When you finish installing or upgrading SOLIDWORKS on your machine,
run
SOLIDWORKS Rx to ensure that your machine is running a supported graphics card and graphics
card driver.
To validate
graphics cards
when
installing or upgrading:
-
When the Installation Manager completes installing and displays the Finish page, under Check Your System, click Run System Diagnostics.
SOLIDWORKS Rx starts and runs diagnostics.
-
SOLIDWORKS Rx confirms if the graphics card and graphics card
driver are
supported.
If the graphics card is supported but the driver is not, a status message may
provide an indication for a driver update.
Every tenth time you start SOLIDWORKS, a Check Your
System message appears and recommends that you run system diagnostics
again. To suppress these notifications, right-click SOLIDWORKS Resource Monitor
in the Windows notification area and click Dismiss Graphics Notifications.
You can validate a graphics card and driver at any time by
right-clicking
the SOLIDWORKS Resource Monitor in the Windows notification area.
The
menu
also lets you:
- Access
Help
for the SOLIDWORKS Resource Monitor
- Run System
Diagnostics
- Dismiss

- Dismiss Subscription
