This is probably intended behavior. What is the setting of the "Client Collect" slider on the "Options"||"Preferences"->"Render View"->"Server"->"Tile Display Parameters" tab of the Options panel? Unless its checkbox is unchecked, ParaView either decimates the geometry before sending it to the client or if larger than the threshold, sends only bounding boxes. The reasoning being that if the rendered geometry is big enough to require a tiled display to show, a single GPU on the client is unlikely to be able to handle it a full resolution.
