Directx 11.3 instead of 12

[Hansuke12312]

I have an issue where my gtx 970 and windows 10 are running dx 11.3 instead of the 12 i was promised. By any chance do you know if there's a fix to this?

Thank you so much for your help!

There are no actual games/software that have been coded for DX12 yet.

I understand, but. I really want this to work, i like future proofness. I need to know if i will be getting it anytime soon or if i can get it now

Where did you get that you are running DX 11.3? Your GFX supports DX12 and as soon as any games that support it come out (when don't know when yet) you are good to go.

Oh, so basically it doesn't matter if i have it on my pc at the moment? Will the game supporting dx12 download dx12 as well for me? Well then, that's a relief. And btw i got the dx info by running dxdiag. Clearly says Directx 11.3

Strange, did you install the latest driver for Windows 10 from nVidia? I have a R9 290x and it says DX12 on the dxdiag, had to download a new driver after upgrading.

You can use 3DMARK to test your DX12: http://www.futuremark.com/pressreleases/compare-directx-12-mantle-and-directx-11-with-3dmark

The guy is asking why 11.3 is showing in dxdiag instead of 12.

Turn off MFAA globally:

Worked for me

I am having the same problem, did you (or anybody else) find a solution? I've read other blogs too that say to turn off mfaa in nvidia control panel and that doesn't work for me. I am running a gtx 960 and just upgraded to windows 10 yesterday, my gtx 960 says directx 12 right on the box it came in. Also, nvidia control panel system information says directx runtime version: 12 and dxdiag says 11.3

Update:

As of driver 355.60 this problem is no more - you can re-enable MFAA globally and DirectX 12 will work.
