I have a new HP Envy Laptop (K0B71AV) with an I7-4712HQ Quad processor w/ 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M Graphics card running Windows 8.1/64.

Realview Graphics is not showing up.

If I go to my Display properties on my PC, it shows 2 cards... Intel HD Graphics 4600

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 850M

On the Solidworks Graphic Cards device support finder...it does not show the GTX 850M but does show the Intel P4600

Question one...Is there a difference in the Intel 4600 and the P4600? Second question...do I have to deactivate the NVIDIA GTX 850M to use the 4600?

Clearly...the GTX 850M is far superior to the INTEL 4600 on the processor.

Thanks in advance.

Paul

Unfortunately, your Realview issue is due to the fact that neither of your graphics cards are fully supported. The P4600 and 4600 are indeeed different. See here: HD 4600 vs. HD P4600. I don't think that you'll ever get it to work on that laptop but try enabling software OpenGL and see if that helps. Solidworks definitely requires workstation-type graphics.

I can't help you on #2, sorry.

Thanks John. It is most likely something that would be valuable... but not a show stopper.

In Solidworks Real View is activated only when you use an expensive industrial/proffesional graphic cards like Nvidia Quadro or Ati Firepro series. Because it is all about money you can not activate real view even if you have good gaming graphic card.

Thanks to RealHack as Greg Rupp mentioned above, saves as a lot of money.
