Hello
I have Paraview 5.10 installed on Ubuntu 20.04. The workstation has two AMD Radeon VII cards. However, when I am running it appears that the cards are not utilised and the RAM usage shoots up.
How can make the best use of my resources?

You are already using your GPU.
I do not feel the power of GPU. My computer freezes just when I load a 4GB unstructured dataset.
Sounds like RAM issue, not GPU issue. Monitor your memory.
I notice that Paraview is using as much as 33 GB of memory (64 GB in total) before the system freezes. Paraview defaults to ‘surface’ representation even after I tried to set ‘Outline’ as default.
radeontop output suggests that the GPUs are idle.
please share your dataset.
