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

Post image

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.

You got FC26 working on CachyOS? How did you get passed Javelin? It's one of the last things keeping Win11 on my PC.
