Early results what is best combo with DX 11 or DX12

[Sunshine13 234]

So what are ur early results with DX11 andDX12 in relation to TAA or DLSS  for example

DX12 and DLSS

DX12 and TAA

or

DX11 and DLSS

DX11 and TAA

What were your best results with the 4 choices?

[Bert Pieke 7,585]

I think it will depend on your video card, as to which options make sense..

On my GTX 1070, it is DX11 and TAA.

still using DX 11 and TAA 

[edpatino 1,964]

I'm for now using DX11 and DLSS (Quality)

[fakeflyer737 992]

DX11 TAA for me. 
 

3080ti

its weird over at KBOS flytampa using PMDG 737=800 seems to be very smooth with DX12 and DLSS, but when I use the Cessna 414AW, or the Bonanza default, flying and panning is very choppy., never had that problem with DX11 and TAA.at any time.

DX12 DLSS with the latest game ready driver is maybe 5% faster than DX11 DLSS on my RTX3070 .

Not tested TAA since SU10.

All four permutations give me about the same fps, give or take 1 fps. I have a Core i9 9820X, RTX 3080, and 32 GB RAM. I am running 3 x 1080 monitors.

For me, with studio driver, DX12 (+TAA) was smoother than DX11 (+TAA).

Now I'm using the Game Ready driver, I have yet to determine things...

DX11 and DLSS (Quality) with the new game ready driver.  My RTX3070 temp dropped 20 degrees.

DX12 + TAA with the newest driver seems to be a bit better than DX11 with TAA. I skip DLSS for now because of unsharp glass cockpit gauges (moving numbers).

[Ohmsquare 101]

DX11 and TAA for 2D/1440p/Ultra.

DLSS (Quality) does not look nearly as good as TAA and generally I don't need better GPU performance as I am usually CPU bound. I use 1440p though and I have not tested it yet with 4K or VR where I can imagine that DLSS might come really useful.

DX12 gives worse performance and does not work with NVIDIA fast Vsync, so no reason to use it over DX11 as of now. I did not notice any changes to CPU performance with DX12.

I'm using RTX3080, Ryzen 5080x3D.

So I've been testing SU10 with the new Game Ready Driver (GRD).

Now keep in mind my sys is quite cpu-bound (spec in sig).  Most of you guys are now running 9th/10th/11th/12-gen cpu's so what works for me may not be best for you. Also I don't run VR so this is strictly monitor-based testing.

I'm finding with the GRD + DX12 + DLSS Quality, I'm getting really smooth, consistent frames with...surprisingly...vsync OFF.   I could never operate with vsync off in SU9.  It would have been a stutterfest.  GRD+DX11+DLSS Quality+vsync off is a bit less smooth and a bit less framerate than DX12 all other settings same.

As far as temps go, they are similar between DX11 and DX12, with DX11's temps being a tad lower probably because frames are a bit lower.  Temps seem to be tied directly to raw frame rate with this particular situation (vsync off + cpu-bound rig).

As for glass cockpit resolution, to my eyes DLSS+Quality is fine.  TAA is only a very tiny bit sharper.  On my setup TAA is very sharp and crisp, but the top line of the G1000, for example, is not antialiased well (jaggies) when at normal head distance from the screen.  Whereas with DLSS+Quality, that same line is perfectly antialiased.  I don't really notice a perf difference between DLSS+Quality and TAA, maybe a slight advantage to DLSS+Quality.  Now if I go DLSS+Performance I do get a frame rate boost, but it's relatively minor and not worth the trade-off of a fuzzy glass cockpit in my opinion on my hardware.   DLSS+Performance = fuzzy glass cockpit, DLSS+Quality = great.   It think the latter is the sweet spot for my setup at present.

Same here.
