Hello I plan to buy a notebook. I use 1 external monitor. Actually only 2 felxible grids are running. Since I trade only one product, I let display chart with several timeframes. 7-8750u CPU should be enough. Right? I'm not sure about the GPU. For instance, a nVidia MX110 is ok? I see everywhere those GTX1050 gaming GPUs. Do I need that additional performance? I asked TOS, but all they say, a dedicated GPU is fine. Thank you.
Thank you Robert. What do you think about the GPU? There is a offer from Asus. It looks very decent. The GPU is a MX110. That might be weak part of it.
I would say that any internal card that moves Video calculation away from the CPU is better than using the CPU.
You don't need a video card for trading platforms unless you need more than 2 or 3 monitors. Modern GPUs can easily handle the small work load of trading platforms, in fact you could stream HD movies at the same time & you shouldn't have any problems. External video cards are needed for gamers, CAD, & video editing. https://uk.pcmag.com/graphic-cards/90606/the-best-graphics-cards
I would buy something like AMD Ryzen 3000 when they will come out with something like 32GB of ram to be very very sure about everything you did here for many people. I do not understand the logic behind that 1050 NVIDIA, but they are for gaming.
I can't speak for other platforms. But TOS is definitely benefiting from the nVidia 1050 card. TOS Support even suggests to add a line in the config file which forces TOS to use the dedicated graphic card. I tested my setup running only on CPU and CPU / nVidia GPU. The latter runs a lot more smooth particular with many studies and elevated volatility. Temperature is lower. So, I'm happy with the Asus notebook, even I don't play games. @Robert Morse got it right.
