It leaves the option, for me no freeze on a hardware it's just that if the driver is not recognized it does not activate certain graphics mode (because not possible) like on some games by the way the driver not recognized for it no graphics card or emulated by the proc so no hardware acceleration. (even if in the end the card is recent and can be more powerful than an old pro card.
My graphics card is no longer certified for sw2023 and it still works from time to time graphics bugging (black sw screen).
Yes, there is a link with the card model, at least for antialiasing and performance improvements. On a GTX1080 following an update (automatic 
thanks to windows update) of the driver, NVidia changed the name of the card, but obviously hard (FW?) since even a return to a previous driver could never sober up these options in SW which had not undergone any update. And since then, no Geforce allows these options.
The antialiasing worked perfectly and I never had a graphical bug.
And for this to persist despite a downgrade of the driver, SW is not based only on that.
Hello world!
The subject seems interesting to me.
I would also be very frustrated to have to buy " professional " and therefore overpriced equipment when from experience, " general public " or " gamer " equipment does the job on certain tasks.
Now I have a question for you:
activate REALVIEW for non-certified graphics cards, I already have it thanks to the following tutorial (very well done by the way):
but is there the same kind of manipulation for SOLIDWORKS VISUALIZE?
I am experiencing serious performance problems and almost systematic crashes with another PC.
I would say no, Realview and Vizualize don't use the same type of calculations at all...
to summarize (very) roughly " Relview " is only lighting and reflectivity management while Vizualize is based on vector facetization.
that's why Vizualize recommends activating the " CUDA " mode of the graphics card.
Where it will get frustrating is that graphics cards with " CUDA " drivers were originally developed for " Gaming " with real-time rendering/lighting management... and they are now also used for the calculations of " generative Artificial Intelligences"

Yes, in the same way that cryptomining has totally rotted this segment for the most modest exchanges and other poor little gamers for whom it was initially intended...
Hi @twathle
A priori @pierre.mihailovic seems to have followed this tutorial or equivalent but what intrigues me is that he says
Because on my side I have never had a problem with this method.
Unless by " rendering " he is talking about the Photoview360 rendering, in which case it's normal. Realview is only concerned with real-time rendering of the viewport.
Hello everyone,
It's me again with the same problem of activating RealView again (it's the one that makes dynamic renderings and not PhotoView which gives static renderings in a specific window).
But since then I have a Dell Precision 7780 with an NVIDIA RTX 4000 ada card with 12 GB, SolidWorks certified with the R535 driver.
First start of SW (2019 SP5.0), no RealView. I then followed the tutorial cited above by Twathle RealView did not appear in the menu. I found another tutorial indicating a slightly different manipulation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjGsd9AXVQM), there RealView is available in the menu but remains inactive, nothing happens when I select it, the rendering is still basic.
In the SW system options in the Performance chapter, the " Emulate OpenGL functions" box is grayed out...
I read on the net that some recent cards, even certified ones, could get stuck and that you had to find another driver.
I'm going to get grumpy.
Do any of you have an idea?
Thank you and have a good day
Hello
Have you installed the patch recommended by SW for the card to be usable on SW2019?

Be careful though:
Solidworks certifies the Nvidia RTX 4000 card but not necessarily the RTX 4000 ada which are not based on the same technologies (the " ada " cards being mainly dedicated to Gaming).
(According to this site, the realview is effective with the 537.3 / Ryzen 5800x driver)
But I would like to add, in addition, the proposal of @Cyril.f for the Solidworks plug-in (without forgetting to disable the " Improved graphics performance" option in the Solidworks settings: System option / Performance...

Hello
The ada versions are certified for SW

I especially see that the RTX Ada is certified for other (future) versions than the 2019.
The RTX 4000 is certified from SW2022 not before.
https://www.solidworks.com/support/hardware-certification/
The same goes for the tower, but it is obviously less problematic.
So unfortunately not surprising that it works poorly.

To be seen but in the release note file it is not specified ada version or not. Just the RTX range so to test all the same. But hey, 2019 is starting to make a big gap in terms of version

Hello @Maclane
Thanks for the benchmark. You don't know if the 2024 version of SPECapc is compatible with previous versions of SW (2020)? Or if you have to have the 2020?
(If anyone is looking for the 2020, it is here: https://www.spec.org/gwpg/pastissues/Sep1_20/apc.static/sw2020info.html )

Good evening and a big thank you to Cyril.f, the patch works perfectly. At a lot of thousands of euros per station, I would have had a little trouble explaining that it was still not the right one. Yes, from 2019 to 2024 it's a gap but also a few extra euros, not necessarily justified except for the compatibility of the versions.
Thanks also to Maclane for introducing me to the splendid verb plussoyer. I'll be less stupid from now on.

Be careful with the use of the verb plussoyer if you meet Victor H or Mr Poquelin, they may not understand you
