We apply Godsil–McKay switching to the symplectic graphs over $$mathbb {F}_2$$F2 with at least 63 vertices and prove that the 2-rank of (the adjacency matrix of) the graph increases after switching. This shows that the switched graph is a new strongly regular graph with parameters $$(2^{2
u }-1, 2^{2
u -1}, 2^{2
u -2},2^{2
u -2})$$(22ν-1,22ν-1,22ν-2,22ν-2) and 2-rank $$2
u +2$$2ν+2 when $$
u ge 3$$ν≥3. For the symplectic graph on 63 vertices we investigate repeated switching by computer and find many new strongly regular graphs with the above parameters for $$
u =3$$ν=3 with various 2-ranks. Using these results and a recursive construction method for the symplectic graph from Hadamard matrices, we obtain several graphs with the above parameters, but different 2-ranks for every $$
u ge 3$$ν≥3.
