Hey guys just quick question, this looks like a video card problem right? Maybe overheating? Just I'll go buy a new one today if you's agree. I've tried different monitors and cables, still problem. Cards about 4 years old... So looks dead to me. (That bottom image is StarCraft...)

Thanks guys.

Have you tried tightening all the cables and isolating them from other ones to reduce interference although it shouldn't be that huge an issue.

All video cards that ever failed on me just stopped working, I never got artifacting or graphical distortion. They just got too hot and one day wouldn't turn on.

After 4 years it's worth to upgrade if you game on PC a lot but worth checking the cables and inputs.

One of my video cards did something similar a few years back when it died, so I'd say most likely.

@philipduck: Yeah, it's either not sitting in its slot right or it's toast. That StarCraft II image especially...

Mind if I perhaps use that image for a piece? It's kind of inspiring in its brokenness.
