DX 11 or DX 12 or normal?

[Gekko]

what changes

If your system supports it, Dx12 should give better performance; otherwise, Dx11 is the way to go.

Launching DRG in "normal mode" will just start the game using whatever Dx level you last picked/is enabled by default.

Safe Mode disables all mods and can help fix certain issues.

No, unless you want to use HDR; then you need Dx12 (and an HDR capable display.)

And HDR on in Windows*

To add DX12 can generally vomit out more FPS if your system can handle it. Most can.

You need something truly ancient or a laptop that can't cool itself before DX12 is worse.

From my experience when I ran a super screwball setup of a first generation i7-960 and a GTX 1080 DX12 made it so more poor old CPU could fully feed the GPU. With DX11 my CPU had no chance as the overhead for 11 is higher.

Dependent on hardware try both. (Game defaults to 12)

First launch is DX11 every other launch is DX12 (At least it did last time I tested it)

Play Deep Rock Galactic (Direct X12):
Uses DX12 API provides better performance 99.99% of the time.

Play Deep Rock Galactic (Direct X11):
Uses DX11 API older used when your PC can’t do DX12.

Play Deep Rock Galactic (Safe Mode):
Launches Disabling Mods
