Does GTX 650 TI Support DirectX 12?

[Xsanchi]

Hi, guys! I'm wondering if gtx 650 ti would gain some performance improvements using dx12?

I've read that it comes with feature level 11_0 support with partial feature level 11_1 support. May someone explain this to me?

I don't think this card will support the extra features of Direct X 12 because it's architecture is quite old compared with the DX12 (about 5 years or so). It's honestly not too big a deal though. The whole deal with Direct X 12 is that it makes the CPU and GPU talk to each other in a much more efficient manner. It makes things happen slightly faster and you would see an increase in frames but it's so marginal that it's not worth worrying about. The big sell on Direct X 12 was that it was made for developers to be able to do things better when it comes to designing games. You would only see a really marked improvement in the really high-end cards.

Hope this helps
