    can, yes...

    I don't think it would be capable of anything more than a basic flash game though...

    i dont need it to game well - just to output at that native resolution to run basic stuff: spreadsheets / web, etc. i just want to be sure that specific card can output that resolution via hdmi.

    It looks like the answer is probably No.

    And I would probably say no to the analog (vga?) connector also.

    You need HDMI 1.4 to get higher than 1080p via HDMI. DisplayPort is the other option if you have it.
