Video card and Display

[gamerguy2]

Which is more important for smooth framerates, motion blurring and less crashes?

The monitors refresh rate (In my case 8ms and 5ms 24" and 25.8" LCD)

Or the Videocard.

Will a good videocard compensate for a poor response time? Or if you had a LCD (IPS or TV etc) with a 16ms response time, would it be impossible to compensate for the bad response time with a good videocard?

A good video card will not fix a 16ms response time. With lower MS though I tend to ditch vsync and just push for more FPS with better cards to help compensate for any kind of tearing.

maybe i am misunderstanding you but the more fps you have with vsync off then the more tearing that will be visible.
