: This should be Checked to help reduce the performance impact of shader compilation. Zelda Totk Shader Cache Yuzu-
Shaders are often tied to your specific GPU driver version and hardware architecture. Using a cache built on an AMD card when you own an Nvidia card can lead to crashes or graphical artifacts. Copy your downloaded
| Setting | Recommendation | |---------|----------------| | API | Vulkan (better shader management than OpenGL) | | Async shader compilation | ON | | Use pipeline cache | ON | | Accuracy level | Normal (High degrades performance) | | ASTC decoding | GPU (if supported) | | Resolution | 1x or 2x (2x with a strong GPU) | Using a cache built on an AMD card
Many shader caches fail because of a buggy Yuzu setting.
Shaders are often tied to specific graphics driver versions and Yuzu builds. Updating your GPU driver frequently "invalidates" the old cache, forcing the emulator to rebuild it from scratch. Building vs. Downloading Caches
