Here ya go:
Quick answer--"yes". If you use Powerstrip or one of its competitors
you can even have nonstandard DVI resolutions--I'm running the DVI on an
8500DV at 1366x768 for example.
<<<<
The board goes up to 2048 x 1536, so
even if it can't support its _max_ resolution on the DVI, 1280x1024 is
well below the max.
2048x1536 is the max.
Here is a review:
Another reboot, and we were up and running in 32-bit color at 800 by 600
resolution, with other settings as close as an ATI icon in the taskbar
system tray. Flicker is not an issue: If your monitor can handle it, the AiW
Radeon 8500 offers an 85Hz refresh rate at a whopping 2,048 by 1,536-pixel
resolution, with 120Hz refresh for 1,600 by 1,200 and up to 200MHz for 1,280
by 1,024 and below.
