MBA base model with Zwift

[anubis1980]

Picked up my base model MBA today. It's still downloading photos etc and indexing I assume. I use my old mbp 2015 i7 2.5 quad core 16gb ram with dedicated graphics mostly for Zwift. Ive just done a quick test on the new MBA and I'm amazed. Its not optimised for the M1, the logs show Zwift doesn't even recognise it, but on 1080p high (best settings I can select at mo) min fps seem to be 60 and goes as high as 100. The fans on my mbp would scream when zwifting, max fps were at most 60 for brief moments , mostly 17-40, granted not done an afternoons bike ride yet, but still impressive

I didn't find much info about Zwift on m1, so if anyone wanted to know, it seems to work

Hi, How is it working since the last Zwift update with the High profile? Have you put a log into Zwiftlizer? I'm currently running iMac i7 quad (late 2012) and might move to an M1 Mini.

I've run Zwift on my apple TV. I like viewing on a 70" TV and use the companion app for controls. Is there any advantage to using a computer?

Better detail in the graphics. Ability to use ANT+.

Swift works great on my M1 Mini, graphics on ultra settings...

its a lot better since they updated it to support higher graphic quality

I have my 13” 2020 (10nm Intel) MBP running Zwift connected to my 4K TV and it runs it fine too without any issues. So it is not really demanding.
