The Highest Carrier Frequency for Stratix III

Dears All, Greetings, I was just wondering about how high I can get as an output from the the Stratix III Development Kit as a carrier frequency. I know I can use two ways to generate that...

It depends only on your Fs (clock). The highest sine frequency for on given clock is half of that clock i.e. when you sample only two data points per sine cyle from LUT.

Thus if you want higher freq you need higher clock(for same LUT)
