Hello!

I have a HP Z400 Workstation with an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 gts graphics card. Despite switching between monitors, the colors are inaccurate, too red and bright, so I've located the problem to be in the old graphics card. Here's the question: should I buy a new graphics card or try something else? If so, what graphics cards would be compatible with HP Z400? The monitor I have is a 23-inch HP Pavilion 23xi, and I use the workstation mainly for digital art, so accurate color is priority.

EDIT: Also, I'm doing 3d modeling!

Thanks for your help!

popatim, ehmagawd, calibrating the gamma really helped a lot... Gosh I feel such a newbie right now. I should be able to borrow a Spyder colorimeter next week, so maybe I can pull through this without a new graphics card. Thanks for the heads-up.
