I assume that DX12 is still using just as much GPU but it’s not being displayed / captured correctly by the system? At first I thought there was no GPU Usage at all and thought how the heck they doing graphics this well just 100% on CPU lol…
I know the game is still heavy on CPU but clearly here it shows actually eating quite bit of GPU while showing DX11.
I see what you mean with the GPU usage in your screenshots. This is very likely just an issue between WoW and Windows with how the GPU usage is being reported. It is not clear whether the display issue in the Task Manager is due to something on the Windows side, Nvidia side with the driver, or WoW’s side.
We can be sure that your GPU is still being used in the case of DX12, so even though it is reporting lower usage I wouldn’t trust the Task Manager reporting to be accurate in this case.
If you’re curious, you might even try testing a third-party GPU monitoring app like GPU-Z for example, to see if that shows similar usage between DX11 and DX12.
