Anyone using a high end PC and still experiences slowness with TWS

roca · Dec 18, 2020

Hey,

I am looking to upgrade my PC to an intel i7-10700k as I am currently using i7-4820k and TWS is slow. I would like to know if anyone is using a good PC and still experiences slowness in TWS.

If that is the case, then I will save money and no need to upgrade my PC.

Thanks

Initial loading is slow. What part do you find slow?

When you say initial loading you mean when you first open TWS? No other issues?

I find everything slow.

When I first open TWS, the charts loading, switching from ticker to ticker, when the market opens it takes time to switch from ticker to ticker its like it pauses....

You can designate more ram to TWS.

No, I have an i5 16gb of ram, wifi 75mb. What server are you connected to?

if you mean Region its America. But I am using 4 monitors and running 24 charts so maybe that's why. I am also using cable

They have a server in Chicago as well as Connecticut. You could try connecting to that.

I have an I7 4790 overclocked at 4.6 and I find TWS is a bit slow to load but this is pretty much normal . If you are going to upgrade spend the extra money and get an I9 .
