DX12 was a meme but is it now dead in the water?
DirectX12 gone AWOL

current high end cards can barely handle MSFS 2020.
adding dx12 RTX and more visual enhancements would make it impossible.
no dx12 is still the future
Carter Gray
No, it has a more standardized API making porting to other render pipelines easier. It has superior performance due to supporting various async render methods and so on. MSFS2020 doesnt use it because believe it or not, it started as FSX. Same engine but actually properly improved, not like bethesda garbage. They just didnt bother to port it.
Leo Campbell
It was in development hell so long they were half way through when DX12 came out.
Still heres hoping Vulkan wins the current API war.

even the 2080ti?
Cameron Moore
Seems to me that developers are more comfortable launching with DX11.
DX12 will be a patch in the future.
FS2020 will feature ray tracing so it's very likely that a DX12 Ultimate update will happen.
Jacob Hill
DX12 is faster than DX11. btw RTX is an Nvidia brand, the DX12 feature is called DirectX Raytracing.
Leo Martin
yes, it can barely keep 60fps at 1440p on ultra, and they intend to support VR in like a month or so, so it will be even more demanding then.
Samuel Morgan
DX12 and Vulkan are only faster if you delay the displayed frame in order to synchronize all the rendering threads. It's great for console peasants because they don't really care that much about input lag but for high end PC gaming it's pretty much dead.

good to know. I indeed meant ray tracing.

>1/144th of a second input lag matters
I'll never get these kinds of arguments, you have to wait for the frame you are reacting to to be displayed before you are hitting a button anyway so why do a couple of MS matter?
Levi Jones
It's bottlenecked by your CPU's single core speed. If you have an AMD cpu, you can have a GTX 960 or an RTX 2080 and you'll get the same performance.

RDR2 has 500 milliseconds (half a second) of inpug lag
Landon Kelly
One game does not an API problem make, seems more like a rockstar issue to me.
Evan Peterson
>input lag
yes that matters for FPS but a for a flight sim its barely noticable.
Xavier Sanchez
BFV has the same problem. Enabling DX12 feels like you're playing on an Australian server.
Leo Watson
I thought the whole idea of DX12 / Vulkan was an unused CPU core would be tasked, is it not load sharing?
Kayden Jones
You have no idea what you're talking about. Buzzy buzz buzzwords
Nolan Phillips
No, the whole idea of DX12 is that it allows you to delay the rendered frame while the CPU finishes processing tasks.
Most DX12 games have an option somewhere that allow you to disable this, for example F1 2020 has an option that says “enable async compute”. If you disable that option, it basically becomes a DX11 game.

full retard
Easton Nelson
DX12 is always faster on my machine
Xavier Brooks
pc gamers are truly cancer
Gavin Cruz
Rockstar sucks, it's the API retard, the same happens on Piss4
Angel Young
you can mute the application sound in windows control panel
Jaxon Ortiz
didnt it literally just enter beta for the "release"?
Xavier Ross
>Rockstar sucks, it's the API retard
Which is it? Rockstar made the game and MS made the API/
Josiah Johnson
Google "DX12 input lag" and see for yourself
Jonathan Cox
Not him, I have been trying that but getting anything other than people complaining without talking about if they are running vsync, gsync, freesync, nosync seems impossible.
I assume most people are retarded and very few systems get 60 fps in RDR2 so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they are vsynced to 30 fps creating a frame cue.
Parker Rodriguez
Should I be using DX12 in games that allow it or is it more of a hindrance?
Connor Nguyen
DX12 sacrifices responsiveness for higher framerates, it's supposed to be used on consoles which have cheap, weak CPUs to give console shitters the illusion that they're playing modern games. It was never meant for high end PCs and certainly not for Microsoft's flagship game.
Elijah Turner
use it if you want prettier graphics and a slightly better frame rate.
Nathan Jones
is there anything to actually do in this game and/or does it have any sense of progression or do you just fly planes?
Xavier Perez
>MFS has awful FPS unless you own a monster rig
>doesnt need higher framerates
what am I reading here?
Noah Allen
It has some achievements and some preplanned activities like bush trips. But first and foremost it is simmy. So that's a bit like asking i bought a Cessna what am i supposed to do with it. Fly you fool.
Jason Cox
Get a monster rig.
Problem solved.
Grayson Flores
Ok. This is what I got.
Adrian Jackson
you do what everyone does with their first flight sim. you crash a passenger jet into New York city.
Camden White
any drawbacks?
