[Paraview] Paraview display issue on Windows

[Zhu Junxi]

Hello Cory,

Thank you for such a quick reply. I checked the OpenGL entries and it is
indeed using the NVIDIA video card. The OpenGL renderer is listed as
GeForce GTX1080/PCIe/SSE2. I search online and although people say my
i7-6700k processor has a built-in 530 graphics card, I do not see it in the
device manager somehow......

I have also tried the NVIDIA control panel. I did not find the High
performance NVIDIA processer you mentioned in the global settings, but I
did change the OpenGL renderer to GTX1080. However, Paraview still cannot
display correctly after applying the changes (so does the 3D Slicer). I am
wondering if you need any system logs to diagnose this issue and I would be
happy to provide them.

Best,
Junxi
