what exactly does this patch do and what is the benefit?

Thanks, looks quite interesting...

Well, as stated in the OP it removes the 330 MHz pixel clock limit for dual link DVI built into AMD Catalyst drivers.

The benefit is that this allows you (in combination with ToastyX's CRU.exe tool) to overclock certain 2560x1440 monitors to approximately 120Hz, especially the Overlord Tempest X270OC and the Yamakasi Catleap Extreme 2B, which both have the same S-IPS panels and overclockable PCBs.

There may be other things you can do with the patcher, but this is the only one I know of. I use it. I love it. I cannot live without it.
