This is with (8.6.24101.5001, 2024-04-10), SysInfo see below.
In the Top viewport I get this:

No AA!

Rendered gives me a black viewport.
When I select something in e.g. Top, I get this:

No AA as well.

But in the options AA is checked:

I might update the driver - IIRC, some NVidia drivers from 2023 are not good…

3

While I had no problems with the former driver, I updated the driver now.

Then I recorded this video:

Have you tried resetting your Rendered display mode back to default?

5

It’s strange, when I change the Antialiasing level, I get a not that I need to restart Rhino for the changes to take effect. In your video I don’t see that.

I am on Rhino 8.5.24072.13001

correction: sorry, just noticed you were changing the Antialiasing, not the level. My bad.

No, because Rhino was fresh after _Reset.
Now I have reset Rendered.

No change.

Hi Charles -

Make sure to try a clean install of the drivers, not just update them.
-wim

8

Done.
Same as before.

9

I didn’t give up…

The clean install didn’t help.

Instead of a clean install only I first removed the graphics adapter in device manager.
Reboot.
And then the clean install.

Now Rendered etc. works again.
