Play with DX11 or DX12 on?

^ intel and nvidia owner here. Which DX is best for me. (I7 6700k, gtx 1080).

Capped fps @ 60 with nvidia inspector. Game is on dx 12 for further testing. Smoothnes, no stuttering, good fps achieved. Now I can focus on building my empire. Thanks for everybodys input. I capped fps to keep temperatures at around 72.l degrees.

i get crashes with dx12 on first gen i7 with a 1080ti

Yea I did notice my cpu was getting up to 77 so a bit high, as I wouldn't want it to go over 80 for sure. I am going to clean my fans and dust and it should get it back down probably. GPU is great not going above 75.

Yeah, same here with same GPU.

I have better results in DX11 with a 1070 GPU and an i5-7400 3GHz CPU.

Using stock Anno 1800 benchmarks settings in 1080p :

DX12 vs DX11 :
Sequence 12 - 81.88 vs 91.08 FPS
Sequence 13 - 66.57 vs 69.12 FPS
Sequence 14 - 66.79 vs 68.02 FPS

DX12 Performed first so no thermal throttle.

Settings: Water: 2, Lighting: 3, Shadow: 4, Terrain: 2, Texture: 2, Anti-Aliasing: 3, Shader: 2, PostEffects: 1, VSYNC: 0, Object: 4, ViewDistance: 4, Upscaling: 0

In details, here are 3 times the exact same gameplay representative benchmark of the same city flew the same way but from further each three paragraph.

DX12 vs DX11
Run 0 - 82.81 vs 91.65 FPS
Run 1 - 81.54 vs 90.80 FPS
Run 2 - 81.30 vs 90.78 FPS

Run 0 - 65.30 vs 68.01 FPS
Run 1 - 67.24 vs 69.77 FPS
Run 2 - 67.17 vs 69.58 FPS

Run 0 - 66.05 vs 67.39 FPS
Run 1 - 67.17 vs 68.40 FPS
Run 2 - 67.15 vs 68.27 FPS

The real answer is just use the supplied benchmarks and see for your machine which one is the best.

If you have an NVIDIA card, you will almost certainly get better results in DX11. There has been a problem with DX12 and NVIDIA since the Beta test, and it's been getting worse recently.

i had to switch from dx12 to dx11 because of lag and crashes, but i think my cpu is a bitty getting old.
