The PC is a critical component in the dyno setup. It records all data, displays it in the graphs and gauges, and controls the brake(s), all in real time. It needs to be able to keep up.
You can check the so-called CPU Mark number for your CPU (google CPU Benchmark <your CPU>). For new PCs a number above 10.000 is great, although it will run at 5.000 as well.
Minimum recommended CPU is:
New Intel i3 @ 3ghz+
AMD quad core @ 3ghz+
If your CPU has less than 4 cores it may struggle to run YourDyno.
YourDyno is not very memory intensive but we still recommend at least 8GB ram so the PC has enough for all it is doing. It does not require a good graphics card
Windows 10 and Windows 11 are supported. Windows 8/8.1 is not a good OS in general, but it does work with YourDyno.
For downloading of the latest drivers and software they can be found on the downloads page.

Hi there. Building a PC for the Dyno, I see 8 core CPU and 4 core is recommended. I wanted to know if the program utilizes more cores well or if I am better of with fewer cores but more powerful ones.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Powerful cores are more important than many cores. Most of the application is single threaded. Some plugins and gauge handling are running different threads.
Cheers,

We are building a system for a customer who will be using your software. Are the system requirements with regards to CPU speeds still accurate for 13th Gen i5 or i7 processors? Also, you state that a good video card is not required, is a discrete video card required at all or will integrated video work fine?
