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 signal using (nco or .mif file for the simulated signal from Matlab), and I'm really hoping to get something close to 1GHz (for example) if it possible!

Please explain what you want the 1GHz carrier for, and we can provide some advice. For example, the carrier can be generated using an digital-to-analog converter (DAC), or an external direct digital synthesizer (DDS), or an external phase-locked loop (PLL) (with low-jitter VCO). The design depends on your jitter requirements and whether you need to program the frequency, etc.
