I downloaded a new driver for the graphics card but nothing to do... of the cp I am obliterate to work in wireframe which is a shame for a 3D software

Hello

 

Have you downloaded the latest SolidWorks recommended drivers?

The latest drivers on the manufacturer's official website are not necessarily certified by SolidWorks...

Hello

Unfortunately it must be the graphics card that is outdated if the drivers are up to date

Could we have the model of your graphics card?

Here is a link that brings together the compatibility

http://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/SystemRequirements.html

Logically it must pass, otherwise as Lucas and the others say, you have to look at the graphics drivers that are compatible with SolidWorks because not all of them are.

Here is the link to the solidworks website.

the graphics card is an nvidia quadro K2000

Normally no problems with this driver: http://www.solidworks.fr/downloads/videocarddriver/nvidia/310.90-quadro-tesla-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe (64 bits)

Or this one: http://www.solidworks.fr/downloads/videocarddriver/nvidia/310.90-quadro-tesla-win8-win7-winvista-32bit-international-whql.exe (32-bit).

Only version 310.90 is certified to work with SolidWorks 2011 for Windows 7 64-bit.

 

Going to the device manager and then to the graphics card details in the driver tab, at the version level, there should be:

9.18.13.1090

 

Edit: or from the desktop > right-click> Nvidia Control Panel > System Information at the bottom left. There is the driver version, and 310.90 should be indicated there.

 

If not, install 310.90 .

I just tested on my Windows Seven workstation with a Solidworks 2011: no problem.

 

For test go to solidworks, without anything open, tools, option, performance, check the box "emulate the Open GL function" if everything goes back to normal it's a problem related to the graphics card, so either the driver of the card, or a module like nview on nvidia cards, or a windows display mode like for example the aero themes.

an answer can be completely far-fetched, but hey: have you tried to press the O key (letter)?

 Hello

 

  First of all, what is the type of your station? H.P I guess.

 

If that's it, go to the hp website to download the drivers that are suitable for your workstation or as said above, take a look at the official Solidworks portal.

 

I have the same graphics card as you, and have no display problems.

 

Can you send us some screenshots? (device manager, solidworks in progress etc...)

 

Kind regards.
