Battlefield 1 DX12 issue on GTX1080?

[Boris_12]

Hi guys,

Here's my rig first of all:

7700
Asus ROG gtx1080 8gb
16gb ram
win10

Got myself battlefield 1 yesterday, played on all ULTRA settings and 130% res. scaling on 70-90 fps smoothly. Today I noticed that I was playing on DX11 so I switched it to DX12 and it started lagging all over. I'm getting 60-80 fps BUT once in 20-30 sec I get huge FPS drop to 7 fps for 2-3 seconds.
That's really annoying, does somebody know if it's hardware/driver issue or DX12 isn't optimized well in the game?..

Thanks in advance!

All nVidia cards perform worse under DX12 in this game. Stick to DX11.

BF1 is quite well known to have issues in DX12 be it on nvidia or AMD card. it's like Dice is using DX12 as experiment right now (BF1 is their first game to use DX12). if you want guaranteed performance just stick with DX11.
