Microsoft has introduced Advanced Shader Delivery (ASD), a new feature designed to significantly reduce game loading times and eliminate stuttering caused by shader compilation. By distributing precompiled shaders alongside game downloads, ASD ensures that all necessary shaders are available upon the first launch, bypassing the lengthy compilation process. Testing on the RX 9070 XT in six games showed up to a 95% improvement in load times and a 33% increase in 1% Low FPS. AI
