OK. What version of solidworks?

Professional 2015 SP3
Just in case - you did select the "Real View Graphics" option in the pull down menu :->
Do you have a hybrid dedicated graphics card and integrated graphics card system? My HP Zbook 15 has that setup, only with Nvidia graphics, so I'm not sure that is applicable. In order for real view to work for me, I had to switch the graphics settings to use the dedicated video card all the time. Is there an ATI version of the following screen:
There may be a way to disable the integrated video card in the BIOS settings as well, but I didn't need to do that to get real view to work. Good luck.
Are you in an assembly with 'Large Assembly Mode' activated?
Make sure in your tools:options settings under performance that you do not have the "Use software OpenGL" setting checked.
Casey is right, this is the correct advice. I had a similar issue with the same graphics card. This checkbox fixed it...
I am guessing that your computer will have switchable graphics. I would suggest creating a profile for Solidworks in the 3D application settings section of the AMD catalyst control centre. And also set the power management so that solidworks is always set to 'high performance' which forces the computer to use the AMD card over the integrated Intel graphics. Doing this should mean that you don't have to keep unchecking the 'Use software OpenGL' checkbox...
How to do?
What are you asking? How to turn off the OpenGL setting or what John said?
I mean how to set force to use AMD FIrepro always, like use "Run" or "CMD" whatever, because my BIOS can switch the both graphic card. and my AMD catalyst control centre setting use it for solidworks, but realview don't proper working.
John Borrowdale will have to answer this, I have never used the AMD cards, we have always used nVidia cards here.
I cant see it listed anywhere? Do you mean a W6100?
