Well, what -if any - display issues are you having?

The "Not Certified" message is simply because Autodesk hasn't tested the card
yet. It's generally not something you get freaked out about. The FX 1800 is a
pretty new card, so it's natural to get this message.

Try downloading the latest graphics card testing database and see if that
"fixes" the "problem."

Hi, I have a similar problem. My laptop has an intel HD4000 as well as an AMD 7450M. AutoCAD picks up the Intel but still shows the "Your machine contains..." message. I assume this is because of the AMD, which is the card i want to use. Is there a way to manually set which card ACAD uses? Thanks for any tip you may have. I´m having the same issue with MAX and Photoshop (I know this one doesn´t concerne you) so maybe the AMD is just a crappy card. Thanks again.
