 Brisingr | They recommend disabling it for Proton-GE and Proton-EM as well (I use the former). | 10:44:45 |

 K900 | That makes no sense | 10:48:49 |
| K900 | Shader pre-caching has nothing to do with video | 10:48:58 |
| K900 | And the whole point of ahead of time shader compilation is to reduce stutter | 10:49:16 |

 magic_rb | yeah shader caches have nothing to do with video playback lol | 15:45:39 |
 hustlerone | in my experience ahead of time shader compilation does nothing for me | 15:49:16 |
| magic_rb | it does do something | 15:49:49 |
| magic_rb | it precompiles the shaders | 15:49:54 |
| K900 | There's a few things it does | 15:52:51 |
| K900 | It will actually download fully precompiled shader caches | 15:53:26 |
| K900 | If Valve has those for your hardware | 15:53:31 |
| K900 | And it will also download Fossilize pipelines and replay those | 15:53:41 |
| K900 | Which are hardware agnostic | 15:53:49 |
| K900 | (ideally) | 15:53:51 |

is this needed for AMD gpu's? I've never enabled this yes | 00:40:55 |
| bandithedoge | your de probably enables it by default anyway | 00:41:25 |
| gumbo | I use niri, never enabled this and it pulls the amdgpu driver. Would it make any difference if I already get the driver and everything works fine? | 00:46:32 |
