This is because with mini display port the maximum resolution you will get is only 1280 x 800 : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3571
It's a hardware limitation with mini-display port on certain videocards.

This is in fact limitation of ACD 30, not the mDP

Another option would be an 8800GTS. I replaced my dead 8800GT with one of these and it ran much quieter and cooler due to the larger cooler.

If you prefer new one with warranty, get it form Apple store or any reseller (maybe you'll bet a better price, gotta check). If you'd want to lower the costs, you can grab used one from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Apple-ATI-R...Graphics-adapter-/86102219#req_6_all_qqq_null for about $100 less than new one from Apple store.

I guess at this point I'd feel more comfortable buying it through a place that will give me the full warranty. So I guess Apple or a reseller, but I can only seem to find a brand new one on Apple and Amazon through a 3rd party seller, not sure their return/warranty on this card (ATI Radeon HD5770).

OWC has it for sale more than the Apple Store!
