FHD is 1080. I'm running a ryzan 9 with 32Gb RAM and only use 20% of both cpu and RAM. Its the 4K that was an issue for me. I run a lot of order flow indicators but without tick replay ticked so no historical data when I first load ninja. I open charts the night before and dont refresh them. ninja doesnt support 4k.

That is exactly the same as my system right now. I saw a deal on the 4K monitors and thought 'great idea'. Then found out Ninja didn't support them. Also a Ryzen 9. So THAT is my exact issue. What changed for me and not you?

Not sure Ninja issue...
I have 2x 4 K monitor, and works very well.
Intel i7-9700, W11, AMD RX5600xt

I am using 4K monitors with NT since 2015. Now I am using four 4K (AOC U3277PWQU) monitors with no problem at all.

I've had the problems with lagging described in this thread and have already commented on it in this thread, in my journal and in other threads.

Only thing I can think of is the refresh rate of the monitor if what we have is really a latency because of the display.

As a follow up, I have been studying Footprint charts for quite some time and this is basically the 'indicator' for me that something is not right with the data. Until 2 months ago, my Footprint charts (set to Bid/Ask) would print with price executions on both sides of the bar. Logical. Since whatever changed with the data, they only print all Reds on one side or all Blues on the other. Sometimes all I get are zeros on both sides. Clearly this is impossible to have 0 trades for 5 minutes or whatever on the ES. Makes no diff if I trade with a real account or SIM, the charts/info I am getting is 'off'.

I also use the foot-print chart included with NT8 (Volumetric chart). I noticed this week on a small sell off all 0 elements for both sides of the bar. Doesn't seem logical.
What does "strength sensitivity" control on the Volumetric Chart?

Thanks for the inputs guys. I am in a bit of a rush right now but will look at things later. What jumps out at me is the many different opportunities there are for latency in the system. Since mine started about 2 months ago, now I am thinking to roll back a driver update. But lots to look at.

I'll keep you posted.

Again, thanks much for the ideas.

Done quite a few things today including downloading/installing the NVidiaPrifileInspectorDmW and watched a video on it for quite a few adjustments.
Then I went on a bit of a quest to change the Resize-Bar in the BIOS. Again it was more than a few steps and tests to make sure I got it right but all seems good/better now.

Had to make sure BIOS was updated, the GPU was Updated, and then there was the different names in different settings to work around.

So the good news/bad news is that I can load a Footprint chart now with Tick Replay selected in about 10 seconds whereas for the past few months, I couldn't get one to load at all. So am thinking that when the market is open and Tick Replay isn't selected that things 'should' run smoother.

But for some reason, the fans are screaming a bit at me now whereas before this, I couldn't ever hear them so ... we'll see.

Again, many thanks all
I'll let you how it goes.

Nope. That was a lot of work to see same result on the Footprint charts. I am getting all zeros on one side of the bars and buying or selling numbers on the other but no mix on the open.

Man!

All this head scratching and expensive hardware trying to get this software to run smoothly.

It's a hard decision for me personally, but I'm considering finally moving on from Ninjatrader. I have a lifetime license and multiple custom indicators, but with some lagging issues lately, seeing how poor NT is to implement customer requests AND also very importantly the lack of an electronic portal to track account activity/performance, I'm think it might be time to move on...
