%localappdata%\Local\AMD\DxCache\ files

An investigation

This file is a stream-of-consciousness record [unfinished] of what I did when investigating the question of whether sharing the AMD caches of Windows 10 users, between said users, would produce a saving somehow. It struck me that the files might have been identical on different user accounts as my understanding was that shader cache files are dependent on a combination of the software being run and the GPU. In the case of Steam, shader cache files are downloaded and then compiled locally. It appears that compilation is on the CPU. Reports say that, on Steamdeck, Steam have chosen a unified shader cache folder across different users. On Windows 10, the DirectX cache files for my users amounted to ~5GB each, across 4 users that play a closely matched selection of games; so I wondered if I could save either the compilation time and/or the disk space for any of those files.
