69 MHz pixel clock is for GPX resolution and refresh rate (1024x 864 x 60 Hz
refresh) 74 is only a little faster not sure what monitor that works with
SPX normally does 1024x1280 at 66 Hz (VR19 lo range ) uses a ~119 MHz pixel
clock
The SPX cards can be switched from GPX (1024x864 60 Hz refresh) to SPX
resolutions (1280x1024 66 Hz refresh) see:

Its funny that your VRT320 works with GPX because I have a few of those and
they work and the SPX rates only... The VR19 should work with the SPX cards if
they are set in SPX mode...
