'lo all,
Do these screen shots mean my GPU is dieing?
Screen went like that during a game of C&C3 Demo (been playing it fine for a week). Rebooted, same problem, reloaded drivers, same problem. Now I'm thinking I'll need a new GPU?
Rig is 4 years old (and about to be passed on to the family) but I need a GPU that will mean I can continue to game until May (when I will assemble a new rig). ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB looks like a fun upgrade, but I only want to do this if my current Raedon 9700 pro is actually broken, and if my 4 year old AGP motherboard will work with the Radeon X1950.....does it need MORE then simply an AGP slot? Powersupply is 350W....will that cope with going from supporting the 9700 to the X1950???
Any advice would be appreciated, you could well save me a lot of time and money.
