My old system is on it’s last leg and I need to put it out to pasture.

I run charts with QuoteTracker, use NinjaTrader as my order entry platform, MS Excel for data analytics and IE (to keep track of announcements); on three monitors.

I just wanted something that can keep me going steady with my current trading system, not really looking to get an upgrade, but thanks much for the info!

Good trading

This new GPU, Radeon HD 4750 might be considered a better alternative to GTS 250 for a multimonitor set-up. One can drive 2 high res monitors of it.

It is made in 40 nm technology:

The power it needs is half of what GTS 250 uses.

500 watts power supply sounds light to me for building a good system that can run 8 monitors.

There are many online calculators available to see how much power you need.

Depends upon the video cards. If workstation cards are used, they could command as little as 60-80 watts for 8 monitors. If gamer cards are used, perhaps up to 600(?) watts?... that's 600 watts for the video cards alone.
