RE: How to determine maximum frame buffer size?

EnumDisplaySettings does indeed return the available display resolutions and refresh frequencies. But OpenGL is *window* rather than display based and windows can be resized larger than the display. 

So the question remains, what's the maximum window size supported by a render context?
