I wouldn't change it yet. Personally I'd just change the slot the card is in to another one a few times, see if that helps, be it either a new AGP slot or PCI slot, depending on the card .
Then see if you can get a new video card to test it out. However it will cost a lot to get a decent video card, and if that doesn't work it's a waste.
I'd suggest either borrowing one, but few people will lend one unless they have a spare, or taking it into a store that specialises in computer repair, and then asking them to try out a new video card temporally. Or even seeing if they can fix the problem, with the current card, without having a new card. I wouldn't go out and waste money on a video card that may not work.
