so one thing a lot of people have been
asking about is the framerate on the
Apple TV version of Zwift in a bunch
I've joined an event and they're rolling
out right now so I'm capturing this up
here I'll do an overlay over here so we
can have a look at what's going on oh
I've just missed the start so let me
redoing the bunch here with View mode
and we'll have a look at the frame rates
we're getting here in the pack so it's
not a big bunch but what I want to test
it is in the dirt and gravel and the
dust if you're as well you know what I'm
talking about when all those particles
come flying at me and the frame rates go
down so at the moment here we're running
at 30 frames a second that's quite
reasonable definitely got a pack of 2 or
300 like we saw in the HDRI the other
day but let's see what they kick up on
the ground
so again just running through the View
mode here double-clicking brings up
different views 24 frames a second
okay chalk that one up for gunda weird
there was a 50 year old dude in a
four-wheel drive pumping your thing in D
flat out cause you'll get that everyone
else I'm not so sure
anyhow back to the rift 22 frames are
sick against another biggest bunch let's
get back up here alright
through the dippers a lot of stuff going
on the screen because if a screen moving
side to side like that to a lot of stuff
going on down to 22 frames a second
look this is playable this is definitely
playable somebody also asked the other
date if you take a snapshot in TV OS
version of his works with this without
your phone where the file actually go
now on the PC it goes into My Documents
lifts pictures or something like that on
your phone take a photo it goes into
your photo directory on here on the
Apple TV here
it goes into a weird folder but I had to
get through by a USBC cable and using I
Explorer third type I don't know what
they are thinking I don't know what's
going to be there in the final product
of where those screenshots go but they
are saved down here on the device so
around 23 24 frames a second as you're
writing on in a mid-sized bunch a lot of
complexity here with the bridge down at
19 frames a second just touching on 19
frames a second going through some
people's legs 1925 and second
so complex things like this with a lot
of trees and a lot of things shown still
hovering 2122 what waterfall but the
dust is going to be the biggest test
okay so almost there on the dirt I'll
try and get to a writer at the back so
we can cop all the dust yeah
frame rate around 21 22 23 if someone's
gone for a flyer and it automatically
changed my view there we go
a lot of dust up on the screen down the
19 frames a second there 21 frames a
second might give us a bit of view from
back here someone's putting at 250 watts
not bad
okay the screen keeps Auto changing for
me so not much impact they're going
through the dust on frame rates with a
bunch of less than 24 a bunch that I
rode with this morning for about 80 or
90 with the still Liggett and Paul show
an Drive the Tour of California we went
through the dust and it wasn't a pretty
picture at all I couldn't even record it
properly because the machine behind me
recording was having trouble at full HD
it was down to about seven or eight
frames a second through there so during
those periods of low frame rates between
seven and probably ten frames per second
was quite jerky on the Apple TV I put in
a few hard effort to see if it would
respond or it would be lagging through
my effort it wasn't it was fine the
power did come up even though the screen
was Jaggi so it's only the display
that's taking its time showing you
what's on there Apple TV Gen 4 isn't
really a high powered 3d gaming machine
it does struggle in complex situations
such as the dust kicking up in a massive
bunch but it doesn't seem to impact the
recording of the data or sending the
Bluetooth power device to keep moving
along so that was a good time as well if
it hadn't lagged me and put me out the
back because of the processing that
would be a bit of trouble
so there we have it a bit of a deeper
dive into how swift on the Apple TV Gen
4 performs under high stress situations
in summary quite low frame rates under
certain circumstances that is a big
bunch of lots of textures and things
happening on the screen but only for
short periods of time but it doesn't
impact your overall gaming experience so
if you can put up with a few jagged
frame rates for a while it's a nice
cheap solution to go with alrighty
thanks for watching
