DX 12

Why does the benchmark test show my system having dx 11 when dxdiag clearly shows I have dx 12?  I know the game runs much smoother prior to my upgrading to Windows 10 and getting dx 12.  Maybe someone can help me out with this as I'm sure I'm just misunderstanding something.

Also is there a place we can compare our benchmarks?

You must launch the game using Steam and select "DirectX 12" from the menu. If you launch the game EXEs directly it will default to DirectX 11.

Benchmarks can be compared here or in-game via the Multiplayer -> Rankings menu options.

Hello Mellified Man, quick question regarding Ashes and starting DX12 version... Is there a way do start the DX12 version by default via .exe command line or anything else?

I'm not aware of it but I'll ask around.

In my game folder I have a file called Ashes_DX12.exe. Tried it and seems to work. You will find it  in the Steam\steamapps\Common\Ashes of the Singularity folder where you installed it. Works for me.

 

I think you have to have steam open first to use it.
