Do current ATI cards support DVI at 1600 x 1200?

VGA, but what is the limit with respect to the single-channel DVI
connector? I understand hi-res DVI hasn't been supported on older
cards, forcing you to switch to the analog VGA connection above 1280 x
1024. But what about the newer Radeons? The specs don't specify this
detail.

The Radeon 8500 and later with DVI can all run the IBM T221 at its
native 3840x2400 resolution via the DVI. You may have to get Powerstrip
in order to be able to set that resolution though. 1600x1200 should be
no problem for the board.

The earlier Radeons may be able to do this as well--the 8500 is the
earliest that I'm sure of.
