One of the most common problems is not having a certified card (NVIDIA QUADRO), if you want to have realview graphics, it is possible with any NVIDIA card, I leave you the link of a tutorial, it has been very useful, even on cards of low profile, I have used it in NVIDIA GTX 580, GTX 660, GTX 750, among others.
THE VIDEO IS IN SPANISH BUT STILL THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE SO SIMPLE, YOU DO NOT REQUIRE THE AUDIO

If I followed that, he copied his Renderer name in the registery
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/SolidWorks/SOLIDWORKS2015/Performance/Graphics/Hardware/Current/Renderer
then pasted it as the name of a new key in:
(etc…)/Hardware/GL2Shaders/NV40 (or whatever your computation architecture is)
then inserted a new reg DWORD there called Workarounds with the value of 40000.

Exactly, in the first step in the CURRENT / RENDERER folder, it is only to obtain the name of the current video card, and in the second step is to add the data of the same to the list of certified cards.
PS: the value of 40000 has worked for me on at least 6 different video cards, which is why I think it's a general value.
Best video I found here regarding the RealView hack for NVIDIA and Radeon cards, and just the whole process in general.
Also I figured out the limits required for doing it on an Intel card here...
I’m seeing these as possible workaround DWORD values:
80408
80008
40408
40008
60008
30408
31408
30008
40000 universal?
8 intel?
im also sensing this should work with any gpu that has GL2 (OpenGL 2.x or higher) be it nvidia intel or amd.
Tested with my old Radeon 6870 (OpenGL 4.1), seems to work fine on the first try with 40000.
I've done that a while ago with mi GTX770 4GB and works really well, one of the best mods for those who don't have the money or the access to professional GPUs.
I just made real view on a PC with Intel HD graphics card.
A zillion kudos for all of you!
It's great to know that the post has been useful to you
Intel HD graphics can be also activated following the same procedure, So far all the laptop of my student were activated with the Solidworks 2017 EDU

Using the limits as 8 right?

Do not be fooled. You can not work comfortably in realview mode without quadro videocard. Any rotation or movement of the part will be with display delay. In large assemblies, it is impossible to work at all. The reason is not in a beautiful picture. The fact is that the solidworks transfer part of the calculations from the CPU to the quadro. And your video cards are not suitable for such calculations.
Leave the display settings as is. Your productivity in solidworks will be higher.
