The 7800GTX will play UT3 pretty much running at full bore with all the 
options turned up.  So any of the 8800's should do just fine as well 
(maybe even the 8600's but I don't generally bother with the x4xx and x6xx 
series cards).  You can generally get them cheap on eBay too.  However if 
you got the cash I'd go for a 8800GT or GTS.  I just bought a 640mb GTS 
and waiting for it toarrive on Monday.  Should be fun. :)

The downside to the 7800gtx is that other games like Crisys barely runs on 
it.  It's playable but you gotta turn just about everything off. :(
