They build a high-end-card like this and offer refresh-rates of only 75Hz@resolutions higher than 1024x768?!?!?!
Uuhps - I forgot - they offer a stunning refresh-rate of 85Hz at the obviously most common resolutions of 1600x1024 and 1600x1344!
And - surprise: only one DVI-TFT resolution 1600x1200!

OK, I'm confused.
When I clik the thread, I get something about Oly Audio stuff, but now below my reply window is something about the Radeon...
Refresh rates are more dependant on the monitor than the card these days.
There are usually two tables, suggested and all possible. 75Hz is probably "suggested". Both my Radeon and Orion will do 1024 at 85 and 1280 at 75 on the ancient monitors I have, although 1024@75 is "suggested".

If it does 1600x1344 at 85 Hz it's likely that it does 1600x1200 at 85 Hz too. I wonder if it would need a little hack to get those refresh rates though.
OTOH, I don't see the flicker at 75 so it's kinda moot for me.
What I don't like is the lack of the 1280x960 and 1400x1050 resolutions. On a 4:3 CRT, 1280x1024 distorts the image, and on a 19" monitor my preferred resolution 1400x1050. That said, I use 1600x1200 (75 Hz) because my PC Radeon doesn't support 1400x1050 either.
