What step-up from a 9800 Pro?

I have a 9800 Pro that is artifacting quite badly when I watch divx videos.

I am thinking it needs replacing, but I can't afford to spend more than £100 (less is better).

I'm sure things have moved on since this.

What should I be looking for?

It needs to be AGP, and I need a DVI and a VGA (???) out.

Thanks,

Chris

Is it just DIVX video? try disabling hardware acceleration i've heard ati are a bit buggy with that enabled, it might not be a faulty card at all.

Is that a bios thing, or something I could switch off in the Catalyst Control Centre?

It should be in the media players options, just a setting to turn hardware acceleration off.

Turned it off, but still not great.

I think I can put up with it for the time being. Will hold off replacing it until the inevitable PCI-E upgrade.

Thanks guys.
