As Jeff mentioned, you need to make sure your card and cables are all dual link DVI. This does not mean two DVI ports. In the picture on the left in this article, it means all of the pins exist as in the 2nd or 4th connector types. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface#Dual-link_DVI" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface#Dual-link_DVI</a> <br>

</div>The **** "currently using the VGA output of the card" **** might be<br>

</div>That is a feature of the GPU (video card). But it can also be part of<br>
how you are connecting the GPU to the display. Display resolutions you<br>
are talking about possibly may be DVI only [otherwise you are talking<br>
about WQXGA and higher - which I've been told by others can be dicey,<br>
that is really at the edge of the hardware. I've never dealt with them<br>
myself].<br>
