Of the seven games in our benchmarking suite, four of them support the DX12 API, and we test with DX12 where available. We noticed the RX 5700 performing better in the DX12 titles in our suite, so we wanted to see how the RX 5700 XT performs when running DX11 vs DX12.
While the 5700 XT proved faster than the 2070 SUPER in just two of our titles – Battlefield V and Deus Ex – we can still see a clear preference for the DX12 API. Performance, on average, dropped by 12% when switching from DX12 to DX11.
