Description
Game Name?
(F-Zero but appears to happen in all)
Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, properties, info tab)
GFZE01

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Until now Dolphin D3D11 running incredibly well since Win10 upgrade, virtually zero stutter esp in F-Zero, game I know best for it.
Following recent Dolphin update to latest build 4.0-8070, this is no longer case (nVidia drivers also updated to latest 358.50) -bizarrely all Dolohin shader cache files are now 10K(!) (prev up to gigabyte range)
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Play any game in D3D (OGL always stutters).
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?
In 8070. Have tried going back to older versions up to 7784, no joy (prev fine).
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
i7 980x, GTX970, Win10
Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
-not sure but can supply!

Try deleting the existing shadercaches in case they're somehow glitched. Changing Dolphin builds resets the shadercache (stuff like zfreeze features being added mean new shaders would have to generated anyway) so maybe something went wrong when it started regenerating when you upgraded. regardless, I have strong doubts that Dolphin is screwing up and blame the drivers for now.
Please let me know if anything you do fixes this.

Thanks, the old delete trick did it (thought I'd done this but had in fact cleared another folder ;) )
On the topic, what should the nVidia control panel setting be for it's Shadercache? Is this double duplication?
Is there anywhere on the wiki where all this info is?
Many thanks.

Closing the issue. I have no idea if NVIDIA's cached shaders are related. This should never happen, so I'm not sure you'll find anything on the wiki, either.
