After my evaluation The power of a GTX 1650 4GB is perfect for this software. ( with openGL enable ) The core requirement per instance goes with the amount of different Symbol you are viewing at the same time. ( don't know perfectly here but I know that If I only have 1 Symbol on the chartbook it require way less CPU power than multiple symbol , and that is even more truth if one of your chart require some intense loading Studies ) Another point is that it looks like 1 core per Sub instance is good enough . When I put 3+ core , I always get 1 core max out and the other core a 40% max. 2 core seems just fine too. I put all my trading program on the last 8 core of my CPU , looks like windows love to utilize the first 4 core of the CPU. Edit I add another sub instance A full SPY chartbook with 2 TPO chart 1 Number Bar Chart full load and 4 other chart with lots of indicators and put it on 1 core , I have just found the way to adjust my Computer ! to see what utilize the core of the picture. core 15 - Interactive Broker TWS - This program take a lot of resources ! 7 X 1 core for Sierra chart. Trade Idea on all core. My computer have Hyperthreading off. Another EDIT. I just add another picture , this time with Hyperthreading on. I assign 2 core to each main program with above normal priority. core 15 and 31 - Interactive Broker TWS the next 7 core with their respective Hyperthread ( ex : 14 and 30 ) for Sierra chart main 1 X and 6 Sub instance. Trade Idea on all core and the rest of my program on all core. Like I said , I start on the last core of the CPU because windows seems to get his action the the first 4 core. The picture is when i am Downloading 1 new Big symbol on every sub instance except the main ( no chart ) and 1 sub that is on another Virtual desktop. I can say , that Hyperthreading on AMD is really useful for the CPU load. I don't know about latency but for my trading , it does not matter that much. And My fastest Refresh rate of 1 chart is 150MS on the 1s chart. Ill try to go faster but first I am looking for a stable setup. Just add another picture with no Trading program Open , just chrome, some small program and youtube on. ( by looking at the picture , seems like windows is using the first 4 and the Last 2 thread. If we go by deduction, the first 4 are Real core and the last 2 are HyperThread.) Edit again In live market data, I put 2 real core + 2 hyperthread to the main instance , it needed it as 1 core was at 80% Edit I have experiment a little bit and to put 2 core + 2 Hyperthread on each instance had the best result. From what I have check , on how windows behave and sierra chart behave. It always max out the first real core and the last HyperThread Core then its going to the next. So , 0-3 and 27-31 , I leave them open for windows, chrome, trade idea, youtube and all the other stuff im doing while trading. Then I assign 2 core + 2 hyperthread to each instance. The main have 2 dedicated core but my sub Share their second core 2 sub for 1 second core. Main instance core number 4-5 + 25-26 Sub instance 1 core 6-15 + 24-16 Sub instance 2 core 7-15 + 23-17 Sub instance 3 core 8-14 + 22-18 Ill try today if its good , but it seems like it perform very well at the moment. I am trying to figure out what is the best Processor , computer to get. As I want to upgrade to a laptop in the future. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-02-26 11:54:15
