Ive been down the rabbit hole a fair bit with GPUs etc for Sierra chart. I had a 1080ti 8gb and it was running great with an i7 10900k. When I went to upgrade, I got an i9 12900k and wanted to not get a gaming GPU just cause they are ment to be the best. So I talked to a guy that builds all the systems for the top trading systems hardware shop in the states. He is the guy that actually buiuds the full case of gear and bench tests it with the chosen software before it goes out. So he has THE BEST insight into what works best for TOS, Sierra Chart, CQG, Ninja trader etc. He told me a 2080 or 3080 would be over kill for SC. Its more of a CPU demand software. Well, I had already bought a 3080 GPU and it has been running great for the last 18 months. i9 12900k. I get up to about 5.5hz on the cpu. Usually I average 10% CPU useage, about 50% on initial loading of 2 chartbooks, total 70 charts. Nividia 3080 12GB - rarely goes over 50% 34gb DDR5 ram 2X1TB NVME HARD DRIVES- SC runs on one partition. I have been thinking about a quadro GPU but I just dont see how much performance gain Im going to get. I will be upgrading to the i9 12900ks with 32GB DDR6 6000hz as I need the 12900k for a 2nd PC. Hope this helps. |
