Which TI4400 for good quality high-res 2D?

OK, time for me to upgrade my video card (currently an ASUS V7700 Deluxe).

I'm mostly looking at GeForce4 TI4400, from whatever manufacturer will have the features I want at the right price.

Mostly, I need something at least as good as my GF2 GTS at a resolution of 2048x1536, which means at least 75Hz@16 bits.
I checked the MSI 8871, and it only does 60Hz@2048x1536. That's not enough.
I couldn't get the specs for the Abit (no manual available for download). Same thing for the PNY.
The ASUS can do 2048x1536@75Hz, 32bits, and I'm very satisfied with my previous experiences with ASUS stuff, so it might be the winner. But I want to have a broad picture before.
The Leadtek can do 75Hz@16bits, but only 60Hz@32bits. Not good for me. Same thing for the Gainward.

What other cards did I miss?

To those already owning a TI4400, could you check in the manual what's the reolution (along with bit depth) that's supported @ 2048x1536? Thanks!

First - do you have a monitor that supports 2048x1536?

Second - why do you need 2048x1536?

I'll buy a Viewsonic P225F in about a month timeframe. It can do 2048x1536@79Hz.
It was the subject of a previous discussion here.

Second - why do you need 2048x1536?

Because 1600x1200 is not enough :)
Seriously, I wouldn't see the point of buying a 2048x1536 capable monitor and use it at 1600x1200, as I use that resolution on my 17".
