It's all great that DX12 will be supported at launch but will it do anything? Most games that have DX12 right now either run worse or exactly the same. There a few titles that improve performance a bit on AMD cards, but do nothing on Nvidia cards. As it stands, DX12 is not the revolutionary tech we all expected it to be, and publishers/devs announcing DX12 support is more of for marketing hype than anything else. On the other hand, Vulkan is much more exciting, if they announced Vulkan support I'd be on board with it, but at the moment, DX12, meh.

Good thing they included dx11 as well so we can compare.

Maybe not more fps, but better cpu usage? So the card type doesn't matter, I thought the main benefit of 12 is more consistent cpu support. Of course it would be nice if 12 always resulted in higher fps, instead of sometimes worse, though.

One of the weird things I noticed is increased CPU usage with DX12, but no actual performance improvement despite that increased usage. Which begs the question, why should I stress my CPU harder if I don't gain anything from it? Increased power consumption and heat generation but no performance improvement doesn't really put DX12 in a good light.

Higher lowest/lower fps, overall smoother experience, that is what dx12 does at my end.
