GoKawiilSCSKiller tool targets PC shader compilation stutter
SCSKiller is a utility aimed at reducing shader stuttering in PC games, a visual hiccup caused by the GPU compiling shader effects like shadows and reflections in real time rather than ahead of release, as console developers can. The report distinguishes this from frame-rate drops caused by CPU/GPU bottlenecks, noting that compilation stutters can briefly drop performance to 0fps, especially when entering new areas for the first time.
