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...

Though parallel processing is an option but I doubt achieving 1GHz. You may split up signal path into 4 branches at 250MHz each but there will be dependency especially with filters and I doubt if this practical. I prefer to go as far as 300MHz clock at best thus restricting myself to about 100+MHz sinusoid including signal bandwidth.
