SHADER CACHE (AMD)

Shader Cache stores pre-compiled shaders so games do not have to recompile them every time they are needed. This normally improves loading times and reduces stuttering.

On AMD systems the tool gives you three options:

Options explained

• AMD Optimized
  Uses AMD’s tuned/optimized caching behavior (default).
  Can sometimes cause worse frame times in specific games.

• ON
  Uses standard Shader Cache.
  Recommended if you have bad frame times / choppy feeling at high FPS.

• OFF
  Completely disables Shader Cache.
  Not recommended in most cases (increases stuttering and loading times).

When to change it

Switch from AMD Optimized → ON if:

• You have good average FPS but the game feels choppy or unresponsive
• You notice inconsistent frame times

How to use

1. Open MPO-GPU-FIX
2. Use the Shader Cache dropdown (AMD systems only)
3. Select ON (or another option)
4. Reboot
5. Test the game that was having frame time issues

Warning

• Changing Shader Cache can improve one game while slightly worsening another.
• Disabling it completely (OFF) is rarely beneficial.
