It never really took off, some devs tried to ‘tack’ it on as an awkward ‘layer’ on top of dx11 but it’s always come with associated problems such as in this game. A few games were actually built ground up using only d12 and these were very good but can literally be counted on one hand.

I'm using a 3700x and my gtx1080, and it's pretty good. One thing I've found, is frostbite loves cores. Going from my trusty old 2600k to this there seemed to be an improvement in stability and possibly minimum frames. Doesn't stop me wanting a 2080ti though (or a 3080ti
).
).I was being slightly sarcastic back there but yes if a game is built on dx11 and has DX12 tacked on it’s never great.
Games like forza horizon 4 are marvellous examples of what DX12 can do with 4K 60 ultra being easily achievable on a 2070.
Ah gotcha
Sarcasm monitor not functional today But thanks for all the insights nonetheless, without this thread and you guys, I would be completely non the wiser. Cheers again.

Tbh I find it very hard to work out if people are sarcastic on the web, but I agree, normally dx12 is crap (although I seem to remember it being something and support natively and nvidia don't).Ah gotcha

Games will eventually move to DX12 especially with next gen consoles. Its adoption rate so far has been terrible though.
Last time I checked I lost around 40% fps when I set BF2 on DX12 with a 1080ti.
Dx 12 was a god send for my last PC i.e. a weak CPU with a decent GPU at 1080P, the majority of games ran far better (except for bf 1) minimum FPS shot right up, overall the frame latency was lower and more consistent, which in return offered a smoother experience. I haven't really tested it on my newer system though as felt no need to, that and I haven't gone back to the older games to see how they run now.
But for games like this, that already run superbly on dx 11 on the of majority of systems, there probably isn't much need to use dx 12 unless you are having performance issues.
Also, it seemed to only really be AMD GPUs that benefited from it, it just harmed performance on systems with nvidia gpus (might be different with the newer GPUs now though)

I use one for flying, however you have to make sure it's on before you start the game otherwise it won't work.
I tried it before and it did not work but today it is for some reason? hopefully it will continue to work.
Using DX12, Optimizing shaders takes > 10mins for the menu and then runs for every level, WTF?

Man I can't believe I owned the game since it came out. A mate gave it to me as a B-Day present. I had it installed for a long while but never fired it, was into Anthem. I tried now after reading this post and boy I had fun. Not so much fun when high level players were killing me but still fun.

Absolutely loving this, and playing with my my son.
We tend to do co-op scenarios together to grind levels out on the various classes before we head into supremacy.
Hero wise? The only one I am any good at is Bossk. Most jedis, I just cant seem to get the hang of it.

Major update today, good to see the game still being supported.

Best to play some co-op to get your characters leveled up.
As I use a pad, it's what I mostly play.
