Does Multiple GPU work to empower the software ?

I recently change my GPU to a 1070ti and found out that it helped tremendously for the Refresh rate of charts. 1000MS chart goes to 50MS and less.
And I can load Multiple instances of those kinds of charts.

I also found out that, when the GPU gets max out, Then It destroys the CPU after. So as long as the GPU is not maxed out, MY CPU is very fine.

I also found out that, If I don't use the GPU, I can do so little compared to If I use it. ( even with 16 CPU CORES )

So with those 3 things, I found out about.

2 question comes into my mind.

Is the GPU scalability infinite?
and
What is the best way to use multiple GPUs with the software, meaning here, Do we only have to put them in the system, or do we have to SLI them.

Thanks in advance for your time guys!

Just had a picture.

As you can see in the picture, My CPU is at 80 % but that is only because I top my video card.

This is with my 1070ti and after the first-hour market peak.

I have 2 charts per instance that have 150ms, the rest are at 500 + ms

9 instances running with 12 charts each.

I just wonder how to get everything running so fast, like 100 ms for those 2 charts and around 200ms for the other charts

And I think multiple GPU will be the way. like 2 RTX 3080 or 4 GTX 1080ti

maybe look into a workstation video card

Does a workstation video card have more power for a Sierra chart than a Video game card?

I am not an expert on this the guys at sierra should be better to answer this

I would email them with specs and see what they recommend

From what I read , For the price , you will get more Power with consumer GPU. Pro gpu are more stable and have better drive for what NVIDIA work in tandem with ( i dont think its Sierra chart case here )

So Consumer GPU is still the best available options for the PRICE POWER ratio.

I just want to know how to get more Juice with dual or tripple card , As with my testing , It really make a difference when you are doing Very intense Study on multiple instance.

Like loading Point and figure chart , 4 chart of them + Tick charth with VbP x3 on 8 other charts + other crazy study. My cpu cant even run 2 instance of what im doing at market open , With my 1070ti , I can now run 9 instance but the refresh rate is still too low for my taste ( no choise for now ).

I will be able to push it much more when I will add more GPU horsepower. and bring all down to decent MS ( on 12 chart in 1 chartbook , i got only 2 of them at 150MS, the rest at 500 + ).

So If the Dev can just give us a little hint of the better way to make it work ! that can be AWESOME !!

Are multiple GPU's supported, or what's the best way maximize GPU use?
