Please tell how you I am not able to do since even copy exactly step by step from video.

For people who have problem with NVIDIA Geforce RTX card , you need to do an aditional step (see point 3 below): In Registry Editor. Replace "SOLIDWORKS 2021" by your version 1) at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks\SOLIDWORKS 2021\Performance\Graphics\Hardware\Current -> copy the value of Renderer, for example : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/PCIe/SSE2 2) at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks\SOLIDWORKS 2021\Performance\Graphics\Hardware\Gl2Shaders\NV40 create a key : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/PCIe/SSE2 in this key create a value DWORD (32bit) : Workarounds set the value of Workarounds at 80408 (or 32408, ...) 3) at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks\SOLIDWORKS 2021\Performance\Graphics\Hardware\NVIDIA Corporation create a key : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/PCIe/SSE2 in this key create a value DWORD (32bit) : Workarounds set the value of Workarounds at 40000

This worked for me. I dont think the graphics look as good as they did before the RTX NVidia update but at least its close and has reflections back on.

how to make sure that SolidWorks use your NVIDIA card, because i tried eveything its worked before but now i upgraded to 2020, and tried eveything but doesnt work, the option doesnt appear on right side on screen ,i have to see it from view-display- real view graphics, its grayed.... i think solidworks isnt detecting my gpu

Hello, my dear friend. To switch to the dedicated NVIDIA GPU: 1. Open the NVIDIA control panel. One way to do this is by right-clicking on an empty space on the desktop and selecting NVIDIA control panel. 2. Navigate to 3D settings > Manage 3D settings. 3. Open the Program settings tab and select your game from the dropdown menu. 4. Select Preferred graphics processor for this program from the second dropdown menu. Your NVIDIA GPU should appear as "High-performance NVIDIA processor" 5. Save your changes. 6.subscribe the channel and have fun

[@solidworkslearning6666]

Hello, my friend. Don't worry try these steps carefully again two more values were introduced in number 11. if you still have that issue reply and I will give you a link. it will work, just make sure you are doing that on the latest version of your SolidWorks. 1.Open the registry (Run -> regedit) 2.Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER>SOFTWARE>Solidworks>SOLIDWORKS 2017>Performance>Graphics>Hardware>Current" 3. Double click on the "Renderer" key and copy the text under "Value Data". For example, for the GTX 1070 mine was "GeForce GTX 1070/PCIe/SSE2" (my friend laptop) 4.Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWARE>Solidworks>SOLIDWORKS 2015>Performance>Graphics>Gl2Shaders>NV40" 5.Right-click on the NV40 folder on the left pane and select "New -> Key" 6.Rename the new key with what was copied in step #3 7.The only key in this folder should be a "(Default)" key 8.Right-click on the right pane and select "New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value" 9.Name this new key "Workarounds" 10.Double-click on the "Workarounds" key and enter the value "30408". You should be in Hexadecimal mode. 11.RealView should now be available. If it is not, try setting the value in step #10 to "31408" or "30008". 12.subscribe ty 😃

@@dmaxsaint5895 I’m glad I came across your comment because I’ve tried every method I could find and nothing worked. Didn’t think to roll back the driver and test. I have a 3080ti so my next worry was if I could roll back far enough. The earliest driver for it worked though, 466.77. Tried installing the version after that and Realview was gone again. So I now have that driver in a folder named Latest Realview compatible driver so I can swap drivers if I need to.
