System/Graphics Card Requirements

Certified graphics cards and systems, anti-virus applications, and system requirements for SolidWorks and the SolidWorks product data management software.

  

  1. Choose whether to display Certified or Tested cards and click Show Passing or Show All
  2. Certified (Recommended)
    Tested (Not Recommended)


  3. Select the system vendor (i.e. Dell, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, etc.) if the graphics card was shipped with the system. This is especially important for laptop systems as the graphics driver must come from the system vendor. If the graphics card was purchased independent of the system, then select the graphics card vendor.
  4. Select the version of SolidWorks you are using.
  5. Select your operating system.
  6. For current selected options, select the card or vendor that matches your system.
