VIDIA will soon release a new driver designed specifically with DirectX12 optimizations in mind.
NVIDIA GameReady Driver for DirectX12 games

The new driver will increase performance by up to 16% on average. The games that were optimized with the new driver are as follows: Ashes of the Singularity, Gears of War 4, Hitman, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Tom Clancy’s The Division.

NVIDIA has not confirmed when this new DX12 driver will be available, but a good guess would be close to 1080 Ti launch.

NVIDIA’s Press Release:

Game Ready Driver Optimized for DX12
NVIDIA also revealed an upcoming Game Ready Driver optimized for DirectX 12 games. The company refined code in the driver and worked side by side with game developers to deliver performance increases of up to 16 percent on average across a variety of DirectX 12 games, such as Ashes of the Singularity, Gears of War 4, Hitman, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Tom Clancy’s The Division.(1)

Since the first launch of its Pascal™ architecture — the world’s most advanced DX12 GPU family, including the performance-leading GeForce GTX 1080 Ti® and GTX 1080 GPUs — NVIDIA has continuously improved DX12 game performance through releases of Game Ready drivers. The drivers are timed with the release of the latest games by leading partners.

Good to see that Nvidia is finally getting their DX12 drivers more optimized. Maybe the hate for DX12 will finally end and developers can focus on moving forward with it and dropping DX11. Odd that so many people here were blaming developers and not Nvidia, just like they did with Vulkan on Doom. After a driver update it ran much better.

Guys, have you read an article to the end?

It's a summary of all previous improvements + new ones vs. launch driver

Anyway, it seems like it's for Paxwell cards only.

I have a 980 Ti so it's pointless to me then

I hope that it won't have hotfixes anymore.
