Hi everyone, I apologize for my stupidity when it comes to computers in advance.
I've started to notice that when I have too many charts up it delays the refreshing of numbers on my depth of market. If I close all charts and just have the DOM up the numbers refresh and change much faster.
I was curious whether adding an additional graphics card would speed this refreshing up while I had the charts open.
I'm currently running 4 monitors in one graphics card and thought that could be the issue. If my computer components are needed for this sort of question please tell me so I can find and list them.
I'm using sierra charts if that helps as well.
Thank you very much in advance
computer:
8gb ram
windows 10
x64 based pc
amd 8 core processor
amd R9 200 series
platform installed on SSD drive
8 Gb might be a bit tight... i have a machine with 128 Gb and a machine with 32gb
at least those machines are not swapping..
right now the one with 32Gb has 16.6gb used,
so with 8gb, at least 8.6 would be in a swap file
it is important to understand where is the bottle neck
in my setup i had to solve many different issues
- true multi-threading
- bulk update to DB rather than record by record
etc..
you can also have a super 20core machine with a lousy written indicator and
crash the machine...
So you're thinking I should try to add more ram?
My problem is honestly not the end of the world, but as I'm watching order flow I'd prefer to have the numbers refreshing faster so I can read it better.
For reference, I have 6 charts, 2 DOMs and 2 time and sales windows up and it is noticibly different when I only have 1 DOM open
