For backups or sharing, you should zip all four of these guest and shared files together.

To achieve a locked, console-like frame rate, understanding and optimizing your is essential. This comprehensive guide covers how shader caching works, the best settings to enable, and how to maintain your cache for a flawless gaming experience. What is a Shader Cache and Why Does It Cause Stutter?

: Once a shader is compiled, it is stored in a disk-based shader cache . The next time that effect appears, the emulator pulls it from your storage instead of recompiling it, resulting in fluid gameplay. 2. Best Practices for Optimal Performance

Because background shader compilation utilizes extra CPU threads, processors with higher core counts (6 cores / 12 threads or higher) handle shader generation with virtually zero impact on active gameplay performance.

This is NOT the same as a shader cache. PPTC caches CPU recompilation results.

This guide explains what shader caches are, how to configure Ryujinx for optimal caching, and where to find the best community-provided caches—without breaking the rules.

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel , go to "Manage 3D Settings," and find Shader Cache Size . Set this to 100GB or "Unlimited" to prevent the driver from deleting your Ryujinx caches to make room for other games. 3. Use the Vulkan Backend

Open-world games can have massive caches. Limit your RAM usage via Options -> Settings -> System -> RAM Limit (Set to 4GB for TOTK, 6GB for others). Ryujinx will prioritize the most common shaders and discard the rest.

The first launch will take longer (Ryujinx validates the new cache). After 30-60 seconds, the game will open. The stuttering should be drastically reduced or gone entirely.
