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.
I hate Nvidia control panel and geforce experience they are biggest flaws over amd, none of them have temperature color changer, and they look extremely outdated, and obviously lacks a lot of features
Thanks for fixing a major issue I was having, it's nice to FINALLY come across a fix/tutorial that is actually useful instead of some AI voice telling me to turn the power on and off again.
You sir, are an absolute legend!! I have been getting tons of crashes on my 4090 rig and has been driving mad as everything looked spot on. Followed your steps on this video precisely, set the shader cache at the end back to 10GB after cleaning everything out and not a single crash since (was happening multiple times in just 1 hour on various games). I think NVIDIA should watch this and take note. Their install process for driver updates should be doing this automatically. Thank you again! Brilliant!
1: deleted and installed fresh the Nvidia drivers - went from 30 to 60 fps. 2: did what you said in this video - went from 60 to 90 fps. Thank you (i7-9800x, 32gb RAM, 4060ti 16gb, FS2020)

I'm cool with the way he does things, he's usually on the ball and gives fair warnings and disclaimers where need be. Sorry sir but i wont let you throw arrogant shade at my guy like that. 86.
Thanks so much for the video! My video was lagging, freezing up and it was becoming a chore to even copy and paste after the programs ran for a few minutes. CPU % usage was from 40 to 100%. CPU Temp was running about 170 -189F. Now CPU usage is now about 5% and as low as 2% running the same programs that I was running before, and now CPU temp is about 116F. I have spent hours and knocked myself out trying to solve this problem. I am so glad I came across your video. AWSOME!!! Using Acer laptop with Nivida 3060 graphics. Running smooth and seamless now.
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
I don’t know how all these years ur still making all these videos but i gotta say, one of the best guiders out there keep it up man 👍🏻🌹 Tried ur setups for several stuff and didn’t experience any chronic issues at all 💯
Yo thanks so much i stop playing eso a few months ago because of performance issues some how came across this video followed your instruction jumped on to eso and games running amazing thank you
thnx alot man I'm glad I found this video. I was having packet loss issues on mw3 and high latency issues and all the ways people explain to fix it did not help. I followed the instructions you gave and all that trouble went away I played 4 matches with zero issues now.
Man wake up. Problem is with those type of tutorials that they never shown Before and After. I did try many of them and I really never experienced any proper improvements. What about You ?? Any improvements ??

If you are running an old device and are having lag / stutter issues; this really does help 🙏 the first step I was not able to do as the folder he had, I did not; but I followed all other steps and managed to get my Day Z running from low setting with stutter lag, to a mix of medium / extreme settings with a steady hard cap fps of 60 🙏 this along side some other steps really can make a 13 year old pc with a GTX 970, 8gb Ram and I5 processor run like new again 🙏 might only be temporary but consistent maintenance really does help 🙏
thanks a lot @Panjno, I've recently bought a RTX 4070 and was wondering, why the heck I'm getting stutters in WoW....The FPS was spiking from high to mid and again to high (unbalanced) and some mechanics like in Raid and M+ were unplayable, I was frustrated till now. Again Kudos for this!!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
Oh wow so there they are lmao. Awesome vid thanks man. I was having mad issues with cyberpunk today was trying everything... randomly seen this vid. And boom fixed. Runs like butter again and no it didnt stutter first starting up. It just ran straight off the bat, rtx 4080. Couldn't believe how many cache folders i had
or you just set the Shader Cache Size to 512Mb so you only have the latest Cache ( will be overwritten by new ones ) and not for Month upon Month stored
Todo esto me vuelve loco, cuando desactivo el cache del sombreador y borro los archivos tal como en el video el juego me va genial pero tartamudea, pero si pongo el shader cache en 10gb o ilimitado, el juego no tartamudea nada, pero no l o siento fluido, siento que va como con retraso JAJAJA hasta el escritorio se siente lento, vere si tu consejo ayuda, nunca lo había pensado..
Ive come to realization that most all videos about optimizing windows for gaming is nonsense. I left default windows 11 as it was, started downloading my steam library, at 40-80MB/s. Then as that was happening went in to pla y a game and was getti ng 182 FPS, cpu 8%, 35 ms network latency, and no shutter at all. Just no differen ce. So its BS really to be optimizing anything. Windows can handle it as is just fine even when system is downloading at max behind the scenes while playing another online game at max settings.
I don't understand, wouldn't this just cause shader compilation stutter at the start of games all over again, as they need to compile and store all the shaders that were just deleted?
Shader cache works like bios, it keeps prefetches game assets so that game doesn't have to load it every time it cold boots. You might have noticed some games (i.e.: Hogwarts legacy) does take a while in to load assets, map levels etc in the loading screen.
New Video Cards are much faster at producing shaders info than the speed of the M.2 drives data. The M.2 Drives no matter how fast they are slow down the video data coming to the screen. Any RTX-4060 or higher is faster than any M.2 data flow rate. Nivida was suppose to dump shader cache in total with all the new cards. You would need a drive with an I/O speed of like 12000+ to see any difference in video speed. Then shader might work better. If your running some 8 core processor there is no use turning shader on at all.
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?
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.
I did this today and made game sound only work in stream if i was talking in mic. Shut pc down and now it wont turn back on. Dont know what would be causing it but i followed instructions exactly
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.
only if the cache was full would it make a difference however that is very unlikely as the files are literally kb in size, if you set shader cache to 5gb or more you will be fine for a long time.
i kept asking my self like, this isn't gonna fix anything other than just make you download everything back which for some games like apex can take like 5-10m its just dumb idk
If you delete the shader cache files, the system will stutter when recompiling the shader cache when you start the game up so this seems kinda pointless clickbaity stuff IMO. Also others who have followed this have been unable to launch their games too.
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
I was on the way home from a trip when I saw this, I thought it would work and wanted to do it when I got home, I sent it to my friend because his rig has stutters and lag in games more than mine does. He later texts me that his computer is much slower, and won’t run any game longer that a few seconds, before it goes to blue screen
This tweak might actually introduces stutters rather than fixing them. After clearing the shader cache, games need to re-write their shaders before you can play them again. Some games are smart and do that when you start the game. Others, however, do that on the fly during gameplay, introducing stutters until everything has been encountered in the game world once. With Mechwarrior 5 for example, I know that everytime I install a new GPU driver, the game will stutter like crazy for a couple of missions because it re-writes shaders on the fly. Not cool.
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
I assumed this was all done automatically these days. Fifteen years ago it was a button... something like 'delete cache' or 'clear cache'... how is it that it's harder now and not easier? 'Cause it used to be really necessary... often.
What if I don't have a Nvidia folder at all? The only one I have is "Nvidia Corporation." It's said that it doesn't matter if there are more or fewer files in that folder, but what if you don't have the folder at all?
This is kind of a dumb question. I have my games installed on the E drive instead of C so should I follow the video step by step, or should I select disk E on the Disk Clean-Up app?
Hoping this helps me, I upgraded from an RTX 2070 to an RTX 4070 and I'm getting weird performance in Cyberpunk 2077 even after using DDU and clean installing my drivers. I have an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 so it's not a CPU bottleneck, other games are pulling 100% utilization on the GPU.
I am facing some unusual issue. Sytem: Ryzen 7 5800X, ColorFul RTX 3060 12GB, Samsung Odyssey G4 240Hz Monitor So, I am booting my PC it starts with 240Hz, For a couple of minutes(2-3 minutes). It stays in 240Hz, but after that it immediately switches to 60Hz output. Highlight: All the NVidia control panel settings, windows settings, monitor settings are already in 240Hz. this is something very unusual happening. First occurence: I was playing Valorant, There was a power cut and as soon as I turned my PC back on. This issue was there. Sometimes, it fixes itself automatically but it can be like as soon as I restarted it. This issue will start again. Troubleshooting: I tried clean install of nvidia gpu drivers, I tried clean install of windows, I tried clearing shader cache in Nvidia Control Panel. After all this this issue is still there. Please help
Hello, I have a problem with World of Tanks. If v-sync is turned on, I don't have a constant 60fps, it just jumps from 40 to 60 all the time. How did you do what you showed in the video so that the fps disappeared and the game will be smoother?

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?
Thank you for the rundown on this issue, I sure will share it, I am interested in the FPS counter you are using and can it be captured by obs.
Thank you so much i wanted GTA V but i didnt have space now i do! THANK YOU.
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.
Thanks for continued solid content for PC optimizations. Could you make a video covering the Fortnite stutter?
They should implement a smart cache clearing feature that clearing your cache from time to time without need you to manually doing it.
why i got nothing in my nvidia folder normal or not ?
Hey pan please create a video on optimize win 11 for gaming I know that you already make that but I trust on your new videos ❤❤
You saved me from getting a new laptop, thank you
Thanks for your help
I did this today and made game sound only work in stream if i was talking in mic. Shut pc down and now it wont turn back on. Dont know what would be causing it but i followed instructions exactly
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.
only if the cache was full would it make a difference however that is very unlikely as the files are literally kb in size, if you set shader cache to 5gb or more you will be fine for a long time.
i kept asking my self like, this isn't gonna fix anything other than just make you download everything back which for some games like apex can take like 5-10m its just dumb idk
this can help if you have corrupted shaders like i did :) it wont increase fps lol
crazyyy nvidia should make this easierrr
This really helped me ... 😊
Thank you. How often do we need to do this?
When you are starting experiencing any problems.
If you delete the shader cache files, the system will stutter when recompiling the shader cache when you start the game up so this seems kinda pointless clickbaity stuff IMO. Also others who have followed this have been unable to launch their games too.
It clears any old shader caches or even corrupt ones when you go back on the game and it stutters for 5mins it’s downloading new shaders for that game
Is bad?
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
I was on the way home from a trip when I saw this, I thought it would work and wanted to do it when I got home, I sent it to my friend because his rig has stutters and lag in games more than mine does. He later texts me that his computer is much slower, and won’t run any game longer that a few seconds, before it goes to blue screen
This tweak might actually introduces stutters rather than fixing them. After clearing the shader cache, games need to re-write their shaders before you can play them again. Some games are smart and do that when you start the game. Others, however, do that on the fly during gameplay, introducing stutters until everything has been encountered in the game world once. With Mechwarrior 5 for example, I know that everytime I install a new GPU driver, the game will stutter like crazy for a couple of missions because it re-writes shaders on the fly. Not cool.
Been watching since the Rust legacy days love the dedication
I would love to see this turned into a desktop bat file, or two, because of the reboots to make it simpler for us laypersons.
I always have these videos open on my tablet, much easier 👍
@@garyschei tablet huh? Nice for you. And so much better than a double click one shot and it's done.
I don’t have a folder called GLCache folder in my NVIDIA folder. Should I be concerned?

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
thanks mr panjo
I assumed this was all done automatically these days. Fifteen years ago it was a button... something like 'delete cache' or 'clear cache'... how is it that it's harder now and not easier? 'Cause it used to be really necessary... often.
What if I don't have a Nvidia folder at all? The only one I have is "Nvidia Corporation." It's said that it doesn't matter if there are more or fewer files in that folder, but what if you don't have the folder at all?
can you do the FINALS optimization? thanks!
This is kind of a dumb question. I have my games installed on the E drive instead of C so should I follow the video step by step, or should I select disk E on the Disk Clean-Up app?
Hey does this help with black flickering lines in games ?
Hoping this helps me, I upgraded from an RTX 2070 to an RTX 4070 and I'm getting weird performance in Cyberpunk 2077 even after using DDU and clean installing my drivers. I have an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 so it's not a CPU bottleneck, other games are pulling 100% utilization on the GPU.
Como te fue?
For the shader Cache Size, if we have multiple SSD's could we up that to 100G my C drive has about 80G but my other SSD has 1TB left of space.
just put unlimited it doesnt matter because you will never come close to even 10 gbs of cache
Good question , i want to know aswell
Another way is to do a clean reinstall of the driver.
I am facing some unusual issue.
Sytem: Ryzen 7 5800X, ColorFul RTX 3060 12GB, Samsung Odyssey G4 240Hz Monitor
So, I am booting my PC it starts with 240Hz, For a couple of minutes(2-3 minutes). It stays in 240Hz, but after that it immediately switches to 60Hz output.
Highlight: All the NVidia control panel settings, windows settings, monitor settings are already in 240Hz. this is something very unusual happening.
First occurence: I was playing Valorant, There was a power cut and as soon as I turned my PC back on. This issue was there. Sometimes, it fixes itself automatically but it can be like as soon as I restarted it. This issue will start again.
Troubleshooting: I tried clean install of nvidia gpu drivers, I tried clean install of windows, I tried clearing shader cache in Nvidia Control Panel.
After all this this issue is still there. Please help
Hello, I have a problem with World of Tanks. If v-sync is turned on, I don't have a constant 60fps, it just jumps from 40 to 60 all the time. How did you do what you showed in the video so that the fps disappeared and the game will be smoother?
Doubt it, but it's a possibility
2:22 i cant find NVIDIA folder inside of LocalLow. anyone know solution?
Same
To delete all the files in the shader cache folder, start your PC in safe mode.
What is that app next to steam called? I've always wondered what it was but I can never find out.
