Using Solidworks Visualize Standard 2025 as part of a Professional installation on my home machine, which I built myself. Everything runs fine, except for trying to use AMD prorender in Visualize. It results in an all-black model. When I run in preview mode, I can see the model just fine, but turning on “accurate” in the viewport or rendering to a file results in the all-black output unless I choose “preview” in the renderer selection.
I am aware that my graphics card is unsupported. I am also aware that this card kind of sucks. Using Visualize is less than 1% of my work, and I also use this machine for gaming and personal projects. It just seems like a shame that I can’t get high-quality renderings when every other aspect of SolidWorks behaves perfectly fine.
Is there a workaround for this? I’m aware of the registry hack to enable RealView in Solidworks. Hopefully there’s some way to get my card working with Visualize, too. If not, I’m open to returning the card for something that rips through games and also works with Visualize.
