There are a lot of different flavors of 7900GS cards out there which will result in very different performances. That said, below is an Anandtech review of the performance with stuff cranked up. The basic answer is: a 7900GS will run the game on max settings, but you'll dip below 30FPS.

Pretty nice set up. In particular the graphics card will let you run games very well.
