Crossfire X 6870s: 120Hz TN vs. 60Hz H-IPS

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Hey Everyone,

I'm contemplating on which type of 27" monitor to get with my gaming rig.
Everyday I surf on the internet heavily and game lightly (first person shooters, Crysis 2, etc), and use it for school.
I don't do any photo editing or movie editing.
Which monitor type is best for me?
When I'm playing Crysis 2 on max settings, will a 60Hz monitor bring the fps back from it's true potential?

2 Monitors I'm considering:

1.Dell U2711
2.Samsung S27A950D

Gaming Rig:

Intel Core i7 960 @ 3.2 Ghz
AMD Radeon HD 6870 in Crossfire X
6 gb 1333mhz RAM

Thanks

Thanks, and do you happen to know the model # of the monitor? or better yet, hows the pricing then I would know. If it is about 600 it is probably an H-IPS, if not and it is about 300 or less it is probably a TN.

Which monitor do you recommend?
Dell's U2711 is on sale for about $832.
I can't decide to get a:
Single U2711,
or get a Single Samsung S27A950D (27" 120Hz 1080p monitor),
or get Dual Alienware AW2210 (21.5" 60Hz 1080p monitor.
Which is best for light fps gaming?

Before I jump the gun, do you think my hardware is going to be fast enough to overcome 60 fps in Crysis 2 on the ultrasharp? I was just wondering if the monitor would create some tearing when my computer gets higher fps than the monitor can output. Any significant input lag? Is maybe a dual 21.5" TN setup better?

I believe your 6870cfx should be able to push past 60, if it does tear from excessive framerates just enable vsync.. that is what it is there for ;)

I don't think crossfire 6870s is enough to average 60fps with Crysis 2 maxed out with all the new patches, it will occasionally spike in small areas but for the most part you will be close to and probably slightly under 60 fps.
