Agreed, would be nice if we could save shader caches for such scenarios.

Not quite saving shader cache but AMD/MS are launching Advanced Shader Delivery on W11 soon:
We have partnered with teams across Xbox and at AMD to precompile this data and distribute it at download time for key titles via the Xbox PC app This approach not only gets you into your games faster, but it also prevents most instances of stutter that cause performance issues.

Will be nice when it happens but I don't think we'll see it on devices outside the handheld space anytime soon.

Hoping it gets opened up to full windows integration soon after, perhaps it'll get hacked/moded into Windows.

Hopefully jolts Steam into action too.

On these latest drivers, my PC seems to hard freeze randomly. Happened while at idle, then twice yesterday during Helldivers 2. Doom Dark Ages had stuttering which was never there before. I’m going to try to roll back to a previous version.

EDIT: I DDU’d in safe mode and reinstalled the same latest drivers seems to have fixed the issue (for now)

Huh thats odd it suddenly started working again I went through a number of options in the menu and ticked/unticked a number of boxes maybe that unstuck something. Definitely occurred after the driver update it was fine before.

I've had a few issues with the overlay in recent drivers. It just seems pretty unreliable now, and sometimes resets completely, so I have to reconfigure it. Thankfully, that's been my only issue, so it could be a lot worse. MSI AB is still my preferred choice anyway.

I find it's very flaky, Sometimes it will be solid and work fine for a few days, Sometimes it won't. Same with screenshots/video using the NVapp. Currently working fine though.
