Has anyone noticed an improvement when running the game at DX12

[Pandemonium]

By using -dx12 as a launch command the game actually runs in DX12, has anyone noticed a performance improvement ? On my end it stutters alot under DX12 and this is on a 9700K with a 3090.

That is bull. The game doesn't even support DX12. It's a DX11 game.

The game runs with Unreal Engine 4 which has support for both DX11 and DX12, did you give it a try to see if it runs with DX12 on your system? RTSS detects the game as running in DX12.

Why the aggression towards the game ?

Do some more research. DX is backwards compatible, doesn't mean a game using an older version will suddenly use the newer one.

So could you tell me why RTSS is detecting it as a DX12 application running ?

EDIT:
You may also need to "educate" the folks on this thread on the bull that they are talking about.

I don't know what that is, never used it.

But, I dunno, maybe because you are forcing to run it in DX12? Doesn't mean it's *actually* running in DX12. The game uses DX11. Just because the engine it was coded in supports DX12, doesn't mean you can magically make it use it. That doesn't even make any sense.

There are plenty of UE4 games that use DX11 still, and one would think if it were only a matter of launch options, everyone would just use DX12 for the multi-core CPU improvement alone. But alas, this isn't how it appears to work.
