Between 5900x and 5700X3D (maybe 5800X3d), does anyone know which is best for Sierra Chart? Currently running two separate instances, many chartbooks, indicators, and alerts. I followed optimisation support pages, and my 3600X sings along just fine; SC is very smooth and happy indeed. Boost 4.4Ghz and Base 3.8Ghz I want to add more charts and studies, maybe a third instance, and at the same time, make one last CPU upgrade to my AM4 platform. Does the X3d cache benefit Sierra in any way? Or perhaps negatively, with lower clock speeds under all core load. Puget tested 5800X vs 5800X3d and found 3d cache version worse for a lot of content creation tasks: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/amd-ryzen-5800x3d-vs-5800x-for-content-creation-2331/?srsltid=AfmBOoq9YwUotX7VfN9zj-0XFeZv28C1Ehhz9nY2sFKNHvIVQ6xX1x0D 5900X is 12 core 24thread 105w TDP Boost 4.8Ghz Base 3.7Ghz L3 Cache 64mb (but I think shared between two halves) 5700X3d 8 core, 16thread 105TDP Boost 4.1CHz Base 3 Ghz L3 3d-V cache - 96MB (32MB 2D cache plus 64MB 3D V-Cache) |

I just came across your thread. I was wondering if you ever went down the X3D-route, and if yes, if there was a performance benefit.

I ended up getting a great deal on a 5800 XT, with the benefit of selling the fancy cooler it came with. I run with disabled hyperthreading, stock everything else, use Process Lasso to allocate 2 cores per instance, and run 3 separate SC installs. Still on Windows 10; telemetry disabled as much as possible. Old B350 motherboard with B-die memory and tight timings. Big CPU cooler. Rock solid, runs cool and very quiet, few and fair between Windows updates, really pleased, not looking forward to October when Windows 10 support stops. Haven't needed to touch or tweak for over 6 months, forgot everything now anyway. Hoping SC Linux ready before Windows 10 goes. |

Mike, thank you for your reply. Reading about your current setup, I will likely stick with my old platform which has been fine so far. Only problem is I want to run 3 instances of SC, and my 5600G has only 6 cores, so I cannot allocate 2 per instance. I probably will not allocate any cores and see how it goes (I am running some heavier custom studies). In any case, upon finding another post of yours (and the one from Dorian) I have just ordered a used Quatro P2200 :-) Thanks again. |
