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!

one thing to note: do this only if you have problems because in 99.99% of the cases this is just a waste of time that does nothing and detrimental to the game experience since you need to wait for shader rebulding again.

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experience they are biggest flaws over amd, none of them have temperature color changer, and they look extremely outdated, and obviously lacks a lot of features

Thank you very much I was having severe frame drops and stutters in some of my game after installing a RTX 4080 super, I thought it was because my CPU (and was going to go spend $300.00+ on a newer one) thinking the one I have wasn't fast enough to keep up with the RTX 4080 super but after doing this my games play buttery smooth with frame rates that are out of this world now!!!!! Love your videos on how you might be able to fix something without having to upgrade or build a new system. I would have never thought to clear my Shader Cache after upgrading my GPU and doing a fresh install of the NVIDA drivers I needed for the new card! Worked great for me and I'm now going to play some games on my 2 days off and have fun. Thanks again for such a great video!!!!!!!!!
What a stud! I cant tell you how much i appreciate the work you do, Mr. Panjno. I've learned SO MUCH from watching your videos. Keep up the great work brother :-)
Oh boy here we go. @@bnielsen7000 I've been watching Panjno's videos for YEARS. The videos are well made, tremendously informative, easy to follow and otherwise helpful.

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
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.
u r the best friend I never had bro !!!!!!! seriously been into gpus since my first pc way back when.... and I was obsessed with performance optimisation of my system and never found anyone like u man, keep up ur work bro just subbd to you !!!! ur guides r god sent !!!
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.
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!!!
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 💯

I tried to access the GLCache through Nvidia folder but it was completely empty??? (This was exactly after updating the drivers the day before, only "change" I had done)
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?
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 ??
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?

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.
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.
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?
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..
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.
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!
I did this to help Halo Infinite from crashing but now my Minecraft worlds are deleted. Any help with this? I've already tried "restoring previous" files in %appdata%. There was no save file available. I'm pretty bummed out honestly.
Hi, thx and first for your videos. I have a problem, I cannot find the GLCache-folder. I have been running a system-wide search, no result. I habe a rtx4090 gamerock. What should I do?
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
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.
My problems go away temporarily but quickly return. I have a 4060ti 16GB GPU on the way to upgrade from my 3050. Do you think this might fix my issue? That being that my gpu is always at 99% and 62 degrees C resting
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 fixed everything. Although my directx cleaning wizard took 50 mins. I hadnt cleared cache since building the PC 5 and 1/2 years ago. Thought she was finally dying. Nope! Buttery smooth now. Thanks!😂
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
I have a brand new gaming pc and all of a sudden my GPU time in warzone menu is up around 40ms and frames down around 30 but in game my frames got back up to almost normal and my GPU time is down around 10-14ms and cpu time is under that but it use to not be that way I use to get 120-280 fps in the menu with GPU times no higher then 9 and under the cpu times now it’s flip flopped and super high in menu and I don’t know what happened or how to fix it
I made a mistake and I don't got GLCache I fucked up and put it in the garbage and empty out the garbage can't get it back i try clean install off the Nvidia drivers there still not there. Are they really necessary or should everything be working fine after clean install
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
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.
All of a sudden my warzone is running at 30-50 fps. Yesterday and all the other times ive played it been fine at 90+ fps. No matter what I do, I can not seem to increase my fps. I also seemed to have dropped fps on other games! The only thing I can think of that mightve cause some trouble is that yesterday before turning off my MSI Pulse GL66 laptop, i installed the latest Nvidia driver. Could updating drivers be a reason why my performance has been so low? PLS help, I wanted to relax and game, I just got more stress from this random poor performance!
Hey idk if theres any easy fix (ive tried most things) So when i play overwatch i get good fps i limit it at 400fps but could get more, But when i go in a game it stutters and drops around 100fps every 10sec or so, and i can feel the stutter so its abit annoying, i play with 280hz monitor, and changing settings and capping fps etc has changed nothing. any idea?
I thought my pc’s overheating after updating my driver, noticed how my game’s stutter alot while playing. Already finished doing all of these, hope this fix it.
I don't know what the benefit of these settings is Disable shader cash and remove the files Then enable shader cash , and again the temporary files will be stored The shader cache is necessary to remove the stuttering , not the other way around
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.

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

Hi, thx and first for your videos. I have a problem, I cannot find the GLCache-folder. I have been running a system-wide search, no result. I habe a rtx4090 gamerock. What should I do?
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
thank you so much i had no idea how this worked
why there's no folder in my %localappdata% > NVIDIA (FOLDER) there's nothing inside here, is this gonna be an issue?
please help
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.
It may resolve corruption issues with shader cache tho
I mean I have 4 games installed and 192mb of shader cache.
Thank you for the Shader cache size info, it will make my decision in the Nvidia control panel much easier.
Hmm. Seems it's working for pep
Just did this on a new build rtx 4060, it cleared up at first and after a minute it started dropped frame rates with stutter 🤔🤔 any idea ?
My problems go away temporarily but quickly return. I have a 4060ti 16GB GPU on the way to upgrade from my 3050. Do you think this might fix my issue? That being that my gpu is always at 99% and 62 degrees C resting
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 fixed everything. Although my directx cleaning wizard took 50 mins. I hadnt cleared cache since building the PC 5 and 1/2 years ago.
Thought she was finally dying.
Nope! Buttery smooth now.
Thanks!😂
when i ctrl-a the direct files and right click i hit ok but it doesn't show me trash bin just whos delete and things like that, do I just delete it?
since i done it i cant launch a few game like rainbow six siege, call of duty and counter strike do you have a solution ???
You'll need shader cache for playing this games! And many other games use this feature to prevent shader compilation stutters during gameplay.
Don't forget to re-enable it!
Thank you! I think it worked! 🔥🔥🔥
I don't have any files in folder "NVIDIA". But, also I've updated my driver. Could it possibly have deleted all cash already?
How sure you are that g sync and v sync must be on ??? g sync must be on but v sync on with g sync is better? is it right..?
Hey does this help with black flickering lines in games ?
I don't have any NVidia folders in LocalLow? Is this a new driver thing? I'm on 537.58 on an RTX 4090.
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
I have a brand new gaming pc and all of a sudden my GPU time in warzone menu is up around 40ms and frames down around 30 but in game my frames got back up to almost normal and my GPU time is down around 10-14ms and cpu time is under that but it use to not be that way I use to get 120-280 fps in the menu with GPU times no higher then 9 and under the cpu times now it’s flip flopped and super high in menu and I don’t know what happened or how to fix it
For the AMD equivalent, just open "global graphics" in Adrenaline, in the advanced section click the "reset shader cache" button.
Worked great for me. Thank you for the helpful video!
What is that app next to steam called? I've always wondered what it was but I can never find out.
if anyone can't find the other folders try "show hidden files" might help
I made a mistake and I don't got GLCache I fucked up and put it in the garbage and empty out the garbage can't get it back i try clean install off the Nvidia drivers there still not there.
Are they really necessary or should everything be working fine after clean install
Your fine nvidia got rid of that for some reason
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
Can't find the shader cash after the 511 and can't find the new folder for the cash
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?
I have problem with very low draw distance in all games. This can be help for that?
All of a sudden my warzone is running at 30-50 fps. Yesterday and all the other times ive played it been fine at 90+ fps. No matter what I do, I can not seem to increase my fps. I also seemed to have dropped fps on other games! The only thing I can think of that mightve cause some trouble is that yesterday before turning off my MSI Pulse GL66 laptop, i installed the latest Nvidia driver. Could updating drivers be a reason why my performance has been so low?
PLS help, I wanted to relax and game, I just got more stress from this random poor performance!
I did the same thing and now it’s fps dropping the fuck out of my pc
You're a legend sir. No more stuttering.
Hey idk if theres any easy fix (ive tried most things) So when i play overwatch i get good fps i limit it at 400fps but could get more, But when i go in a game it stutters and drops around 100fps every 10sec or so, and i can feel the stutter so its abit annoying, i play with 280hz monitor, and changing settings and capping fps etc has changed nothing. any idea?
I got the same problem on my 4090 and i9 setup. Did you find out what the problem was?
@@DisciplesHyper yeah it got fixed after I did a clean reinstall of Nvidia
@@Pomzy Thanks so much I will try that!
@@Pomzy a clean reinstall of what ? Nividia drivers or that thing in the video
@@retrogamer847 Nvidia drivers
I thought my pc’s overheating after updating my driver, noticed how my game’s stutter alot while playing. Already finished doing all of these, hope this fix it.
I don't have GLCache folder....why?
Same
Excellent video, helped me a ton!
Is it necessary to reenable the shader cache? What happens if i leave it off?
for some reason my gpu usage is stuck at 100% making my gpu temp reach 85+. i cant find the issue and ive looked at multiple tutorials
BRO YOU SAVED MY LIFE THESE STUTTERS ARE ALMOST ALL GONE
It worked but after, the next day it starts capping fps again, what do I do?
Panjno I dont see any GlCache folder??
thanks brev worked like wonders
Why do you need to disable Shader cache?
Does something break if you dont or is it because putting it to disabled also deletes some files?
i would assume that if its still enabled u wont be able to delete the cache within the folder
I don't know what the benefit of these settings is
Disable shader cash and remove the files
Then enable shader cash , and again the temporary files will be stored
The shader cache is necessary to remove the stuttering , not the other way around
Thankyou budd it working beautifully now
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.
