Perfect, Thanks for this. I noticed the Cache files had been moved from where they used to be and this helped. Thanks for this video!

Worked great for me. Thank you for the helpful video!

Agreed, I could never understand why nVidia didn't make the cleaning of shader cache a 1 click deal in the nVidia control panel, AMD's Adrenaline software has this feature which is handy. I use mostly nVidia GPUs but do have a 6900xt, I do like the Adrenaline software suite as compared to the nVidia's control panel.

Thanks for the update as always Panjino. Not sure if it's something that people would find useful, but my system drive is actually pretty small, but i have a SSD 256 GB system drive, a 2 TB SSD and a 2TD normal hdd. I tend to make use of a hardlink linking the DXCache and the GLCache onto my bigger SSD drive, which is pretty easy to do, and for people who are pushed on hard drive space on their system drive and want to use the 100 GB or unlimited shader cache size this could be useful. Just a thought.

How to do it?

First off Panjno, I love & appreciate most all of your content. I honestly watched this video (Even though I know how to do ths) to see (I figured you would you really do know your stuff) if you'd mentioned clearing the Dirext-X Shaders too. I can not stress how important it is to do that evertime you clear the other shaders. I also wanted to ask you (or hear your opinion on this) a question... I figured out that I can disable my Shader cache then stop the Nvida process (In Services or the detail pane of Task manager (It's an Automatic one so it'll restart after reboot). Next I restart explorer.exe (In task manager) & that (Usually) releases all of the remaining shader files still currently in use (If not the program(s) still using one are usually listed within the warning message & you can just toggle it (or them) off & then delete them too). This then allows me to delete all the shaders without having to do a reboot first, then I take care of my Direct-X (& the normal temp files (both in temp & %temp% (Because might as well take care of all of them at the same time) ones & I only end up having to do one (And yes you need to to a) reboot (Usually) of my pc. Becuase I'm able turn on the shader cache (In Nvida Control) back on after rebooting, restart explorer.exe one more time so that it rebuilds those few shaders it uses & then go about rebuilding my shaders in the games I am currently playing. I guess just wanted to know, (even though I've seen/noticed no ill effects from do it this way) if there was actually anything wrong in doing it this way?

this helps me with opera gx twitch stuttering/bufferring, it wasnt my internet, now its not stuttering anymore tks panjino S2

This helped so much ! I just got into pc gaming and bought a build off a friend and found myself upgrading the gpu since i play on demand games like cod and for some weird reason I was getting minimal but noticeable tear in the screen when moving too fast or even just playing casually but with these steps it stopped any screen tearing I had. thank you so much man!

Dude you have so many videos about this kind of fixes, optimization etc but which one is the best and correct one for the all time use? example you disable the shader cache size in this video but in the other one you enable it. You change many settings in one video and the other one you revert them etc. I am kinda confused of which video of yours is needs to be followed for the full PC and game optimization.

Thank you so much i wanted GTA V but i didnt have space now i do! THANK YOU.

Thank you for the video man! It helped a lot. Although I have another problem, I've just upgraded to a 4070 Ti Super but it doesn't seem to fully utilize the available power of the gpu in Fortnite. Let me explain. In the graphic settings I set the Epic default but turn Lumen off. The game then runs at around 100-120fps but using only 65% GPU and 25% CPU (i7 12700F). I've tried max settings, low settings and perf mode but the GPU just doesn't want to go all the way up to 100% (the more demanding the settings are, the higher the GPU consumption, but never 100%). That's weird because I remember getting 470fps with my previous GPU (RTX 3060) on perf mode, but the 4070 Ti Super only gets 250fps on a 40% usage. It's almost like if I was locking the frame limit, but I'm not. I'm totally sure. What might be the problem here?

fixed it thanks

Ahh, i see my error, i'd not turned off the the shaders and restarted. Following a tip from another source, it said to clear out the cache in the App data section, which was only half the job. iirc nothing about turning it off first, in the nvdiot control panel, which srsly needs some updating a bettier skin at least lol. Thanks for tips and liked

Thanks. Someone know if Steam Shader cache is useless when we already have Nvidia shader cache ? What's the point of having two applications that do the same thing ? Aren't they likely to come into conflict ? Thanks

Bro omg, you the freaking goat, i tried every dang thing and couldn't feel my game getting better I was getting constant stutters and freezing at times... After doing this I've been having no issues, game running smooth like some trucks on a overwaxed rail... you the goat

this doesnt do anything for stuttering and performance other than make games stutter more when you play them for the first time after doing this as your gpu will have to re load and re cache all the shaders, you are spewing some massive bs.

clearing the shader cache will just make it have to be rebuilt again, that in turn will cause you to get stutters when you start the game again. The default shader cache size for Nvidia is 4gb, You could install 100 games and not even use up 50mb from the shader files from all those games.

Thank you for the Shader cache size info, it will make my decision in the Nvidia control panel much easier.

Some games like Assassin's Creed will not show the shaders being recompiled, instead it will look like your game is hanging for a minute or more, this is the shaders being compiled in the background, do not close your game, let it complete, it will only do this once.

disk clean up can clean the directX cache and DDU clean the rest when you use it to remove drivers right? correct me if im wrong.
