How to test video card suitability for MT5? - General

Urain:

Thanks for the link, but just a follow-up question: can this code be used to test graphics card performance?

No. First you have to add a couple of million objects per page. And then loop(10000){ ChartRedraw(); }

:)

:)

A couple of million is too much, but 100k is good enough for a test.

   uint st=GetTickCount();
   for(uint i=0; i<Count; i++)ChartRedraw();

   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_COLOR,clrGreen);
   ObjectSetDouble(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_PRICE,price);
  }

Is it ok? Is it possible to call it "objective test of video card suitability for MT5"?

Or maybe the objects should also change their values?

Let's try redrawing part of the objects, and specifying the CPU and the video card. If the developers do not reject it, then we can create a branch and everyone will post their data. Here's the code with redrawing part of the objects.

   for(int i=0;i<CountObj;i++)
     {
      ObjHLine(ChId,i,1.+(i/(double)CountObj));
     }
   sto=GetTickCount();
   for(int i=0;i<CountObjRedrawt;i++)
      ObjectSetDouble(ChId,rand()%CountObj,OBJPROP_PRICE,1.+((i+1)/(double)CountObj));
   eno=GetTickCount();
   reso=eno-sto;

    uint st=GetTickCount();
   for(uint i=0; i<Count; i++)
     {
      if(i%2==0)
        {
         for(int j=0;j<CountObjRedrawt;j++)
            ObjectSetDouble(ChId,rand()%CountObj,OBJPROP_PRICE,1.+((i+2)/(double)CountObj));
        }
      else
        {
         for(int j=0;j<CountObjRedrawt;j++)
            ObjectSetDouble(ChId,rand()%CountObj,OBJPROP_PRICE,1.+((i+1)/(double)CountObj));

      ChartRedraw();
     }
   Alert("ChartRedraw() Count=",Count," CountObj=",CountObj," CountObjRedrawt=",CountObjRedrawt," time=",GetTickCount()-st-(reso*Count)," mk.c.");

This test more tests speed of asynchronous communication queue with objects (ObjectSetXXXX function), but not video system.

I'm not claiming, but maybe you didn't notice that before the test started, the cyclic time of changing objects was measured, followed by subtracting a multiple of the time from the total.

   sto=GetTickCount();
   for(int i=0;i<CountObjRedrawt;i++)
      ObjectSetDouble(ChId,rand()%CountObj,OBJPROP_PRICE,1.+((i+1)/(double)CountObj));
   eno=GetTickCount();
   reso=eno-sto;
...
   " time=",GetTickCount()-st-(reso*Count)

Correct me if I'm wrong.

SZY Uniquely I do not discount if(i%2==0) but I do not think that this test will significantly change the figures, we need the relative figure on different videahas.

HH By the way, similar measurements are obtained without redrawing, even a little bit more, which probably says that when using ObjectSetXXXXX function often, its work is somehow accelerated, and time deduction is slightly overestimated.

And the indicator by itself does not load the GPU at this time (calculation at zero bar on CPU), it loads only the terminal rendering of all this mess.

Yes, I didn't notice right away that there is a correction operation.

But still my correction is completely correct. The velocity of an asynchronous queue (which is really a queue) depends directly on the mode of operation of the queue.

First, you measured the speed of the queue per write with no external stimuli and no read operations from it. In fact it was instantaneous (reso=0 ms, check for yourself). But then you started using not only write but also read operations via ChartRedraw in your tests, which started blocking the queue for proofreading and overlapping all operations.

In fact, this is a test of 1,000,000 changes among 1,000 objects in an existing set of 100,000 objects. There is no way to call it a video test using ObjectXXXx functions.

And if we first measure the full set of repaints without ChartRedraw and then with it, and make a subtraction, would it be correct?

By the way, the topic is very relevant, you could write a test, it's easier for you knowing internal structure of mql.
