Battlefield 1 Open Beta is live and supports DX12

[2is]

Just downloaded the open beta and noticed DX12 is a toggleable option. You do get a warning that it's still under development but it's nice that it's there. Looking forward to doing some DX11 vs DX12 tests over the next few days.

With DX12 enabled, I'm getting rock solid 60 fps on ultra settings @ 1080p, vsync enabled running on a Fury X with an i7-5820k

I just got the invite too. Should be interesting to see if there is a difference on my aging machine for dx 12

Not at all, just get it via this.

Still free via that link. So no excuse to skip out on the latest and greatest for graphics.

Noice! I got my invitation as well. I hope it runs well @ 1440p with a 980Ti.

DX12 in beta... NICE!

PCgameshardware's initial tests show Titan X running better in DX11 than DX12. No AMD tests yet. They also mention users having reported more often occuring performance drops in DX12 than DX11.

Yea, I bet the DX12 implementation is not quite ready for primetime. Good for first looks but not really ready to run if you want to just play the game. The Frostbite DX11 code is quite mature and will take time for the DX12 code to match it.

DX12 on RX 480 is running like crap. Cannot even maintain 60fps properly on 1080p lol.

Can anyone explain this behavior ???
its unplayable at full screen (watch the graph in the left corner)

Borderless

How do you get that graph to show up?

DirectX 12 is a cancer on PC gaming. Close-to-the-metal APIs are great for consoles but they seem to suck for PCs.

Aside from that, really looking forward to BF1.

Doom would seem to disagree

My 980Ti is only managing a solid 30 fps running Ultra @ 1440p... DX12 locked up my PC on my first attempt to run the game in DX12. Now the question, which settings will increase performance while having a minimal impact on IQ?

btw, check your resolution scale. It's not set to 100% by default. At least mine wasn't.

 

[Unreal123]

Wow even Fury X is getting performance decrease and stutter on DX12.

42% scale is normal. In this game, Scale 42% is like 100% compare to other DICE games.

Yes, like I said: these low level APIs just make more work for devs that should be spent elsewhere. Reduced CPU overhead? Give me a break, desktop CPUs today are ridiculously fast.

Really? How does that math work out? I'm not saying you're wrong, i'm just wondering how they came up with that setup.

@Unreal123: AMD haven't released BF1 "Game Ready" driver yet
