DX

Testing was conducted in Ashes of The Singularity at 4K, 2560×1440 and 1920×1080 with DirectX 11, DirectX 12 with Async Compute disabled and with it enabled. At 4K the GTX 1080 lost performance with DirectX 12 compared to DirectX 11. It also gained no performance with Async Compute turned on vs off. In Comparison the GTX 980 Ti was also slower in DirectX 12 compared to 11 and actually lost performance with Async Compute turned on vs off.  AMD’s R9 Fury X gained performance with DirectX 12 compared to 11 and gained more performance once Async Compute was enabled.
