Graphics Cards

[tinkerz]

Hi,

Has anyone got any tips on setting up a graphic's card.

Most of the CPU resources seem to be spent on charting, at least on my PC anyway, Ninja trader CPU is showing less than 1% when my charts are minimized but 10% when maximized.

So any tips on helping the graphics card process better would be great,
Ie bios settings, hardware acceleration on or off, NT is 2D not 3D so how to maximize the card for that.

I noticed a performance increase when hardware acceleration was set to zero. thats why i posting, not complaining. just looking for extra

Thanks

I am not asking for specifications, I am saying graphics take alot of CPU, notice the increase when you minimize and maximize the charts, so graphics card setting in the bios and windows is important for those running volume indicators

I am not a general computer expert so therefor I would not know the answer to your question. This would be more of a question for an IT Professional or if other users on the forums may have recommendations.

Please see our performance tips for NinjaTrader however:
