# BlueHeisenberg/SCSKiller

> A Windows tool that precompiles a game's shaders into the GPU driver cache ahead of time to remove shader compilation stutter during play. Supports DirectX 12 and DirectX 11 on NVIDIA and AMD.

## Useful for

- Compile shaders of installed Steam, Epic and GOG games before launching them
- Record a game's pipelines with the recorder when they can't be derived from its files
- Recompile the shader cache after a GPU driver update

## Why it’s here

- 24 stars so far today, about 46 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 5 days old and already has 73 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 0
- Issues and pull requests: 12
- Watchers: 5
- Average over the last week: 16 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
