I hooked it up with the D-Sub of my piss-ant on-board intel chip, and other than a slight blurriness (due to analog signal loss, no doubt, or a low-q A/D), it seems to push the full resolution quite well. 2560X1440 at 60Hz, I get good response, and full screen video is fine, even 1080P video files render nicely, though you can see the frame rate is not full. B. a friend who is a video editor will give me an older dual HD4850 ATI card. At 1 TeraFLOP it can handle 4 HD screens, so I have no doubt it will be over the top for my modest single screen, and the price is so cheap (used) that I don't mind the old hardware version.
