With OpenGL and Vulkan the shader disk cache also saw some upgrades this time around too. The location was moved, and the default size has bumped up to 1024MB, although they mentioned that caches with paths containing "/.nv/ will continue to use the previous default of 128MB "unless the size is manually overridden".
Yes, finally! Should reduce the daily shader processing after opening the Steam client.
Is this related to the annoying "Processing Vulkan Shaders" message I keep getting on every Steam Play title?
Yes I'm almost positive it is.

I don't need the mobility so I'll probably buy either a Gazelle or an Oryx from them within the next 6 months, but I'm really hoping they start offering AMD GPUs soon on any of their non-workstation laptops.

Quoting: fagnerlnIt looks interesting! The problem is that my CSGO partner can't install Discord on Windows (!?) it simply doesn't work. He used Mint for years, but jumped to Windows 10 just because of CSGO services like FaceIT, GamersClub, etc...
Has he tried the web interface? Just need to grant access to the microphone from the browser

These would actually be brilliant and make a lot of sense, especially Stadia because it looks like their only dedicated device is the Chromecast.
