Hello, I ran into some minor complications, solidworks appears to be rendering my weldment profiles rather strangely. They are represented the way you see on the picture, with darker and lighter portions being displayed depending on the position to screen. PC has only integrated graphics card, but framerate is decent (30 to 60+). Am I overlooking some setting?
Curvature Generation - Level of Detail is crazy high for an integrated video card - slide that all the way to the right
it was originally to the right, but I was tweaking around trying to repair the problem and I left it on the left. It causes no visible changes for me, positive or negative.

Gotcha - That was a good way to test, Thanks for the update!
tools - options - drawings - display style - edge quality for shaded edge views - high
is the path in solidworks 2017 I think, didnt find your path
didnt solve the problem though
My guess would be either that your graphic card driver is out of date or not compatible with SolidWorks or that your graphic card is just too weak to render shadows and whatnot. You can run SolidWorks RX and it should tell you if your graphic card is or not compatible.
If the graphic card is too weak, perhaps you can try turning off shadows and whatever setting that isn't necessary.
I'd still wait to get input from someone who has a better idea of what else could cause this.
