Hitting 80c+ with compilling shaders

[killroy2963]

Since this new patch, my 7800X3d is hitting over 80c while compiling shaders, it's never done this before the new patch. I don't know why they can't properly fix these issues with compiling shaders.

shaders are compiled by the cpu, it's supposed to get hot during as it stresses out the cpu

80 Celcius is not shocking, and are you shure it didnt get this warm before wen Compiling Shaders worked fine (before patch 1.1.2)

Normal... Its a full CPU load intensive task.

If you've always monitored shader tasks in the past via CPU Temperature overlays and think this is out of the norm, its potentially an issue with your rig. (Check paste/fan speed etc.)

80c for 2-7mins on 7800x3d won't kill your CPU.
Every driver update which is less than 10 or a year on average for nvidia, expect recompile task. (Or just withhold on doing driver updates to avoid full recompile for UE titles. Your choice.)

...With all that out the way

I mean, folks can easily say this back to you,

"I don't understand why MOST (not all,) PC gamers in 2025 still don't understand HOW COMPILING SHADERS work "

Its basicly creating a Shader Cache, if you do a GPU Driver update, it will usualy also delete your Shader Cache's, so than it has to do s Full Compile again to create a Shader Cache (not smart to skip that, because it will drasticly reduce FPS as the game than need to create the shaders while they are needed.

Could be that the people that are complaining about there still being a Memory Leak actualy Disabled Compiling Shaders, and thats causing the game to crash, but thats just a theory...
