Ryujinx Shader Caches [updated]

For users who don’t want to manage caches at all, async compilation is a lifesaver. However, it does not eliminate the CPU overhead—just hides the symptom.

The impact of Ryujinx's shader cache technology can be seen in various benchmarks and user reports. For example, popular titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey have shown significant performance improvements, with frame rates increasing by up to 30%. ryujinx shader caches

A cache built on an Nvidia RTX card might not perform well or load correctly on an AMD Radeon card. For users who don’t want to manage caches
