Penumbra overture runs slow

[Urkle]

...
Because of that and the dynamic lighting/shadows a high end video card is required to do a higher resolution.
...

any ideas what would a high end card in this case be? i.e. well enough supported linux card that would run penumbra in 1280x1024 resolution, it's hard to figure out how well the given card runs under linux (each of them seems to have different gotchas not mentioned (or not explained well) in reviews)

As I mentioned, I'm running an Nvidia 6600 GTS 256MB card and able to run at 1024x768 without issues.. You should be able to get and 7000 or 8000 series Nvidia card and run at that high resolution given you CPU speed. Also Nvidia cards have much better driver support under linux than ATI.
