Sometimes you might experience a situation that your graphic card has some problems during using StrategyQuant X. In this short tutorial I will show you how to enable or disable GPU. There are two ways how to do that.

The second way

is to set the GPU acceleration directly in the config file which is stored here:

C:/StrategyQuantX/user/settings/settings.xml
Open it in a text editor and change this line
<gpuAccelerated>true</gpuAccelerated>
to
<gpuAccelerated>false</gpuAccelerated>
after saving the file you can launch the StrategyQuant X.
