Dear SC Support team,

I am buying a new laptop and I am an future day trader and opening many charts for difference instruments.

Intel 11th Generation i7/i9 vs AMD Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9?

Do I need a dedicated Graphic Cards like RTX 3060 or Integrated Graphic is ok?

Thx.

Best wishes,

FC

No comments from us on Intel v AMD.

But when it comes to graphics cards, the nVidia cards have the best support for the OpenGL that we use.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

John,

Not to hijack this thread, but I assume that a "workstation" graphics card is more appropriate for SC then a "gaming" card?

Thanks!

Again, we really can not comment. What we can tell you is that we have an option to use OpenGL for our graphics (and only our graphics at this time). You would need to look at the processing specifications for OpenGL Graphics to determine What card would work best. Although a bit techie, the following is where you can look at the OpenGL Specifications:

In same boat here, any users tested these differences between Intel vs AMD in CPU's in latest gen laptops for SC use?
