Hi.
Wondered if anyone here has experience of build configurations for Ninjatrader.
As I understand it, high speed cpu, but not necessarily usage of multi core, gpu for multi monitor support, but nt8 annoyingly doesn’t make huge use of gpu hardware acceleration only directx.
I guess any hardware bottleneck re hdd/ssd and RAM could be removed.
Thought I’d see if anyone has done this here before.

Thanks for creating a spec thread!

Please be sure to include answers to the following questions so people can assist you quicker.

  • What is the purpose of your PC/laptop? (e.g. gaming, general work, 3D rendering)
  • What monitor resolution will you be using? (e.g. 1080p, 1440p, 4k)
  • What is your budget including currency symbol? (e.g. £2,000, 1000€)
  • Is this budget just for the PC or do you need peripherals as well? (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard etc.)
  • Which country are you purchasing from? (Note that we only operate in the UK and Europe)

I think you've gone WAY over board with that spec

#

Yes, a fast CPU is important, and more memory is good. But a workstation GPU, no

#

And I'd be looking at a DDR5 based platform, not DDR4

Just to answer the bot questions:

  • Primary use is NT8/Ninjatrader. Ill keep my current pc for the rest, office, outlook etc.
  • 4 DP monitors circa 3440x1440 (curently use 1 x 3440x1440 and 3 x 1920x1080)
  • budget depends on value, but circa £2000-3000
  • May buy 4 new 34' monitors, dont need to be great spec for gaming

Im replacing:
CPU: 1st CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4
GPU: Nvidia Quadro M4000
SSD: Crucial MX500 1TB
RAM: 128 GB Samsung M393A4K40BB1-CRC 4x31.8GB
MBD: Dell Precision Tower 7810

Well an Arrow Lake CPU or Ryzen 9000 series CPU would def outperform that Xeon.

4070 or 50 series equivalent would do the job fine. Again, you probably don’t need high fps, just smooth graphs
