Problem with Graphics acceleration

[Guest BrownDog]

I have just brought a new ASUS V9520 Geforce FX 5200 for my pc (AMD2.1 Elite K7s5a board 784MB RAM).When i try to turn the hardware acceleration on in the display menu in Flightsim it resets itself when i go back into it after. I have just switched over from a TNT2 Nvidia 32MB card and i was wandering if some of the settings in BIOS might be different to what they should be because of this change over?Another thing, my motherboard can only take 4x AGP but this card is 8X AGP, could this be the reason why i cannot use hardware acceleration?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

First Question....Have you gone to your MB's manufacturers site and looked for possibly an upodated Bios?. Sometimes this can make a world of difference.After doing some searching it would appear that your MB is not of the highest quality or stability. This is in no way meant as a flame.. Check here to see what I'm talking of.....http://forum.ocworkbench.com/ocwbcgi/ultim...%20amp;t=001477Spend some time here and see if you come up with anything. Sorry couldn't be more help.Bobby

Browndog,I have the same board and the 4x AGP shouldn't be a factor. Does your new card have a control panel? And have you run dxdiag to check if everything is working? As far as the BIOS, I'm not sure either. I changed the graphics memory setting to 128mg but didn't seem to make much difference. I think the K7S5A got pretty good revues when it came out, and it's been very stable for me.Todd
