I run the software 3x, so that I have real-time information on all the graphics, this draws around 4 GHz on 2 software and 3 GHz on the last one. So you must favor the K version of the Intel processor and overclock the processor with the Intel XTU software.

It is impossible to determine the true Passmark score, because some motherboards overclock the base frequency of all cores to the same turbo frequency (like ASUS Z590/Z690/Z790 STRIX or TUF series), and some people use very basic coolers that restrict the processor. I tested an i7-11700K, a W5-2465X, an i7-13700K. Sierra Chart always runs well with these processors, so you have to base yourself on the power of an 11700K and always take version K or X (for Xeon). Install Intel XTU to overclock all cores easily. You can also overclock the cores with any tool offered by ASUS in the STRIX or TUF version.
But I noticed that the Single Thread score is indeed the real score to look at, because the test software will run a single core at full capacity, that is to say that even a crappy cooler will be enough for this test, so this reflects reality well.
So to close the debate, a processor with a Single Thread score greater than 3500 will perform well for Sierra Chart with complex Studies.

I have a basic graphics card (nVIDIA Quadro P600), it works well.

The PCs offered do not have a processor with the K version, so it is not good.

Have you tested OpenGL with a higher end NVidia graphics card? That provided the biggest performance boost I have seen in SC, seemed more relevant than CPU to me. What was your experience with this?

Is it definitive that even a 3 generation old 11700k because it's unlocked will perform better than a 13700f, which has a 25% higher single thread rating?
