No DX12 Support for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at Launch
Over at its Steam page Eidos states that "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided," will not ship with DirectX 12 support at launch. The game will release on August 23, 2016 based on DirectX 11. DirectX 12 renderer will be added via a patch, which will release in the week of 5th September.
The Deus Ex franchise originated on PC, and we’re passionate about continuing to provide the best experience possible to our long-time fans and players on the PC.
Contrary to our previous announcement, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which is shipping on August 23rd, will unfortunately not support DirectX 12 at launch. We have some extra work and optimizations to do for DX12, and we need more time to ensure we deliver a compelling experience. Our teams are working hard to complete the final push required here though, and we expect to release DX12 support on the week of September 5th!
We thank you for your patience, passion, and support.
- The Deus Ex team

What the hell is wrap support? Is there even a single DX12 title that doesn't have some DX11 build? And I'm not sure why you'd expect them to go DX12 only, it would shrink potential customers by 80%.
It sucks that it's not shipping at launch -- but I'm sure the DX12 implementation is going to be good.
Plus we will not se true full DX12 builds of games from the ground up until we have AIB cards that have full DX12 hardware feature set support. Currently we don't have that.

I don't care much for it really, as I don't expect it to be superbly optimized for DX12. Pre-ordered the game from GMG (it was -40% just a few hours ago), if only the 480 would come too

Another game with DirectX 12 wrap support.Not fair.
Then could be another fail game like Gow,Tomb Ryder,etc.
