Shader caches, especially for Vulkan, can grow large. Some games like Tears of the Kingdom can have caches exceeding 500 MB. This is normal. If space is a concern, you can periodically clear the cache and rebuild it, but you will suffer stuttering again until it is rebuilt.
Shaders are small programs that tell your graphics card (GPU) how to render light, shadows, textures, and 3D geometry.
Containing 90–100% of all possible shaders for a specific game, covering nearly every scenario. yuzu shader cache exclusive
Optimizing Emulation: The Definitive Guide to Yuzu Shader Cache Management
Enabling Yuzu shader cache is a straightforward process: Shader caches, especially for Vulkan, can grow large
Zero runtime stuttering. Because the Uber shader covers all bases, the emulator never has to pause to translate anything new.
Even with "exclusive" caches, issues can arise. Here is a troubleshooting guide: If space is a concern, you can periodically
