November 21, 20214 yr I am not tech savoy at all so I was wondering what the difference is between 11 and 12 and what I would benefit from by moving to 12 on my PC. Thanks!

November 21, 20214 yr Its a few topic with dx12. Check the forum mate. AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, MSI RTX 5090, 64GB RAM 6000MHz DDR5, Tuf Gaming X870Plus, 1200W PSU English is not my first language.
November 21, 20214 yr A better frame rate mostly, but it's deeper than that for developers - just do a Google for "Difference between DX11 and DX12" An e.g. below:- https://www.trustedreviews.com/opinion/directx-12-vs-directx-11-what-s-new-2922591 i7 [email protected] | 32GB RAM | EVGA RTX 3080Ti | Maximus Hero VII | 512GB 860 Pro | 512GB 850 Pro | 256GB 840 Pro | 2TB 860 QVO | 1TB 870 EVO | Seagate 3TB Cloud | EVGA 1000 GQ | Win10 Pro | EK Custom water cooling.

Thanks! To cut it short: DX12 allows more realistic shadows & reflections and better use of multicore CPUs, moving the bottleneck from the CPU to the GPU. But everything depends strictly on the implementation, if not done properly DX12 is detrimental. Needless to say for MSFS, stay on DX11 🙂 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber
November 21, 20214 yr to cut it even shorter: currently you don't miss anything in MSFS with DX12, (except stutters, lower frame rates, and crashes with Carenado aircraft) AMD 7800X3D, Windows 11, Gigabyte X670 AORUS Elite AX Motherboard, 64GB DDR5 G.SKILL Trident Z5 NEO RGB (AMD Expo), RTX 4090, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 2 TB PCIe 4.0, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 1 TB PCIe 4.0, 4K resolution 50" TV @60Hz, VR: Pimax Crystal Light + HP Reverb G2 @ 90 Hz, Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant, be quiet 1000W PSU, Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black air cooler. 60-130 fps. no CPU overclocking. very nice.
