Hi,

Solidworks was acting a little buggy this morning working on a larger assembly drawing so figured I'd check the driver to see if windows pushed a update or something like that.

Well no update currently:

431.29 is my current driver

So clicked the link took me to the Solidworks page and I enter in a Dell 7540 2019 Solidworks and the video card and it gives me another link to the NVIDIA site, and list tested R440 U4 441.66 when I look up under Quadro I don"t get the R440 U4 441.66:

if I look up RTX 4000 I get the R440 U4 441.66: (did this for the hell of it)

So do I load this one or is there one or should I be loading from the RTX3000 list and if so which one?

Regards,

No one else has this question

Your problem probably got nothing to do with video card driver.

I always use latest driver from nVidia.

Full disclosure, I'm relatively new to Solidworks, but I was an IT support professional for the past 2 years.

If you want to try that NVIDIA driver, I think I found the one you were looking for on their website. It lists the RTX 3000 under the Supported Products Tab>Quadro RTX Series (Notebooks)

NVIDIA DRIVERS Quadro Desktop/Quadro Notebook Driver Release 440 WHQL

I would also recommend going to Dell's support site and checking for other driver updates as another starting point for figuring out what could be going on with Solidworks.

Hope this helps.
