I would appreciate any advice on my current GPU and monitor. I have two Dell U2410s attached to a 1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 v2 (EVGA) using DVI cables. I bought the Dell's because they were highly recommended in Photography magazines, but I really didn't appreciate the fact they were wide gamut 10-bit displays. I am a very keen hobbyist photographer and use Lightroom and Photoshop about 4 hours per day and print out many images. My questions are:

1. Does this card support 10 bit?
2. Am I getting a wide gamut display on my monitor?

I can imagine many of you shaking your head at my naivety, but hope you'll see through that and provide me with advice that helps me move forward... i.e. I'm about to spec out a new rig using the i7 8700 CPU. I'll probably keep these monitors unless the consensus would be to sell them on eBay and get a larger 8-bit display.

I am also doing research (I know Bing is my friend :)), but learn best through dialogue - my aim is to make sure I am fully educated so I make the right choices for my new build.

Thanks, in advance, for the great advice.
