Is there any visual difference between DX12? I have a 980ti, and while I still get >70 fps avg from the benchmark in dx12, I'm just curious why I would want to run DX12 over 11?
I only purchased and started playing the game yesterday, spent about an hour trying to get the performance in crowded areas to a solid 1080p60, but couldn't do that without lowering multiple settings. Surprised max settings are too much for a 5820k@4.4 | 980Ti@1.4 | 16GB DDR4. Doesn't sound good if the latest patch makes things worse, the game doesn't even look all that hot.
Looking at my CPU/GPU usage, CPU has even usage across most cores, and GPU usage maxes out whenever there are more than 4-5 characters on the screen at once. Have only been able to really play in DX11 mode, DX12 gets stuck in 24hz whenever VSync is turned on. Forced VSync through the NVCP doesn't work at al in DX12 either.
Very disappointed, thought any kinks would have been worked out by now.
Very odd. My 980ti isn't hitting above 90% using the latest patch. I realise I am saying this every post but do not use DX12. performance sucks.
Max out all settings, barring the slider ones, use fullscreen mode not exclusive fullscreen, and with things set the latest patch has smoothed things out for me. Before the patch my GPU was going wild, topping out at 79c, but with the patch from a couple of days ago, it runs 10c cooler.
My system has less CPU cores than yours, so unless the CPU is causing issues, I don't know what to say - very happy with performance now - hope they don't break it again!

Hitman (2016) Episode 2: DX12 mit bis zu 60 Prozent Leistungsplus - und Problemen
These guys are saying that DX12 version has worse texture streaming quality because of a more aggressive memory savings happening in DX12 renderer. Some new benchmarks with the latest drivers there as well.
What is the situation on a 970 guys? I'm downloading the game right now.
Hitman (2016) DirectX 12 Benchmark Review Updated
The new patch/Ep2 fucked up NV's DX12 performance even further. It's like they try to prove that they can make Titan X run on a R7 370 level or something.
Just got an update, DX12 now works, at 30HZ
They fixed DX11 running at 30Hz in Exclusive Fullscreen, I guess that's something.

Exclusive Fullscreen is still broken for me on DX11. If I run either DX12 or DX11 with Exclusive Fullscreen, it runs 30 fps and I get no sound.
This is on a 980.
Somehow it worked once for me, possibly the benchmark. But no, you're right, it still doesn't work.Not fixed, it's still broken for me.
Are there any settings that are recommended to turn down? Not too happy with the performance on my i5 6600k and 970 GTX.
It's not live yet it seems, so if anyone plans to run some before and after benches, now's the time.PC-specific Improvements
The Game Launcher now displays resolutions higher than 2560x1440. These options were previously available but only via the in-game graphics settings.
Fixed an issue where the FPS may lock to 60 after alt+tab
Performance and framerate improvements, particularly for DX12.
Fixed various crash issues when loading and restarting missions.
Just installed latest 3.5GB Patch.
Game starting in wrong Hz and locking FPS when in Exclusive Fullscreen is STILL NOT FIXED. After more than one month, they did nothing to fix this!

From the patch/DLC notes.

The benchmark sequence ending part is changed in v1.2.0. The results are higher but you can't compare versions via the built-in tool as it's not apples to apples. I wonder what's the reason for this change? To create an impression of better performance by cheating with benchmark sequence?
not even 60 fps on a 1080, damn, this game is a mess on nvidia cards
Using the same graphical settings, DirectX 12 gives me considerable gains in Marrakesh's crowds. Using DirectX 11, the plaza gives me 50-60 FPS with occasional dips to 45. Using DirectX 12, I get steady 70+, borderline 80 FPS. Anyone else experiencing this?

What card?
I definitely do not get 60 in Marrakesh on dual 980 SLI at 1080p even with AA off. It's definitely the worst running level for me. The school and consolate are generally fine, but anytime moving around the main marketplace, all those NPCs just tank the framerate. It's still above 30, and probably 40-50 in DX11. Guessing I get similar performance to the video. Also even if I turn the settings down it doesn't seem to help much when it comes to giant crowds and I have a i9 4500k or something that I just built last year for the cpu. The crowds just need optimizing if we want the game to run better in DX11.
I haven't even tried DX12 because SLI doesn't work in DX12 so I'd lose one of the cards.
Outside of your CPU being clocked a little higher than mine we have the same setup. Has performance improved at all for you? Really love Hitman but reading your performance issues is disheartening to say the least.Agreed, I bought it on a whim, and have 3 hours on record, so no refund is available. It's extremely taxing on one of the most powerful graphics cards on the market, and it looks like a best graphics contender from 2012. Pretty pathetic attempt at a PC game overall.
I still think the crowd hitching is CPU related, as I get stuttering even when dropping all graphics settings down. I do have a 6700k though even so. I might have to try and see if DX12 improves matters.
