As the title suggests I want to power two 2560 x 1440 monitors from one graphics card.

I am just about to send my second graphics card back to Amazon, so before I purchase a 3rd incorrect card I thought I should get some advice.

My latest card has dual DL-DVI output but only supports 2560 x 1440 on one output, the other maxes out at 1920 x 1080.

Can graphics cards with two Dual Link DVI adapters (or alternately, one Dual Link DVI and one DisplayPort support the a full 2560 x 1440 on both monitors, or does that depend on the graphics hardware and not only the connectors?
