Anybody knows what the maximum resolution of the DFI out on a Radeon 9200 is?

I know it is single-link DVI, but there's still room for difference - for example GeForce 4 DVI only did 1600x1200, but my 5900 does 1920x1200 at 165 MHz just fine.

Which one is it?

It does because at 1920x1200, horizontal blanking periods are being reduced to run the same frame timing as with 1600x1200.

Furthermore, graphics cards can feed more pixels at the expense of frame rate - that's what the "Alternate Timing for large panels" switch is there for in the ATI driver. NVidia drivers often do that on their own, to cover up for many of their chips not being capable of a proper signal at 165 MHz.

Now, the question. Radeon 9200 has no such limitation; thus you can exploit to the full 165 MHz. That'll get you 1920x1200 at the best achievable frame rate - 60 Hz or a hair below.
