Very bad shadow effect on solidworks

Very bad shadow effect on solidworks

My PC specs are:

- Processor: Intel Core i7

- RAM: 32 GB @ 3600 MHz

- GPU: NVIDIA T2000 4 GB

SOLIDWORKS is definitely running on the NVIDIA GPU. All the graphics settings are set to High, anti-aliasing is enabled, and I have gone through pretty much every graphics-related setting I can find. However, the shadows still look like this.

What confuses me is that I didn't have this shadow issue before. My previous PC was an HP OMEN with an i7, 16 GB RAM, and a GTX 1050 Ti, and the shadows looked perfectly fine there.

The major difference I can think of is the display. The old OMEN had a 4K display, while my current workstation is connected to a 1080p display.

So what setting am I missing? Is there something specific in SOLIDWORKS that controls shadow quality or shadow resolution? Could the 1080p display be causing this, or is there another graphics setting/driver option I need to change?

What am I doing wrong here?
