If there's enough memory on the card, you should be able to get an even
higher resolution than that. I've seen GX cards running as high as
1600x1280, but I don't remember which GX variant it was.

Unfortunately, the GX cards (all variants) are limited to 8 bit color.
You might be able to find a 24-bit Sbus card (GS or ZX, I think).
