    Time for a new card?

    Check this out:

    My card has been doing that weird stuff in Media Player lately. This three year old card has been slowly dying day by day but now I think it is getting worse. Time to move on to bigger and better (and newer) things. Does anyone think I need a new card? If so, what would you recommend? Thanks.

    Would setting your card back to default clock speed help?

    heck on an 850MHz athlon classic, even a ti4200 is a waste. however he should upgrade his entire rig or just get a cheap geforce3 ti200

    Yeah, that was my point... A Ti-4200 would be a waste.
