Realview for unsupported graphics card

Hello,

Please I have gone through many discussions on activating realview for unsupported graphics card but none have worked for me.

Want to know if someone using a similar card like mine was able to enable it or if it can't work at all?

My graphics card from device manger shows "Intel(R) HD graphics.

But shows "GDI Generic" in G2ishaders as I followed through all the threads.

Thanks in anticipation.

Yes, I have listed my graphics card in the registry still, it doesn't work

If you don't have an issue with editing your registry, you can try going to :
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Solidworks\Solidworks XXXX\Performance\Graphics\Hardware\Gl2Shaders\Other

Replace "Solidworks XXXX" with your version like "Solidworks 2018"

Right click and add the key "Intel(R) HD graphics"

Go he new key you added and Right-click on the right pane and select "New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value"

Name this new key "Workarounds"

Double-click on the "Workarounds" key and enter the value "30408". You should be in Hexadecimal mode.
