We already have all the shaders compiled and manage them.  From what Pudgie was saying it seems AMD is saving the compiled versions into a file on the drive, which is going to slow the deployment of our shaders.

I can see it speeding up games which ship plain text shader code.  That compile can take some time to do and you would not want to do it real time each time the shader needed to load.

Excellent timing for a related question I found this morning.

I opened the sysinfo.cfg file and saw that SHADER0 AND SHADER1 are both set to zero. Is this what it should be and if not, is there something I need to be doing? Upgrading? LOL

sysinfo.cfg

VERSION,1
SURVEY,1
DEVICE0,NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
SHADER0,00000000
DEVICE1,NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
SHADER1,00000000
CPU,Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz (That's a PCIe2 bus)
CNTRL0,CH PRO THROTTLE USB
CNTRL1,CH PRO PEDALS USB
CNTRL2,CH FIGHTERSTICK USB
OP_SYS,Major 6 Minor 1 (Win 7)
Easy in-game again.

Update:

Just ran the game some this evening & caught my vid card driver actually caching shaders while playing........
Now the .bin file wasn't very large (64 K) but this will cause a slowdown so now that I have witnessed this going on I have disabled Shader Cache in the Crimson Global driver & deleted all .bin files in the DxCache file on my SSD.

Good to go on this now.

FYI.......................... ....

For the PC retarded what do I have to do to my GTX 680 to run DX11 to stop stutters.

There are no pies stored in this plane overnight

The GTX 680 is about the same performance as a 750Ti so I should there should be a number of players who can comment on what they have done to maintain performance levels.

Pretty sure you will not be able to run with the default settings and maintain a steady frame rate in all conditions.

The DX9 version would run better for that card.
