Graphics Card starting to go?

Im running a Nvidia 7600gt card w/ 256 MB of memory, AMD Athlon 64 3800+ processor, and 2 gigs of memory. When I run Silent Hunter 3 or 4, I start getting a phenomenom kind of like the matrix. The pixels on the screen start trickling down and flashing different colors, but its barely noticeable and only happens in various places on the monitor (the whole screen isnt doing it). Also, the game gets kind of jumpy once in a while, then smooths out. I put the graphics card in about 6 months ago and bought it used off ebay. I believe it was in that guys computer for over a year. Probably not a good buy for me. I havn't had any problems up until now though. Thanks in advance!
