To get the best graphics performance out of your computer when running SOLIDWORKS, it’s important to configure your system’s graphics settings. By default, Windows often assigns SOLIDWORKS to use the power-saving Intel integrated graphics rather than the high-performance GPU (such as NVIDIA or AMD). This can cause slower performance, lag, or display glitches.
