Game runs in DirectX 12 (DX12) by default. Change it in the .ini file.

[Vidar]

You can change the game to DirectX 11 (DX11) in the .ini file inside the game's folder.

~\steamapps\common\Devil May Cry 5\dmc5config.ini

Change

Capability=DirectX12
TargetPlatform=DirectX12

to

Capability=DirectX11
TargetPlatform=DirectX11

Using SpecialK I could confirm that the game is now running in Directx 11.4. Could be useful for some people, especially for Nvidia cards.

[Derivat949]

oh yeah, that might help a lot
Nice find

Is this game just like RE2 where it runs better in DX11 rather than DX12?

Depends on your hardware

[!HotCakeX]

my AMD card R9 390X from 2015 can handle DirectX 12 a lot better than 2018 nvidia cards. i dunno why you buy nvidia trash and help their monopoly when AMD makes better products for lower prices that actually WORK.

From my understanding DX12 uses less CPU resources but you still need a "good" GPU and Windows 10 in order to really use it and that is if the dev implemented it properly.

In general people said that RE2 ran a lot better in DX12 than DX11, also depending on your video card some games like Rise of the Tomb Raider run better in DX12 on AMD than on DX12 on Nvidia.


Both RE2 and DMC V use RE Engine but there already seem to be differences between both games as some people have mentioned like like of 21:9 ratio and being able to toggle HDR on and off

Actually I must agree, I've been using AMD for years and I never had any issue.
Since I upgraded to Nvidia a few months ago I costantly have to deal with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ unoptimized drivers and a lot more.
My next gpu will definetly be AMD once again.

For which titles?

Since it seems that the RTX cards are able to run games better than older AMD or Nvidia cards, where as those older cards seem to be able to run older games a lot better

if u wanna talk about RTX then u should pick Radeon VII from AMD cuz that's the real beast.

but for me with R9 390x, i've played Far Cry New Dawn, Division 2, Resident Evil 2, DMC5 and a lot of others i cant remember, all on ultra graphics 1080p 60fps DX12 if available.

nvidia can never beat AMD in price to performance ratio. i had the money to buy 2080 ti but 750$ Radeon VII is better than that 1500$ card. not to mention the 16GB HBM 2 VRAM.

The drivers have different philosophy. One is different from the other but not necesserely better. Nvidia's drivers run high level APIs like OpenGL and DX11 much better than AMD. But AMD (usualy) runs low level APIs like DX12 and Vulkan better than Nvidia. AMD has horrendous OpenGL performance, for example, while Nvidia is absolutely fantastic in that regard.

AMD has been pushing low level APIs really hard in the past few years because they know that's the only way they can almost always win against Nvidia. You barely see Nvidia pushing DX12 or Vulkan.

Help? My system runs on gtx 1070 and i5-4590 plus 8gb ram and it gives me a Fatal Application Exit error

[Fujirama]

thanks, my pc run better on direct 11

[Padre Benji]

Dude, thanks a lot! This really helpful to fixing cutscenes stuttering.

Do you have any idea how few games on the market even support DX12 at all? And even then, most Nvidia cards STILL run those games better under DX11 than any AMD card does in DX12. The only thing AMD's GPUs have going for them are they are relatively cheap, especially compared to RTX cards.

[Sir Jack Hall]

Still giving me the same error. Jesus Christ, changed the .ini to directx11 already. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
