What graphics card for this screen

[domyboy]

Having built a new comp im looking for a nice new graphics card, im thinking of getting a 24" monitor and by the looks of it this looks the best bet
Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor
would everyone agree that this is a good 24" monitor or would i be better off with something else?
On the graphics card side im thinking of a 4870, would a single 4870 be enough to play games on the above monitor at 1920 x 1200 or any 24" monitor that is recommended?

Cheers Dom

a 4870 would do great on that screen, if you want more performance, then a 4870x2

Depends on what games you play/want to play and do you mean play all games with everything maxed?

Dell screens are great. I have 2005FPW which must be a good 4 years old now and its still working perfectly

4870 works great at 1920x1200. I use one myself on a 2407.

Depends on your budget/ needs really.
Even 3870XT still does fine if you're not AA/AF maniac.
4850 can handle everything up to date without probs with some AA/AF.
4870 will handle everything maxed with AA/AF.
4870x2 will allow you to put custom 24x AA and other extra stuff.

So it all depends on what do you expect .

A 4870 wont play Crysis at 1920x1280 maxed out with AA at playable frame rates

The superman III computer wont play crysis at that res

Thanks lads

so no problems with my choice of Monitor? Im guessing the Dell is not TN panel because of its price, am i right?

Also I read recently about a new firmware version or something, does it make any changes to the monitor? and how do i know if i get a new firmware model?

Cheers Dom

Trying to find a thread in here that was something to do with firmware versions for the dell monitor, A00 A01 or something. Whats all that about

Edit: found it, im having second thoughts about the dell, seems to be loads of input lag :S
