Hello!

I have a ROG Zepherus with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU. I am trying to connect the GPU to SolidWorks. I am using SolidWorks for free through my college. I know it is not a typical supported GPU. I have tried everything. 

I went into the NVIDIA Control Panel and edited the program settings for SolidWorks with the SLDWORKS.exe file and put it on High Performance NVIDIA Processor. 

I tried going into the registry and manually adding the renderer and hardware NVIDIA Quadro K2000 along with the driver nvoglnt.dll in manually created files Graphics-> Hardware-> Current all under Performance in "SolidWorks 2024". I put the registration entities in Current. I tried making them capitalized and lowercase. I cannot find the files of Graphics-> Hardware-> Current that are supposed to be under Performance or overall in the SolidWorks folder under Registry Editor. 

I have added the desktop app to my Graphics Settings on my computer and changed the GPU preference to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU. 

In the actual SolidWorks software, I cannot get RealView Graphics Icon to appear under the Heads-Up toolbar nor can I get it to be not gray under View->Display. I cannot toggle it. I double checked the Task Manager to make sure SolidWorks 2024 was on my computer. 

I removed OneDrive from my files so it was not interfering with trying to get SolidWorks and my GPU connected. 

Is there anything I have not tried? Or is it impossible to get my GPU hooked up to SolidWorks?

The suggested answer was to download GeForce Game Ready Driver 442.59 | Windows 10 64-bit but I downloaded it and it says it is incompatible with Windows 11.

If I failed to explain something, please let me know and I will clarify.

Thank You
