Interesting, I hadn't heard of this problem. I don't have an intel
card that reproduces this, but if the new version has the same issue
with FXAA and I can find hardware to debug it I'll be happy to take a
look.

I have seen the same thing on my PC with an NVIDIA card and Intel
integrated GPU. Obviously, FXAA isn't working with some Intel
integrated GPUs. I, too, had to specifically enable my NVIDIA card.
But that's what ParaView should ideally be using anyway.

ParaView 5.4.0 RC-2 has some improvements to ParaView's Qt widget for
rendering that *may* improve the situation. That should be out later
today (US east coast time) or tomorrow.

Ah, I haven't seen that option. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks,
Cory

Re: [Paraview] [Paraview-developers] ParaView 5.4.0 Release Candidate 1 binaries are available for download

[Deij-van Rijswijk, Menno]

Hi Cory,

TL;DR: I have to manually configure that the high-performance NVidia card is 
used for ParaView to get rid of problems with the FXAA option.

I notice here that the default-ON option of FXAA is giving problems. When 
enabled, there is at the beginning a smaller black rectangle in the render view 
where the axes widget should be. When a 3D geometry is loaded and Apply is 
clicked, the view becomes totally black. Disabling FXAA will show the geometry 
without having to restart ParaView.

I have a laptop with an NVidia 840M and an integrated GPU (Intel HD 5500). I 
have to manually enable the NVidia card for ParaView to get rid of this 
behaviour, so it looks like the Intel card is at fault.

Interestingly, when the NVidia card is active I can also enable/disable an FXAA 
option in the NVidia control panel. When I enable it, the screen looks totally 
wrong, as if everything (menus, buttons, etc.) is anti-aliased.

Best wishes,


Menno Deij - van Rijswijk
