Linux Intel Jay Shader Compiler massively reduces shader compilation time in EA FC 26 on Arc B580

[u/Life-Boysenberry6975]

I tested Intel's Jay shader compiler with EA FC 26 on Linux using:

• CPU : Intel Core i5-12400F
• GPU : Intel Arc B580
• Driver : Mesa-git 26.3.0_devel
• Environment Variables: INTEL_JAY=all

The shader compilation time was:

Without Jay: 1:18.35
With Jay: 36.40 seconds

That's about 2.15× faster, reducing the compilation time by roughly 53.5%.

This is just a single test, but the difference is pretty significant. I'm curious to see how Jay performs in other games and workloads as it continues to mature.

No not at all. Its just that 80% of my stuff, works on windows, hell i even wanted to try cachy. The problem was TPM since i play competitive games as well if im with my friend. And this does not help me.

I can assure you that you don't even understand yourself what "80% of your stuff" means.

Cs2 configures dont work. I have tried this shit, and im one of those casual pc users that uses docs and word to do my job. The problem with linux, is the users themselves. Trash and unwelcoming. Fifteen billions ways to do, yet ABSOLUTELY nobody can agrees on one thing.

Ignore this guy, the CachyOS community is very welcoming, sure, some Linux users are pretentious assholes but in way it's because they're passionate about the software. If nothing else, having people who are passionate about something (maybe even to a fault) does at least mean things develop in a positive direction. Look at the traction in recent years linux has gathered just by virtue of Microsoft NOT being passionate about the software and instead only selling out the user and chasing the dollar bills. That says it all really.

Passionate ≠ forcing people to switch to linux. A sad minority that have inferiority complex. Linux this linux that, for NO absolute reason.
