Decided to run the Ashes of Singularity Benchmark on my system and compare the DX11 vs DX12 results. This is with my dual X5690s and a MSI R9 280X on High settings:
DX11 (high settings):
DX12 (high settings):
As you can see above just switching to DX12 increased my average frames per second by 41.3%. I also noticed DX12 seemed to have less variance in benchmarks as out of the 3 tests I did for each all were within 3% on the average FPS. DX11 had a variance over 10% on the tests with this result being the best.
For reference the same test ran on the minimum graphics settings:
DX11 (low settings):
DX12 (low settings):
With the graphics turned all the way down and keeping the resolution the same DX12 scored an average of 86.6% higher FPS than DX11 on my setup.
DX11 (high settings):

DX12 (high settings):
