[vtkusers] Is -DVTK_RENDERING_BACKEND=OpenGL needed for Haswell with 7.0.0?

Hi all,

I'm about to try a compile of VTK 7.0.0 release on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial).

The machine where I need this to run has a Haswell Intel graphics chip
(Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400), which supports the OpenGL 3.3 profile. Will
the new OpenGL backend (the version in 7.0.0) support this graphics card,
or will I need to use the old backend with -DVTK_RENDERING_BACKEND=OpenGL?

I read that support for is for Ivy Bridge and later in 7.0.0, so I think I
should be OK right?

Thanks in advance,
Elvis
