Dear All,  
I am building ParaView 5.13.1, and the building process is successful, and I have a question that the OpenGL Vendor in Help-\>About is Intel, but I have also installed ParaView from official release msi file, and its OpenGL Vendor is Nvidia, I am thinking if I lose some options in cmake configure process, can anyone help me with this problem？  
Thanks all

Are you using Windows ?

You may want to make sure your GPU is used in your nvidia settings.
