This guide is primarily aimed at those who want to use their PC solely or mainly for Zwift and want a great experience without wasting money unnecessarily. You don’t need the latest and most expensive parts. It’s important to note that almost all of what follows is NOT particularly good advice for PC gaming in general, because Zwift is different to most other modern games and there are diminishing returns beyond a certain point of investment. We’re all paying to stare at Zwift, so why wouldn’t we want it at its best? If you’re already content with a lower level of detail and/or a low frame rate, this article is not intended for you! This at 30fps or less… …versus this at 60fps or more? Warning: a better-looking, smoother Zwift will not make you faster or stronger (unless it gets you on the bike more often). At this point, my own PC has been rebuilt and changed at least ten times… The information here is based on having personally put together over 70 dedicated Zwift PCs for members of the community, and hundreds of hours of testing and discussion with fellow nerds enthusiasts. PCs do require some additional effort to set up versus other platforms, but I firmly believe the results are worth it. There are many misconceptions addressed here – primarily that Zwift is all about the graphics card (not the whole story), that the CPU doesn’t matter (inaccurate), that you need an ‘expensive high-end gaming rig’ (incorrect) and that PCs inherently aren’t as stable as other platforms for running Zwift (codswallop). Whilst there are many people who happily run Zwift on their mobile phone, tablet, Apple TV, or laptop, some may be considering ways to improve their experience. This article is not intended to provide a comparison between the pros and cons of the various platforms, but rather to offer advice on running Zwift at its very best, which means at the highest levels of detail, resolution, and frame rate. To experience Zwift at ultimate visual quality and performance, a Windows PC is required.
