Hi,

7970m in a P150EM has HDMI + Display Port + DVI

I realise the DVI is single link and therefor only supports 60hz.

Does the Display Port output handle 120hz?

Please post your real world experience, so many threads online stipulating that it should but in these cards when combined with integrated graphics have limitations on the wiring and apparently go through the HD4000 which creates the limitations?

Also if the answer is Yes to the above question, would an active display port to Dual Link DVI cable work to 120+hz?

The intel does control the output and it does impose its limitations on the port. It's not supported very well by intel (120hz) some monitors only do 100hz for example, it seems to vary.
