Watch: Deus Ex Mankind Divided DX11 vs DX12

By contributor-September 8, 2016

By: Colin Dooley Today saw the release of the DirectX 12 preview patch for Deus Ex Mankind Divided on Steam. In this video, we look at how it changes performance in this game versus DirectX 11. As you see in the above video, Performance (At least on our test PC) is slightly slower on DX12 vs DX11. It must also be noted that this particular patch doesn't support SLI/Crossfire configurations. As this is a preview beta patch we can hope for more optimizations before it gets pushed to the full release.

Test PC Specification:

  • Asrock Z170 Extreme4 motherboard
  • Intel i7 6700k @4.4ghz
  • 16gbs ddr4 corsair vengence LPX 3000mhz
  • Asus Strix 980ti 6gb SLI
  • Corsair neutron 256gb SSD X2
