Ubershaders apparently not working with AMD Ryzen 5500U - mattkimura - 04-24-2022
I recently learned about ubershaders and how it came to be. So I tried it out today and hoped to alleviate the stuttering happening in Metroid Prime 2 which is infamous for its shader compilation problems. But the game still stutters for everything that occurs in-game, but otherwise the game runs just fine. I tried the hybrid ubershaders and I enabled "compile before game start". The game compiles the shaders for 2-3 minutes then the game starts. But unfortunately this changes absolutely nothing. So I tried the same setup but with the Direct3D 11 renderer and it's pretty much the same. Vulkan seemed to have been the worst one with hybrid ubershaders. I tried deleting the shaders in cache/shaders before each attempt. I was under the impression that ubershaders prevents stuttering completely, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all on my hardware. So I also tried the gamecube version of Metroid Prime 2 and it's pretty much the same results. So I came to the conclusion that my igpu doesn't support ubershaders at all. I wanted to confirm that with you guys in case there are any solutions.

Do the stutters happen at Native Resolution?
