[Pc_Support] What to do - NewEgg is replacing/refunding me for faulty Geforce 6200

The nVidia Geforce 6200 PCI-Express card I got in January went sour this 
past week and the particular one I got has been discontinued.  They've 
just let me know that within the next two days they'll send me an offer 
for either the exchange of a comparable product or refund for its 
"current market value".  The question is, given that Geforce 6200 cards 
are worth $80+, would it be worth my while simply getting another 
similar card or upgrading to something higher-end, like a 6600?  I've 
always been interested in having a good video capture card but there 
seem to be so few on the market today that are PCI-Express-based.  For 
$100 they have a ATI Radeon X600 Pro card with VIVO 
(http://www.sapphiretech.com/vga/x600-pro.asp) which seems interesting, 
but do Radeon cards have the same problems they used to running on 
nVidia chipsets?  Suggestions?
