Why DirectX choice?

[Ratnik™]

Can we remove this? It's really annoying.

It's for older hardware.

If you right click ready or not in your steam library > properties

Click on the option to set launch options, and if you want to run the game only in dx11, or dx12, just add this to the launch options

For DX12

-DX12

Change the 12 to 11 if you want to always launch under DX11

Thanks, I gues, but why no other game does this at all.

Quite a few games do it, Tomb raider opens a configuration screen before the games load.

It's handy for older hardware too, not every card is capable of DX12 so it's always a good thing to have DX11 available to you.

Except DX11 runs better on new hardware and looks about the same. There`s really no point in having DX12 at this moment.

That depends on your hardware and OS and such.

For me, there's no real difference to me performance wise playing on either API's

If you have a 20 or 30 series nvidia GPU, use DX12 and turn on DLSS for better performance, more frames, less heat whatever you your settings for. I dont think DX11 has DLSS.
Its runs the game at a lower resolution, and AI upscales to your desired resolution and is pretty much identical, or better depending on the level u choose(it has a antialiasing effect.)

My hardware is as new as it gets and DX11 runs better. Except for DX12+DLSS on the performance setting, but the drop in quality is noticeable.

"Caveat emptor." kinda cringe, we get the point already
