Regarding OpenGL: My situation is: I have 2 instances with one chart in each of them. 3rd instance is just t get the data. I have market depth historical graph on both of the charts, some bid/ask volume, VBP study and number bars. So I don't run hundreds of charts with extremely complex studies... OpenGL not active. My problem was scrolling back and forth the charts - they were lagging a lot. I was surprised by that! I noticed one of my cores goes to 80-90% at that time and charts were still lagging! I thought having a relatively strong CPU (Ryzen 3700x) for such a small number of charts I do would be more than enough. Well I was wrong. I just activated OpenGL and I have to say this made for me a huge difference. Bigger than switching to dedicated NVMe disk for SC. Even with my cheap Nvidia NVS 510 card everything runs fast, smoothly and its very responsive. After reading first post of this thread I was more CPU oriented. After my tries and researches I have to say that not having OpenGL enabled its a mistake - at least in my situation.
