Could well be - or the graphics driver is corrupt.
It's garbled right from the boot-up.
Any suggestions for a new card at any rate? I'm sticking with nVidia since I know my way around their drivers.
Looked at an 8800GT the other day (which I think my PC took offense to that, hence my card dying the day after), and they're a bit out of my price range. Not too keen on spending much either with the 9xxx series on its way which may affect prices on existing cards when it hits its budget-model range, but I wouldn't mind something that could run any modern-day game respectably.
(or at least something faster than my MacBook's 8600m GT, as that bloody card runs circles around my rig's 6800GT)
