After updating a graphics driver, you may notice brief pauses or stuttering during game play due to graphics shaders still being processed in the background.

For best performance, allow shaders to reach 100% completion before fully starting a game. This can take several minutes, depending on the game and system configuration.

Once shader processing is complete, performance should stabilize and return to normal without further action.
