Hi all,
First time posting here.
Just a quick summary - had an issue with an old SSD dying on me. This forced me to reinstall windows 10 to another less dead SSD. However, after reinstalling and making sure everything was fully updated I've found that games that rely solely on Directx 11 absolutely suck for performance (previously where I was getting great results before the reinstall).
After a full day of troubleshooting and installing new and old drivers to test everything - I've found that every game that runs in DX12, Vulkan, OpenGL etc run brilliantly (especially the new Back4Blood when ran in DX12 and some more intensive games) but anything that runs in DX11 hits a major dive in performance (the Forest, Dark Alliance, Destiny 2, Back4Blood - when set to DX11 mode etc). I've also found that DX11 games use 2-12% of the GPU while the DX12 uses anywhere from 60-100% (even if they are the same game like Back4Blood)
When searching through the archives of the internet I'm not finding many answers (mostly just people who have performance drops moving from DX11 to DX12 when mine is the opposite).
Any insight you have would be greatly appreciated - I've went through and updated my system with all the latest drivers (even testing older drivers to be safe) and even did a clean installation of windows 10 twice to be safe. So if you know how to fix this I'd be eternally grateful!
My specs are:
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H (with latest BIOS)
RAM: 16 GB (3200mhz)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core
GPU: Radeon RX 580 Series
OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)
I'm wondering whether or not my GPU is beginning to throw in the towel (It's been the daily workhorse since new and would have been replaced if the graphics market wasn't so skewed right now) but that wouldn't make sense for DX12 to still be working perfectly despite DX11 running poorly?
