I was planning on upgrading my system in 6 months or so, I usually upgrade major components every couple years. But my Radeon 9700 died recently (corrupted display/patterns during boot, and hardware failure when the drivers load), so I need to upgrade early, unless someone knows how to fix that specifically, but all symptoms seem to point to the card itself and I don't have another AGP system to test it on.
I'm not sure which direction to go, I've read about the PCI express, and dual core graphics, and new AGP offereings, but it doesn't seem clear on which way is best:
I could just get a new AGP card, but I think I might as well want to upgrade my motherboard and CPU now also. So any recommendations?
I have a 2.0Ghz Athlon 64 by the way, I've prefered AMD because of their price/performance ratio, but I'm thinking of moving away from ATI for graphics because I've had more problems with their cards.
And this is for a use of computer gaming mostly.
