Fps drops / stutters in some games after installing a new driver (then fine after 15 min)

[Wight31]

Hello all,

I dont really have a problem but im trying to understand what is going on.

My current set up AMD 5800x3d / 7900xt / 32GB DDR 4 @3200mhz.

In some games after i install a new driver games such as BF2042 / Warframe / CS2 / Deep Rock Galactic i will get FPS drops and stutter for about 10-15 min. After around that time it will stop and my gaming experence is pretty smooth. Other games such as COD MW2 / Cyberpunk / Starfield its a pretty smooth experence from the start.

Im wondering what is going on here? im thinking it could be compiling shaders as after i install a new driver it has to install them all over again?

The DX12 shader cache is compiled every time you install a new driver.
It is found in C:\Users\******\AppData\Local\AMD\. If affects some games more than others so will cause stutter for a while.
