Strange Times:

G4600 2c/4t @3.6 marrakesh location, all ultra dx11 27 fps avg dx12 38 fps avg also less stutters in 12 gamechanger for me

_Hardware_:

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 : [youtube=twxe7dNWeKE] 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 : https://www.reddit.com/r/HiTMAN/comments/b5p79r/some_hitman_2_directx12_benchmarks_massive_fps/ 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).

But but Dx12 is the future (laughs my ass off)

You can make a ferrarri run like a turd if you don't build it correctly.

Berke53:

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.

HardwareCaps:

The question is "how many companies can build a ferrari?" and "how viable it is for mass production?" works pretty well here.

Undying:

Its strange that Polaris does not benefit from dx12 in this game, most other dx12 games do. Bad implementation i would say, performance is all over the place. We can only dream developers will do a better job with dx12 like with Tomb Raider and Division 2.

Aura89:

There's nothing not viable about DX12 and unlimited companies can easily makes games with it. That being said, going back into a game that was built on DX11 and implementing DX12 into it after the fact, is typically why there are issues. Even many games that support DX12 from the beginning, did not start getting built on DX12 at the beginning of development. Like with most things, if you cater to one type of development, and add other types of development half way in, rather then fully support only one type of development, you'll have overall worse performance across the board. This is one of the principle facts why consoles in general can do more with their hardware, as developers only have 1, 2, or 3 types of hardware and software to build for.

Irenicus:

While Dx12 implementation is better in Div 2 than it was in the original game, it's still broken. DX12 results in flickering textures, crashes, stutters and more stutters...and lower framerate.

HardwareCaps:

Most developers even today go for DX11 over 12.

Aura89:

Yes, this is the issue. Sounds like you finally understand. The rest of your post implies you don't, but i'm hoping that first sentence will break through.

Denial:

The rest of his post is basically in agreement with the bottom of yours. DX12 hands the developer a ton of responsibility once handled automagically by Microsoft/Nvidia/AMD. On consoles with one standard hardware implementation it's easier to debug that responsibility, find the issue/performance degradation and fix it. On PC the same issue might present itself differently across a variety of configurations, requiring either a separate codepath for each configuration or "catch all" fix that may not be as clean as if it was with a single configuration - making it not only harder to find (you need to test all different configs) but harder to fix it once you found it. That on top of what you said (that developers are integrating DX12 after they already built the game for DX11) definitely adds to the complexity/issues. DX11 was always supposed to coexist with DX12 - I don't see that changing. I think most of the larger devs have been getting progressively better at DX12 though - Battlefield and Division both have come a long way since their first go.
