DirectX11 or DirectX12?

[Kastrand]

Which one has better/more stable performance, especially for a lower-ish end rig?

There is a good chance that DX 12 will give you a bit more FPS. It all depends on how low end we are talking about.

I got annoying sttuter every 5 seconds when playing this game in dx12 but not in dx11. I dunno but disabling CFG in exploit protection eliminates that issue

With DX11:
CPU 40%
Ram 2.2 GB
GPU 91%
FPS 70-90
Dips 30 FPS

With DX12
CPU 40%
Ram 2.7 GB
GPU 40-50%
FPS 70-90
Dips 30 FPS

Summary:
With DX12 enabled, the system ram usage was a little higher, the GPU usage was shifted into a "Desktop Window Manager" process, and was showing much lower in task manager. I have no idea why.

Kit: old Xeon 3.5GHZ, 1060 6GB, 24GB system ram, I was recording in OBS at the time also, for normal set up.

My game has crashed on DX12 on a few occasions while loading some map. I don't remember the game ever crashing on DX11.
I also assumed DX12 would give better results, but the performance for me was the same in both, but given what I stated above, I use DX11.

Performance is very stable in the game, unless you go near certain see thru glass doors (especially at the car dealership map) that seem to lower framerate dramatically and are a known issue many other users reported as well.

DLSS is DX12-only.
That's why I would always use DX12 when you have an NVIDIA card >= RTX2000.

DLSS is so powerful in this game concerning performance.

Hopefully they implement FSR at some point.

on dx12 some textures dont render properly for me
