 displays. As described in Widescreen Gaming Forum's article, a custom mutator, FreeFOV must be used to increase the FOV further for 16:9 displays.
Multimonitor Support
The game is compatible with AMD/ATI's Eyefinity solution and NVIDIA's Vision Surround solution although the HUD elements are enlarged and disproportional. Increasing the FOV can help with multimonitor displays but the weapon view models and HUD elements get in the way. Widescreen Gaming Forum's article also has an FOV fix for multimonitor displays as well as more information.
Anti-Aliasing
Unreal Tournament 3 does not natively support anti-aliasing and must be forced through AMD/ATI or NVIDIA driver settings.
Anisotropic Filtering
Unreal Tournament 3 does not have an anisotropic filtering option, it's changed through the "Texture Quality" option. Anisotropic filtering can be forced through AMD/ATI or NVIDIA driver settings.
