It's probably important to note which kind of caching is done specifically. Messing with Texture Cache Accuracy may affect the accuracy of EFB -> RAM when the cache is enabled so users should see the link between the two.

*RAM – Dolphin will download encoded EFB Copies from the GPU’s VRAM to RAM for decoding, and eventual reupload back to VRAM. This method is more accurate than EFB to Texture and emulates effects that use EFB Copies more accurately, however it is more demanding on PC hardware.

**Enable Cache - Caching can be used with EFB Copies to Ram to provide a small speedup. This may improve speed but may also slightly reduce its accuracy. This option is only available when EFB Copies is set to Ram.

'''Hacked Buffer Upload:''' OpenGL only. Uses a hacked upload technique to stream vertices. The OpenGL specification actually forbids this method; it may produce heavy graphical glitches, however, it usually results in a speed-up, especially for Nvidia GPUs. If no graphical glitches occur with this option enabled, it is recommended to leave it checked.
