Quick update: AMD released the 22.Q3 driver last week and HOLY FPS BATMAN! It has completely supercharged my Radeon Pro W6800 in Solidworks 2021. I am seeing framerates 3x-4x higher than any of the previous drivers. I am also running into far fewer graphical glitches than I have in the past. I highl...

Thanks SPerman! I should have checked there. That is one less potential headache in my future

I unfortunately don't have access to simulation installed anywhere, so can't speak on it. Just in case it is still helpful, I've attached the Radeon and Solidworks graphics settings I've found work best for me in vanilla Solidworks. The big ones in Solidworks where turning draft quality ambient occl...

Is anyone else using the new AMD Radeon Pro W6800 yet on SolidWorks 2021? It has 32GB of GPU memory for that hungry graphics "performance" pipeline! I've been running it for a few months now. One of these days I will learn my lesson and stop living on the bleeding edge. It had a pretty bad...
