Prerelease version 1947 of Sierra Chart has support for OpenGL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL The basic objective of OpenGL is to transfer the rendering of graphics from the CPU to the GPU to reduce CPU usage. The greatest reduction in CPU usage is going to come from systems that have a capable and fast GPU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit This option can be enabled through Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other. Once you enable the option for OpenGL, a restart of Sierra Chart is needed and Sierra Chart stays in that mode until the option is disabled and is restarted again. OpenGL support is very much a beta. There can be stability and rendering issues. For example, the Chart Values tool does not function properly. OpenGL does not have support for text so we had to create an alternative to do text. So text is not necessarily going to render in a way you might like. Once again this is considered a beta and problems can be expected. We do not recommend using OpenGL during live trading. Report any issues in this thread but we will not necessarily respond. There is no need to go into extensive detail. And if it issue has been reported, then do not report it again. We do not want to be flooded with all kinds of issues. And once again we will not necessarily respond. If you are using Linux and you have problems, then please at this time do not post those issues here. Our first objective is to have stability on Windows.
