Hello, peeps.
My monitors are W2442PA-BF 24IN wide 2ms 1920x1080. I game (not a video or photo editor).
I'm considering upgrading from a Radeon 6950 to an R9 280 or 290x.

1) Will I see the most of the goodness of the card on my existing monitor? Or am I better off just waiting until I'm willing to get a new monitor?
2) Re: the new monitor - and I'd like to stick to 24" - would a BENQ XL2420Z or Asus VG248QE show off the vid card quality, or would the card be overkill?
3) Finally, considering current monitor, would a Gigabyte R9 280 be much of a visible upgrade over the Radeon 6950?

Many thanks in advance to "in the know" responders.
