A system and a method are disclosed that optimizes a graphics driver. The system may be embodied as a computing device that includes a storage that is internal to the computing device, a graphic processing unit that includes a driver and a controller. The controller may be configured to run a daemon process that optimizes a shader and/or a shader pipeline for an application that is resident on the computing device when the computing device is not running the application and stores at least one optimization for the shader in the storage. The at least one optimization may be based on the application. The daemon process may further receive a request from the driver of the GPU for an optimization for the shader/shader pipeline during a runtime compilation of the shader and provide the at least one optimization to the driver of the GPU from the storage.
