Mijn vraag,
In 2013 heb ik een HTPC gebouwd op basis van deze BBG HTPC: reviews: Desktop Best Buy Guide: november 2013
Ik gebruik deze HTPC momenteel uitsluitend nog om Zwift te draaien in combinatie met een Kickr Core. De grafische weergave is alleen een beetje simpel. Ik heb begrepen dat de grafische weergave te verbeteren is door een GPU / videokaart toe te voegen maar ben absoluut niet thuis in deze wereld.
Wat is de beste prijs / kwaliteit videokaart voor deze doelstelling?
Relevante software en hardware die ik gebruik
Processors AMD A6-6400K Boxed
Processorkoeling Scythe Shuriken Rev. B
Moederborden Gigabyte F2A88XM-D3H
Geheugen intern Crucial 8 GB DDR3-1600 Kit (1x)
Solid state drives Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
Behuizingen Silverstone Grandia GD06B behuizing
Voedingen be quiet! System Power 7 300W
Wat ik al gevonden of geprobeerd heb: Hardware aanbevelingen voor Zwift https://zwiftinsider.com/zwift-pc-guide/
TL;DR – Key components to buy for best performance/value ratio (February 2020):
You need a CPU with high clock speed and strong single-thread performance. More cores are essentially irrelevant, so don’t waste your money. Whilst AMD Ryzen CPUs are excellent value and offer a fantastic future upgrade path, in general Intel CPUs are better suited to Zwift. Good examples: Intel Core i3-9100F, or Core i5-9400F if streaming or multitasking is your thing.
Buy an Nvidia graphics card of series 10xx or newer, with 4GB of VRAM or greater. Don’t go too far though because you’ll see the same bottlenecks no matter what, so don’t waste your money. I’m not even convinced Zwift uses more than 4GB. Good examples: Nvidia GTX 1660, GTX 1650 Super, or GTX 1060 6GB.
Unless you are dead set on a big 4K TV, look to buy a Freesync monitor with a wide adaptive sync range; ideally enough to allow for Low Framerate Compensation (LFC). Good examples: Pixio PX275h (branded ElectriQ in the UK) or virtually any 144Hz gaming monitor with DisplayPort input (important!)
8GB of system RAM is plenty, and adding it in dual channel configuration (i.e. two sticks) is best practice. More capacity won’t improve anything, so don’t waste your money. Good example: 2 x 4GB 2400Mhz DDR4.
Zwift can take a while to update and load worlds, so have your system running on an SSD. If it’s just for installing Windows and running Zwift, even a 120GB SSD is easily big enough.
Note: AMD graphics cards don’t perform as well in Zwift, so they should generally be avoided.
