I just got a new video card (ATI). The card will actually allow me to
set the gamma, brightness and contrast. Should I use that or use my
monitors controls?

Any adjustments that you make to the video card LUTs will be overwritten by your monitor profile. These tools, at least as I've seen them in the past, are really to allow noncalibrated users like gamers get what they want for specific uses; such as making games in the dark easier to see.
