Resident Evil 2 Remake PC Performance Review

DirectX 11 VS DirectX 12 – Does DX12 Boost Framerates?  

DirectX 12 has been a talking point amongst PC gamers for a number of years, though even now games with solid DirectX 12 versions remain scare. Now, Resident Evil 2 gets added to the list of “games with a disappointing DirectX 12 implementations”, with the game’s native DirectX 11 version running better when we used a wide range of graphics cards. 

Right now we cannot recommend DirectX 12 to anyone playing Resident Evil 2. The game’s DirectX 11 mode runs better, that’s the fact of the matter. Perhaps things will change with future patches, but as it stands today Resident Evil 2’s DirectX 12 mode isn’t worth using.
