Hello,I run an old fx 5200 nvidia graphics card on my windows 7 just to watch all my dvd's on my home theatre system. I have installed flight sim x and now tells me to update my graphics or video card. On my old xp I ran the same grapfics card and F.S.X still works fine. Do you know perhaps what the problem is?
Thanks JP

The fx 5200 is a rather weak card compared to what's out today, but it should still work.

The FX5200 was a dog when new never mind comparing it to current cards :-) You're being too kind to it hehe.

It was designed as a budget cut down card of the then current series, and ended up being really bad for games.

LoL! Yeah, I'd never own one, but without knowing the OP's budget constraints I figured I'd just answer the question at hand. So, will the game play? Yes. Will it play well? Not by most's standards.
