Widescreen Video Card Help

My brother just gave me one of his SGI 1600sw monitors. It's native resolution is 1600x1024, but I am having trouble finding a video card that will support it. I have the MultiLink adapter to use regular VGA and my video card is a ATI 7000. I went to Hercules site and several other video card manufactures, but it is not easy to find the supported resolutions. Does anyone have an idea off hand for a card to display 1600x1024?
 
From the SGI FAQ:

Will the 1600SW run on my [fill in your favorite video card]?

The new MultiLink Adapter accepts any VGA analog, DVI, or DFP signaling, enabling compatibility with virtually any video card. The MultiLink Adapter supports standard VESA modes at 60 Hz in addition to the SuperWide modes. For the best possible picture quality, SGI recommends that you pair the MultiLink adapter with a "SuperWide savvy" graphics card.
