I have a new laptop i9 processor. 16 gigs of memory. NVIDA gforce 4060 gpu. Do I need more memory? I think sometimes it’s the connection. I have almost 500 down and 11 up. Seems to happen a lot
Thanks
Zwift will run happily on 8gb RAM and only really needs more if you’re multitasking such as source etc…
You don’t say what generation your processor is.
Being an i9 isn’t much of an advantage over an i3 and using anything up to and including 11th gen isn’t much of an advantage over 4th gen.
Also give details of the event you noticed this in. Which world and was it a busy event etc…
There are some essential changes to settings for Nvidia graphics that help.
What resolution are you running Zwift in?
Intel Core i9 14900H 43 °C
Raptor Lake 10nm Technology
This was just riding in Watopia… I do have it set at 4k resolution … I’ll go a setting down. And it was kind of busy not real busy though.
13th generation I think
14th generation.
That laptop shouldn’t be struggling.
Tweak the nvidia settings in line with the tried and trusted settings. If you’ve access to Facebook to go the ZPCMR group to get these and other useful tips.
Run a log through Zwiftalizer too as that might help us diagnose further.

Thanks will do. And I forgot about Zwiftalizer
Not sure if by jittery you mean people coming in and out of rides now where they kind of flash for a split second and then reposition or not; that’s… seemingly a thing again as of recently.
But if it’s for sure graphics wise; check your power profile and make sure your GPU is being used when Zwift is running, and not disabled / running off of your CPU’s graphics processor.
A quick and dirty check is just to launch Zwift, open task manager, click Performance, and look at the graph on your 4060’s GPU.
It shouldn’t have any issues what-so-ever running Zwift on a 4K screen with those specs.
Being a laptop however, there’s power settings that will force off the discreet GPU card to save on energy and heat.
Easiest fix assuming it isn’t set, is just to open the power settings, and set it to performance mode.

Thanks, I am going to do that now … and run a Zwifalizer
By jittery, I mean whenever a number of riders are around me they seem to be vibrating …That’s about as best as I can describe it.
Interesting; now that video screenshots is working, might want to take a video of that!
Good news is indeed the GPU is being used.
Separate train of thought; could it be network lag I wonder?
Since you are on wifi, I wonder if something is causing folks to look like they’re shuffling around due to something weird going on with your connection.

Here’s my zwift analyzer … oh guess it won’t let me link it
After 45 min it started again today … maybe I can get a video up… must be my connection. I’m thinking my wifi card. When I bought this laptop it offered an upgrade.
Looks like there’s no way to get a video up. The heck with it. Thanks anyway
My wifi card is Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz… seems there are problems with it
I see people on Reddit having problems with this adapter. One fix is go to device manager and 1. Uncheck the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
Lets see what happens.
Yeah that’s a common one for basically all things wifi related on windows.
There’s no guarantee it will fix it, a true test would a be a direct connection using a network cable if you can; just to rule that possibility out.
That’s what I will do next
