It's limited by software, iirc, have to read the specs again.
But i know that at least the G200 has problems if the video
resolution gets too big (clocking problems in the back end scaler).

This part of the code is really old, would not surprise me
if it was written by Aaron Holtzman, so it is likely to
be outdated by now.

Also software scaling from large resolution sources
down isn't something you can easily do as you will
reach the IO bandwith limit of your system.
