If you're running Windows 10 with DirectX 12 and have compatible hardware.
From my tests so far in BFA, WoW runs a LOT worse under DX12 than DX11. I feel like you'd be better off playing on DX11 with the poor multicore scaling over the big performance hit the DX12 implementation gives.

The DX11 is atleast matured and better supported in drivers. Maybe AMD RX users will see a benefit? They usually gain more from DX12. Across multiple Nvidia cards WoW has played worse in DX12 than 11 for me tho


I like the part where you completely ignore him saying "this is what is coming" (future tense), ignore the *changes* for 8.1 (do you know what changes are?) and then go on to talk about how DX12 is bad right now, the present, 8.0, before the *changes* happen.
