[Paraview] Slow Rendering with nVidea Quadro [PV 310]

[Milan Frank]

Is your data set fully opaque or semi transparent?

To my experience, ParaView (since certain version) is using depth
peeling algorithm to produce nice results for semi transparent
objects. It is supported on some cards only (including nVidia).
Unfortunately, the framerate is significantly lower.
