Hello there. i just recently purchased a Sapphire AGP 8X ATI Radeon X1650 pro with 512 mb DDR2 memory. now when i go to start run DXDIAG i get this, Hardware accelerated Direct3D 9+ is not available because the display driver does not support it. You may be able to get a newer driver from the hardware manufacturer.
