How do I see what my hardware and drivers being used are?

by  SBaugh  Posted    (Edited  )
1) Start\Run
2) Type "dxdiag"
3) Click "OK"
4) If it askes you to go through your hardware etc... Answer "Yes"
5) You can click on the display tab and it will list your video card and the drivers being used.

See below for Example

The other way is through SW RX which was a new feature added in SW05.

Default Location is - Start\Programs\Solidworks [version]\Solidworks Tools\Solidworks RX
