They're probably pretty close since they're on the same engine, but my guess would be UTIII.

Well I did hear that Gears of War seems to have a greater graphic detail than UT III, however, I was not sure.

Definitely GoW. It's the same dark all the time though.

I think Gears of Wars. It's not better graphics, but I think the camera views give better scenes and look more cinematic. In UT3, You are moving very fast in First Person View, so you don't notice as much of the eyecandy.

Considering they both came out the same time, the only logical explanation would be that they're both equal in terms of graphics.

Think about it. They were in development at about the same time, they came out about the same time on PC. Why would one game that uses the same engine be better looking than the other when they came out the same time?

Well in Gears there is the option of using DX10, but in UTIII you don't have that in the options menu so logicaly Gears has better graphics.

I disagree with that reasoning; there is something called artistical graphics as well. If you look at what Okami and Odin Sphere do with little processing power....simply wow.

well lets redefine it then, eliminae the artistic style (although even those are pretty similar) and just stick with technical aspects.

both use the UT3 engine, both were released around the same time, so which looks better based on textures, mipmaps, AA, details, colors, pie flavor, and stuff like that.

as much as i love UT, i have to give the edge to GoW in this case. seems a lot more refined.
