[Paraview] Paraview display issue on Windows

[Cory Quammen]

Junxi,

Does your system also have an Intel video chip that it may be using? If so,
ParaView may not be using your NVIDIA driver. You can check by going to the
Help -> About ParaView menu item. What do the Open GL entries say?

To ensure ParaView is using your NVIDIA card, you can try going to the
NVIDIA control panel. Under 3D Settings in the panel on the left, click on
"Manage 3D settings". On the right side, click on the "Global Settings"
tab. Make sure "High-performance NVIDIA processor" is selected. Apply the
changes, then run ParaView again to see if the problem is resolved.

Hope that helps,
Cory
