[ut3] What graphics card will be fast enough for playing ut3 in linux in 1920x1200?

[Ken Shelton]

I can play full graphics 1680x1050 with a 8600 GTS 512MB and AMD x2 6000
(3.0 GHz Cores)  w/ 4GB DDR2-800 RAM

Nah, my 7900GTO doesn't play it very well with most options on medium at 
1650x1080. Though it could be CPU bottleneck (socket 939 4200+ X2 at 
2.4GHz per core, 2GB PC3200 RAM)
