I know the release notes say Kepler isn't supported, but I tried it any way, but it hard locks just when the mission is loaded and the gameplay is about to start.
Does it have to do with the game requiring feature level 11_1, or would the game simply just refuse to start if that were the case?
It's a shame, because DX12 was a huge benefit already in Hitman 1 due to the better CPU performance

G4600 2c/4t @3.6

dx11 27 fps avg
dx12 38 fps avg
also less stutters in 12
gamechanger for me

DX12 helps a lot in CPU limited scenes in HITMAN 2, I got +20-40fps. It's a totally different game for me now. IOI rushed DX11 implementation with Turing that's why DX12 shine so much.
I recorded a benchmark :

Specs :
Windows 10 Professional (X64) 1809
Intel Core i7 9700K 4.9GHz
MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio
16GB 2x8GB DDR4 Dual Channel 2666 MHz (Intel XMP on)
Nvidia Driver - 419.67
2560x1440 (DSR) - GSYNC - 144Hz
Pascal GPUs benefit from these gains too :

DX12 implementation is not perfect since the results in 4K are better with DX11, and SLI is not working atm.
Gains with Turing are really massive in 1440p/1080p in all CPU limited areas, between 20-50fps, awesome.
Edit : For clarification, official benchmark score is not the best way to see the difference, which is why guru3d's test does not represent the reality, the difference between DX11 and DX12 with HITMAN 2 and a good computer is extraordinary except in 4K.
To better notice the gains, play the game, not the internal benchmark (especially Miami one).

Maybe Dx12 improves frame time or min fps and not max fps? Dunno...

Is DX12 mGPU supported with this update? The first game had quite a solid implementation as my CPU was severly bottlenecking my GPUs in DX11 wich was not the case in DX12. Very handy for 1440p 144hz monitors.
