Well i have a bit more cash to spend before i go back to university (and then im broke again...) so i have the choice, the way i see it, of choosing either a new monitor or a new graphics card. The two choices i see are:
Nvidia 8800GTS
or
Viewsonic 22inch 2ms: ViewSonic: Products: Desktop Displays: LCD Displays: X Series: VX2235wm
I know there are better screens out there, but for the price (bearing in mind im in australia) it seems a pretty good at $385. The 8800GTS im looking at is $383. On one hand my 7900GT is starting to struggle with newer games at max res, and on the other hand my 2 mitsubishi 17inch screens are still nice, but have a 12ms response time.
Im not planning to spend any more that this so the question is, which do you think would be a better for me, bearing in mind i plat games a fair bit, and use graphics software (CAD, 3D, Photoshop)?
EDIT: Sorry the title should be 'Choice - Monitor OR GPU?'
