    DX12 : Terrible performance!

    Hi guys, i've done 5 runs of benchmark on 1440p on Ultra preset (vsync off) with DX11 and another 5 runs on DX12.

    These are the results:

    DX11-1 90fps

    DX11-2 89fps

    DX11-3 89fps

    DX11-4 89fps

    DX11-5 89fps



    DX12-1 67fps

    DX12-2 76fps

    DX12-3 67fps

    DX12-4 64fps

    DX12-5 71fps



    Very bad results in DX12, much worst then Betas. And i'm also using latest Nvidia driver 419.35, the one that should "Provides the optimal gaming experience for Tom Clancy’s The Division II".

    My build: i5-9600K/RTX 2080/16Gb Ram



    Anyone else experiencing this performance degradation with DX12?

    Seems like a lot of Nvidia cards struggle with dx12 on Division 2. Be it bad performance or straight up crashing.

    Glad I built a Ryzen 2700X and Radeon VII system for this game (seeing as it was developed in partnership with AMD)

    DirectX12 still seems like a gimmick as it was hyped up to be something that modern systems could run on, and get much better performance with. It's also required for things like HDR and ray tracing. Yet it performs like trash.

    Maybe in another year or more all the issues will be ironed out of it and the performance will outperform DirectX11. But for now it's not worth the FPS drops and crashes.

    i thought the amd thing was just a marketting plot ; wasn't the division 1 with the nvidia tag instead and both games use the same engine?
    it's just whatever imo
    whichever company offers the most money gets their splash screen there ; at least that how i thought it worked

    I havnt played full release yet, but in the beta i also have the Radeon Vii and i got 80s 90s fps in dx12 ultra and actually less in Dx11... with the Radeon Vii ive actually noticed worse performance in Dx11 than in Dx12 even though Dx12 appears to be much more demanding visually speaking.

    Even the RTX lineup of Nvidia GPUs are still not DirectX12 friendly. Nvidia need to do something because AMD are beating them in this regard.

    Don't know what's happening but I am getting 80-90FPS on DX12 Ultra. Though i am on 1080p.

    Ryzen 2600+GTX 2070 latest drivers and Window Updates (If this matters)

    Same. I see better performance with dx12 vs dx11 on my Radeon VII. Saw the same performance increase on a Vega 64 also that was replaced with the VII.

    Maybe it works better on CPUs with higher core counts?
