DX12 Support For Battlefront ?

Origin added DX12 support for overlays in the latest update, Battlefront DX12 support maybe considering that's the only real major title coming out soon on Origin ?

If I were a betting man I'd say it'll have it

Whether it actually utilises DX12 features is another matter. I suspect it will be pretty much the same as the DX11 renderer with maybe some tiny performance optimisations and maybe 1-2 token features.

stick dx12 in the feature list and hope it sells.

Token features, being a dice game theres more chance of those being broken features.

Along with ropey DX12 on off mgpu support, let battle commence.

Really looking forward to it though, hoping it's my game of the year, just hoping it works some of the time.

Well graphically it's already one of the most stunning games I have ever seen going by the beta so more eye candy isn't at the top of my wish list but performance optimisations through DX12 would be interesting

Indeed. 1 Feature from DX12 is enough to plaster it as a DX12 get the hype rolling.

No we must have endless articles, Speculation and tiny tech demos !!!!

I thought someone posted a Twitter response that stated it would have Vulcan and DX12 support a while back?

tommybhoy · 24 Oct 2015 at 08:59

Repi hinted in a tweet it could release with one or both, but wasn't very clear.

varkanoid · 24 Oct 2015 at 12:30

Yeah and in the BF thread in PC Games people were posting categorically and adamantly positively no DX12 support for it as Battlefield 5 will be the first to support DX12.

If they can sneak the DX12 angle in somewhere they will. It already started with the beta console commands showing DX12 renderer option

DX12 or not, anyone know a hardcore Star Wars nut who doesn't want a bit of that?

Having played the beta the dog fighting between tie fighter and x-wing was horrendous.

Can't fly anything BF related but I can dream anyway.

The flying in this is not really comparable to any BF i have played. It's much easier to fly but shooting somebody down in the little i played was not so easy.
