Just sharing what I did to get OpenGL to work and I think it was worth the effort at least for me. OpenGL speeds up Sierra Chart significantly for me. I use Volume Profile charts. I was using a AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200 and I switched over to a Nvidia Quandro K1200 (used card off of ebay) and this fixed everything and it works perfectly. The flickering issue I had is completely gone. I spent some time researching this issue since i really wanted OpenGL to work and to my understanding AMD doesn't support OpenGL very well and they basically have "bugs" inherently built into their drivers when it comes to OpenGL. OpenGL is a open source software. The only way around this is the developer needs to write code for these issues which seems to be a pain in the butt. Nvidia support OpenGL much better and addressed these OpenGL issues with their drivers so OpenGL just works out of the box. This is just my guess but end result I just could not get my AMD graphics card to work and after switching to Nvidia, it works very well.
