I see that single link DVI supports up to WQUXGA (3,840 × 2,400) @ 17 Hz (164 MHz) whereas dual link DVI supports up to WQUXGA (3,840 × 2,400) @ 33 Hz with GTF blanking (2 × 159 MHz)
The manual for my motherboard states:
"The DVI-I port supports both digital and analog DVI displays. The maximum supported resolution is 1900 x 1200 (WUXGA). The DVI port is compliant with the DVI 1.0 specification. The DVI analog output can be converted to VGA using a DVI- VGA converter."
and
"DisplayPort’s maximum supported display resolution is 2560 x 1600 at a 60 Hz refresh rate with a 16:10 aspect ratio (WQXGA)."
Therefor, it appears that if I want to drive a 2560x1440 (or 1600) monitor without having to purchase a separate video card I'll need to go through the Displayport.
