Nvidia's GPUs based on the Maxwell-2.0 architecture to support DirectX 12 feature level 12_0 and feature level 12_1. Older GPU support only feature level 11_0. AMD was known until now only that all Graphics Core Next graphics cards can deal with the reduced overhead of DirectX 12. Until now.
H has in an interview with Robert Hallock, Head of Global Technical Marketing at AMD, can bring in experiences that Graphics Core Next supports in the previously available versions DirectX 12 with the feature level 12_0. That all GPUs of architecture can deal with it, the manufacturers would not confirm, however.
Tonga and so also the new Carrizo-APU can do this in any case, as the GPU of the Xbox One and thus probably the Hawaii-GPU. The question is, however in Bonaire, but especially at the oldest chip, Tahiti, Pitcairn and Cape Verde. H tries in this respect still for more information.

The feature level 12_1 remains for the time being the GM200- who GM204- and GM206-GPU Nvidia reserved. For Fiji, AMD is not expressed.
According to Hallock, the absence of the feature level 12_1 is no problem in principle. So the key for games features are all included in the feature level 11_1 and 12_0. In addition, most games would already geared to the console and thus hardly rely on 12_1.
However, these statements should be treated with caution. As long as (some) a manufacturer does not have a feature, this experience shows always important in his view. The same has, for example, Nvidia claims the feature level 11_1, which is not supported by Kepler graphics cards.
