Hey folks,

I think I can guess that my ati 4800hd which is nearly 4 years old is starting to give up the ghost.

It started with Firefox having mild corruption around the GUI, and then websites themselves were flashing on and off, with big black boxes covering different areas.

Then it progressed to windows itself having corrupt, flashing menu bars, start menu etc. it has been crashing a number of times as well with thousands of lines of different colours before rebooting and a few bosd mentioning ati dll files.

Am I wrong or is it new gfx card time? If so any suggestions on a cheap reasonably good ones?

Cheers!
 
Thanks, any suggestions on what card to replace it with? I assume anything these days would be faster then the 4870?
 
Thanks for the suggestions, wasn't planning on spending much! The computers 4 years old, just a core2duo 3ghz with 4 gig ram so a powerful gfx card might be a little over kill!

I was thinking max 100 quid, if not less! Just wasn't sure what was the best value for money?
