: Select Vulkan . It generally offers superior performance and fewer shader-related hitches compared to OpenGL, especially on AMD and Intel hardware.

If you have a massive shader cache (some games have 10,000+ shaders), loading them can take a long time.

Not all shader caches are created equal. A bad cache can cause crashes, graphical glitches, or even bans if you use online features (though Ryujinx lacks official online multiplayer). Here is how to evaluate quality:

: Always keep your GPU drivers up to date, as Vulkan performance improvements are frequent. 3. Managing Your Shader Cache
