Noticed that Zwiftalizer has been updated w/new features and updated presentation interface. Quite nice!
Maybe add a way to select/sort by platform? or am I missing something?
I’ll develop a free-text search if there’s enough interest and sponsors to cover hosting costs. But to be honest I didn’t want to slice by platform because the vast majority of logs come from PC and Mac users where CPU and GPU are the main differentiators and OS makes no difference. Very few logs come from mobile platforms because accessing them is not as straightforward as on desktops and laptops and they all have some variant of a basic profile anyway, and there are no Apple TV logs.

love love love love having the benchmarks back! thank you!

After my initial post, I thought more about it and came to the same conclusion as you state in your reply. I also discovered that the cpu/gpu was clickable which is more in line with what I really wanted.
Again, good stuff and looks great!
Does anyone know if you can search by GPU? Reason I ask is that I currently have GTX 1050Ti and it sometimes struggles in Makuri, as is generally noted. I’m considering upgrading the GPU now that prices are more sensible, and it would be nice to compare.
Thanks
Steve
I don’t think you can. However, @Dave_ZPCMR can probably help you choose a good GPU based off of performance and budget.
thanks! it would need to be low profile with modest power requirements as it needs to fit into a Dell Optiplex 9010 SFF case
Only the GTX 1650 is more powerful than what you already have when it comes to low profile cards, and the improvement is tiny in Zwift terms. I assume you’re not running the game in 4K, the 1050 Ti isn’t strong enough for that.
Thanks Dave. My TV doesn’t support 4K, so just old school HD
The game doesn’t restrict you to native resolution. 
You should be using the 1440p setting with a 1050 Ti, even on a 1080p TV. It looks sharper and the performance impact is negligible. Chances are on Makuri you’re hitting a CPU bottleneck a lot of the time anyway, it’s running really poorly on this latest update. But yeah, if you want a better graphics card you’ll need a new base system - though you’re already on Ultra profile so what you actually see on screen in terms of features and detail won’t change.
Thanks for your continued work on a great tool, have you always seen Zwift traffic going to AWS US West servers? I thought last time I checked (many years ago) data was going to AWS Asian servers.
You’re welcome Michael. Since I started in 2015, it’s always been us-west-2. If Zwift was using AWS Global Accelerator, traffic paths could be different depending on which region is closest to you, but I don’t believe they are. (I’m in the Seattle area, so I’d see us-west-2 either way).
I’m running a GTX1050 on a 1080p TV in1440 resolution.
It’s cracking and I’d struggle to see how it could be much better. The difference with the ultra profile to basic is night and day.
I did run it in 4k (with no benefit) and even on the my i3 4th gen i didn’t notice any performance issues, even in Neyoko.
There probably was but when you’re bouncing up and down on a treadmill is hard to notice.
Listen to @Dave_ZPCMR he’ll show you the right path.
Hi,
I tested this yesterday and I see this information. Can someone explain the p1 value of 64. What does that mean? I read the explanation, but I am not smart enough to understand what that actually says/means. Any easy explanation would be appreciated. is 64 fps value or an index score? Is 64 bad or good? 
99% of your fps values were greater than equal to 64.
64 FPS good or bad. Generally, higher is better. At what point does it matter w/Zwift, I wouldn’t know. I run Zwift on AppleTV which IIRC is 30fps w/basic profile. It’s good enough for me. No complaints. And yes, I’ve seen it run on really nice hardware which is 
, but I’m content w/my Apple TV setup.

Thx, then I understand what that number represents
