[Paraview] Maximize ParaView across 3 monitors; NVIDIA

[Aashish Chaudhary]

Hi David,

I have heard that GTK 590 supports up to three monitors.

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-590/features

There is an alternative via X extensions (with second GPU), it seemed to
work for us couple of years ago but I am not sure the current status of it.

Thanks,
