Ok i just recently purchased a Radeon HD 4850 and was playing UT3 and only getting around 40-50fps on 800X600 with detail at level 3. I easily achieved better than this with my old 8600gt. Any ideas as to why I wouldnt be getting higher FPS's?

Did you remove your old drivers and then install the new ATI drivers?

Also, did you try turning up the settings to max?

What PSU are you using?

Running at 800x600 means your using your CPU for graphics rendering instead of the graphics card. Try uping the res to 1280x1024 and uping the detail levels.

^What JDoc said. Resolutions below 1280x1024 (and the widescreen equivalent) are very CPU limited.

UP YOUR REZ!!!!!!!!!

No it doesn't, it just means that the GPU load is so weak, the CPU is causing the bottleneck.
