it just sounds like the fan bearings(or the like) are gone(which basically makes the fan REALLY loud), and if so you would need a new fan, not new card(unless you want one) unless your card has passive cooling, then, you might be having some serious problems

Is it loud enough you can hear it over the CPU fan? Try reinstalling it, make sure it's properly installed. Make sure the AGP bus is locked at 66Mhz, 100Mhz if it's PCI-E.
