Are from Tempus Fugit Watopia… Ride with Cara cadence so kinda busy🙂
12100F should easily deal with the Coco group, I’d expect a solid 60fps so check your temps and ensure the cooler is seated properly. I’m typically at 70-80fps with Coco so you should have a constant 60.
It’s more likely you ran out of GPU juice though, the bit with the flowers in the desert is pretty taxing and if you went into Titans Grove then it’ll definitely be that.
The flower part was indeed the wordt area. I will use the Nvidia overlay next ride to determine GPU demand.
There should be a Dave Higgins statue in Watopia! Thnx man!

I read almost all of the threads in this forum, great information, thank you all for your valuable input.
I am running Zwift on a i5-4690 standalone PC with a GTX 1070ti. I think the performance is “good”, I have 40-60 fps in UHD mode. But I have to mention that I am watching on a 40 inch Full HD television, so 1920x1080 resolution.
Would a CPU upgrade to the i3-12100f give me an even better graphical experience and/or raise the fps. Or would any upgrade in my case be an overkill, as long as I don’t use a 4K device?
right now this update is giving every pc a hard time, but typically you could expect some nice performance from an upgrade like that. average FPS for me with a worse gpu (1060 3gb) and a 12100f before this patch was around 75-80 in 4k, and 90-95 in 1440p.
with a full HD tv (1080p) you won’t notice a visual difference between running zwift at 1440p or 4k (both resolutions can display ultra settings) but your frame rate take a hit regardless if you run it in 4k because the GPU has to render like, i can’t remember exactly, i think it’s almost twice as many pixels per frame
something else to be aware of is that TVs usually have a refresh rate of 60hz (sometimes higher, but usually 60hz). if you are running zwift at 200fps but your display refresh rate is only 60hz, you’ll only actually see 60fps. that’s plenty of frames for a good experience, but with a CPU upgrade the biggest performance benefits you are going to see will mostly come from a stable FPS, so less stuttering and hitching, faster load times etc.
Thank you for the extended answer, gives me issues to think about 
I checked the fps and noticed that they get somewhat “stuck” at 60. That could be because of the full hd TV from 2016, that cannot get higher (didn’t think about that, thank you for the hint!)
Thinking about my setup, I guess the bottleneck (if I might even call it that) is my TV. Upgrading it to a 4K would then probably show that my CPU/GPU is too weak.
if you did do that, then you would see a much bigger improvement from a CPU upgrade. your GPU can already handle 4k in zwift no problem. a new tv and a new gpu/motherboard just for the sake of zwift is probably hard to justify but it’s something to keep in the back of your mind for when/if you ever do replace the tv
