Hello,

I use the newest version of paraview for visualisation of data from openLB but after a few minutes the software crashes. I tried it out several times.

I suppose that the problem is in my graphics card because my PC has not bad performance:

Do you think that the improvement in my GPU would solve the problem or I need also better other components like CPU ot RAM memory to run the Paraview? In that case which GPU would you recommend?

Thank you for your help.

Welcome to ParaView!

Your GPU is rather old and appears to have very limited memory (128 MB). It could be running out of memory and causing ParaView to crash. Upgrading your GPU would definitely help.
