It appears to (only) add entries to the registry. Using process monitor, you can see what realhack does. Links to reference websites for RealHack are Ref1, Ref2, Ref3 Background If it doesn’t work, then there is not much you can do, but to research the references and find out more information. Note: This didn’t work for me previously on SolidWorks 2010. (google realhack rar download) ( local copy) The RealHack program worked perfectly for me with SolidWorks 2011 SP5 圆4 on 圆4 Windows. Another is to modify SolidWorks with a RealHack exe program (which edits the registry settings for SolidWorks). One is using RivaTuner to adjust your graphics card/drivers, saying your graphics card is actually a ATI FireGL or nVidia Quadro.

If you google, there are two main methods. Also, under Tools -> System Options -> Performance, “Use Software OpenGL” was unticked, as it should be, unless you have an onboard or very poor graphics card. As expected after installing and opening SolidWorks, the RealView graphics icon (View -> Display -> RealView) was greyed out. Gaming Graphics Card usedĪ while back, I got a Medion MD8855 computer in Aldi, which had an ATI Radeon™ HD 5670 graphics card with 1024 MB memory. In saying that, you can get a cheap RealView certified graphics card for ~€125. There are certified graphics cards recommended by SolidWorks (ATI FireGL and nVidia Quadro ranges) which have this RealView functionality, however they can be expensive (as they are specifically for CAD Applications, as opposed to Gaming). You get to see the materials and floor reflections in real-time, without having to render the model in PhotoView.

RealView Graphics in SolidWorks (View drop-down -> Display -> RealView Graphics) makes your models look visually impressive on the screen.
