So I have isa graphics card from 1990 by Chips & Technologies named QP-VGA4 based on F82C450. It gives this crappy rippling effect, mostly visible during booting, but it is present almost always. I'm just wondering is it actually gpu problem or maybe changing some capacitors or etc. would fix it?

Here's video of what's happening: https://youtu.be/qPp8GRqUC2o

Well, changing the caps, especially the tantalum ones, is a good start.

common mode interference, maybe ?
