ParaVIew binaries don't ship with any OpenGL implementation. It uses
whatever OpenGL drivers setup on the machine it's being run. So long
as your environment is setup properly, ParaView will indeed use the
hardware available. However, not all rendering techniques in ParaView
will use the graphics card  -- as Armin alluded to. Your dataset seems
like small enough that volume rendering should be pretty
instantaneous. What is the "Volume Rendering Mode" on the Properties
panel set to? It should be "Smart" by default -- that will ensure that
the graphics card is used, if possible.
