what causes certain games to severely drop fps for a few seconds?
Certain games such as the re4 remake and stray, will randomly drop to 5 fps for a few seconds, then jump back up to 30-40 fps. These games normally run fine at 40fps but I'm not sure what causes the drops.

I feel like that is shader compilation happening on the fly, it should dissapear after an hour or so (when it all compiles).
Shader compilation is often responsible for brief “hitches” but they shouldn’t last multiple seconds.
Oh, yea you're right, it shouldn't freeze your game
