Make one wonder what really happen with deux ex and its optimizing

Well, The Coalition worked with Epic during the development process. I'm sure Epic has a better understanding of DX12 and it's potential pitfalls than Nixxes does. I also think it's significantly harder for a company to come in after a game has been developed and tack on a bunch of PC features, then it is to have them build the game from the ground up with PC in mind.
As I seem to say in every DX12 thread - It was pretty clear leading up to the API that it would be a significant increase in developer responsibility and required talent for a proper implementation. I'd rather devs dive in and learn it quickly, with DX11 fallback (like Deus Ex/ROTR have) then have to wait like 3 years for proper adoption.
I personally think most of these companies are handling it fine. As long as it's well optimized out of the box, or ships with a fallback (preferably with no reduction in image quality) I don't mind if the implementation is a little wonky. As long as it's improving over time (and as a whole it seems to be) it's fine with me.

What I don't really understand is why these dx12 benchmarks are all with huge CPUs, when it's demonstrated that dx12 gain is most noticeable in low end CPUs.

*snip, no longer relevant*
Nice to see a well running DX12 game for a change! I hope by the time the game's price comes down the W10 Store/UWP would have matured a bit too.
Would like to try this out.

Minor typo under table of contents drop down links.
2440P instead of 1440P
Shouldn't there be a DX11 to DX12 comparison IQ/FPS wise?
