I'm guessing that there are Dx11 benchmarks somewhere to compare.
Heck, if there are no Dx11 to be seen, what's the point of the article?
There are tons of games that run worse in Dx12 than in Dx11 with nVidia, so it would be very helpful to have all the data here, not only numbers that can't be compared to anything.
:-\
I don't think the game even supports DirectX 11 (Windows 10 only "UWP" game exclusive on the Win10 Store.) but I could be wrong.

Good God man, having a rough day or something ? This is no longer a DX11 title, hence it cannot even be tested at DX11, only DX12.
As far as CPU choices go, that has been perfectly explained in this thread already, however I have two things on the slate today, see if I can get FCAT going and include them and try to load up the game on an 8-core AMD FX platform and pray the license still kicks in and isn't revoked. Contrary to another website, we actually do buy the an original license opposed to using cracks and thus pay in full. Since that is coming out of my own pocket I am not planning to purchase licenses for each PC we test on.

At least that's a bit easier with these digital distribution clients, just sign in on the Win10 store with the same MS account that the game is registered to and it should be there.
(Similar to Steam, Origin or UPlay really but - at least so far - without the extra DRM some games have that only allow I think in Denuvo's case the general is 5 activations per 24 hours or some such?)
As for monitoring tools no idea how compatible those are with both the UWP "app" nature of these Win10 store games or the new method used where the files and folders are encrypted by the OS itself via EFS so it can't be tampered with but perhaps there is a way outside of the game itself having the needed overlay support.
(Also uses some anti tamper DRM called Arxlan which I can find almost no info on aside from it's recent use in Mafia 3 and it's older use in GTA V)
EDIT: Though the exe at least and other files would be decrypted in memory which is why there's working Cheat-Engine scripts and trainers for Win10 Store games so perhaps that could be used by other software too as to hook into them for various purposes.
(Not my area of expertise at all though so I'm mainly guessing here going by what I've seen and read.)

I think Doom 4 did that.
Now that is kind performance games should have with those kinda cards especial with DX12, could this be the first pc title to be properly optimized ??

shame there is no factory OC'ed 980TI @ 1400mhz+ bitch
I know it does in dx12 RoTR, while 1070 is left behind even when max OC'ed @2GHz ~118fps vs 980ti @1420mhz ~129fps vs 1080gtx ~132fps
