Wonder if the DX12 support is a 'Hackenstein' with feature creep.

Hopefully the DX12 renderpath has roughly the same featureset and yields improved performance on most GCN-based cards, Pascal, and probably Maxwell. The lack of support for their DX12 path on Kepler and earlier isn't a big loss because they aren't likely to make any real gains over DX11 on those chips.

Pascal and Maxwell do support DX12 it just happens that AMD drivers suck.

Nobody said they didn't support DX12. Civ VI doesn't support DX12 yet. We're talking about how they're adding DX12 to Civ VI, and it will work on Pascal and Maxwell. What does AMD's drivers have to do with anything? Besides, Nvidia drivers have had their fair share of issues. I've dealt with about the same amount of problems from both firms drivers in recent years. Maybe fanboys have a tendency to ignore issues present in one camp or the other, probably doesn't help that Nvidia tends to avoid publishing known issues.
