Rise of the Tomb Raider DirectX 12 Performance Review

1440p Testing with AMD R9 Fury X and Nvidia GTX 980Ti

 

At 1440p we see a similar trend to 1080p with the GTX 980Ti and the R9 Fury X, with both GPUs continuing to lose performance when using the newer DirectX 12 API. 

This goes to show that simply implementing a DirectX 12 code-path into a game does not necessarily bring performance improvements, meaning that Nixxes will need to continue to improve the games use of the DirectX 12 API in order for the game to gain any real benefits from it.
