That's because Maxwell gets a performance hit when running DX12 with no CPU bottleneck, however that performance hit is offset and becomes performance boost once the CPU gets cornered. So you just have to decide: DX11 with higher average FPS and lower minimums, DX12 with slightly lower average FPS and considerably improved minimums where CPU would be strangled in DX11.Guys, to share, this is the graphs I get on MSI AB when running the Hitman benchmark in DX 11 and DX 12. The GPU usage is much smoother in DX12 but the true fact is that I see lower average framerates with DX12 for whatever reason.
As for the 1060 that's coming to you, Pascal has improved DX12 support relative to Maxwell, so even with the same CPU you will notice improvements.
