2560x1600 works with the OpenGL renderer but grid lines appear on 2D screen elements such as the game menu and HUD. The lines do not transect the 3D viewport but they are annoying to look at. The lines also appear in 1920x1200 res with the OpenGL renderer, but not with the DirectX renderer.

2048x1536 is as good as you're going to get if your monitor supports that resolution.
