SuperMac Spectrum 24 III ceramic capacitor?

ktkm

The video suddenly became raggedy and stripy in right edges of windows, menus, and other GUI elements (only when displaying millions of colours). Upon closer inspection, I found a blown ceramic capacitor on the back of the card. I thought I replace it, but I don‘t know the value, or where to retrieve it. Where can I find such information? Help much appreciated.

Here is a picture. I tested the traces close the blown capacitor, and they are fine.

I'm not very familiar with this card, but I'm guessing that cap is supposed to be a bypass capacitor for an IC (based off the fact that there aren't any bypass caps on the top side, and this one looks like it's connecting two power traces, as a bypass cap would). In that case, it should probably be replaced with a 0.01uF ceramic.
