Depends on the game/benchmark in question of course and what hardware you run with.
A 6700K wouldn't need the reduced CPU draw call overhead of Direct X 12 as much as say... The Core 2 Quad Q9650 I have, you already have 3x the CPU performance to start with.

Then you have the driver/GPU side of the equation, AMD seems to play better with Direct X 12, especially in games that leverage asynchronous compute.

Which is why I choose not to even bother with DX 12, as well as going with Nvidia. DX 12 is just a complete write off for someone like me, and the last thing I need is for devs to push it more, because it'll just hinder my performance in general.





Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
