Does anyone have any opinions on Intel Arc GPUs for Sierra Open GL support? *Edit - lots of anecdotal reports throughout web of early open GL driver issues for Intel Arc, so seems pointless considering Intel Arc vs Nvidia when max stability and compatibility with Sierra Charts is main objective. My Vega64 8GB crapped out yesterday, and I need a replacement asap. For the money (vs Nvidia) Intel Arc offer more vram and performance as well as better multi monitor support with 3dp + 1hdmi. Not interested in gaming, 90% Sierra Chart (10% Capture One & Davinci). Surprisingly, the Vega64 worked very well for Sierra Chart; it was much more responsive using Open GL. However, my emergency backup RX560 4 GB won't load my largest instance (lots of CB and Studies) if Open GL is enabled, but other smaller instances do load with Open GL enabled. Trying to decide: Buy a basic Quadro P1000 4GB for the recommended Nvidia Open GL support (and 4xDP), and hope the AMD driver/hardware architecture caused the larger instance to hang with Open GL enabled, not the lower 4GB VRAM. As Dorian recommends, disable open GL and work on improving CPU-core allocation, maybe upgrade CPU instead, and so on. (Therefore, keep the RX560 and cable adapter mess for now!) Intel Arc GPU 6-8GB Or Pay up and go Nvidia. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-02-02 12:02:40
