DX11 and DX12

Featured Replies

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!

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.

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:-

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 🙂

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)
