1600x1200 max res for DVI output?

[DVad3r]

Q. Is there a maximum resolution for the DVI output?

A. Yes, it is 1600x1200.

Is this true??? How come I'm running at 1680x1050 on my FPW then using DVI on my 7800 GTX? Should I use regular vid connector instead of DVI then?

Single link DVI can go up to the native res of the 2405, 1920x1200 without issues.

1) See Jello's comment
2) 1680x1050 is actually less overall pixels (therefore less video bandwidth) than 1600x1200
3) Never use VGA on an LCD at high resolution if you can avoid it

I agree with all comments.

I run 1920x1200@60Hz on my LCDs at work all the time.

my 6800 did 1920x1200 no problem.

Ya I've been running my setup all this time with no problem, I don't know why that would be on the BFG site FAQ, maybe Ill send them an e-mail.

I think techincally only dual link DVI can go above 1600x1200 at 60hz. Not sure though, someone correct me if im wrong.
