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.
