Issues with solidworks and KVM GPU Passthrough

So, I have enabled GPU passthrough, following this guide: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/virtualization/html/book-virtualization/app-gpu-passthru.html

When I run my windows 11 guest, it recognizes my GPU as a Nvidia Quadro P2000. When I run the passmark performance test, it will also find my gpu.

However, when I run the Solidworks RX 2026 software, it says it is a GDI Generic, with the current driver R580. Is there still some setting I am still missing? Why does it not recognize my gpu? I still cannot run hardware accelerated graphics with Solidworks 2026 maker edition.
