Not in a course of argument, but just to mention. The modes that I cited
are from the DVI standard restrictions (basically driven by data troughput
restriction) taken verbatrim from wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface

I only took the mode with highest X*Y resolution hence having smallest
refresh frequency. In the reference above all modes are listed including
practical ones (with refresh rates 60 and 30 Hz).

I screwed up about one thing though: I called DVI-D "dual link" whereas
DVI-D stands for "digital only" both single or dual link, there doesn't
seem to be special designation for dual link...

As far as what particular card can/will support, it all depends on the
chip it uses (and may also for the same chip depend on board design).

I hope, this clears it all. And my apologies if my original message caused
any confusion.
