Doom 3
trust me. I tried running the alpha on my GeForce4 Ti 4600 with "only" 128MB Ram, and it practically fills it up. Framerates maxed out at 20fps. I know it's a demo, but when the full stuff comes out (christmas supposedly) I bet you'll need at least GF4 or radeon 9000.
And ID Soft (makers of doom, quake, & wolf3D) are notoriuous for licencing their engine to game developers that wring even more textures into it (For instance "Alice" is writetn in the Quake3 engine, but takes the texturing to a whole new level. I can't wait to see what those guys can do with the Doom3 engine)
