Hi Armin,

Actually, the data size is 541x385x40 (x,y,z; float) ~8.3M grid points and i am using regular grid not unstructured. I will give a chance to wavelet source as you suggest to get feeling about the performance but i am still looking for an answer for my initial question. Is out of box ParaView binary could use full capability of hardware or not?

Thanks again,

I cannot directly answer your question, but there has been some discussion about slow volume rendering previously. Search the archive for a thread called "Hardware suggestions for volume rendering".

A quick summary:
The performance depends on the type of dataset you have, i.e. structured grids (even up to 70M grid points) will render decently fast on a single Nvidia Quadro K2100M GPU, but unstructured grids are very slow already for much smaller grids.

You can test this by using the wavelet source, which gives you a arability sized structured dataset.

Hi All,

My question could be very basic but how to be sure that Paraview uses
installed graphics card (in my case Nvidia K2000)? Do i need to install
Paraview from source (using Nvidia drivers) to use the full capability
of underlying hardware? I am asking because volume rendering seems
little bit slow when i try to use binary Paraview installation after
installing driver of the graphics card. I just want to be sure about it.

Regards,
