Hello I’m having a recuring problem with how my displays look in Rhino 8. A few times over the past year I will open up rhino and everything looks grey when in Shaded mode like in the two displays on the right of the screen. Additionally the Ghosted mode will often flash all of the rainbow colors as I move around in the viewport, I’ve recently updated my Graphics software, which temporarily fixed the problem but it has reverted again and I’m not sure how to trouble shoot this again. What I have tried so far: I have all my displays reset to Default, and tried adjusting the colors but nothing has worked. I’m at a loss for what to do, any and all help would be much appreciated!
Hello @Mars1
Pls run _SystemInfo in Rhino and post back the results.

Your rtx is not being used for Rhino
See Soooo, you bought a laptop with hybrid graphics and rhino doesn't run right. READ THIS
I’d do a clean install of your nvidia driver-
install using the custom/advanced option and click the “clean install” checkbox
restart and look at tools>options>view>open gl and insure rhino is seeing your nvidia
