[vtk-developers] Rendering of vtkPolyData broken on Nvidia systems

[Berk Geveci]

NVIDIA committed to not remove any features from their drivers in the past.
See:

http://www.slideshare.net/Mark_Kilgard/opengl-32-and-more

See Slide 36.

So can this be some sort of regression in this version of the driver?
