In the video, above, you can see the UE4 Elemental Demo running with DX12. The demo has an FPS overlay in the upper right portion of the screen. Among the components in the PC system in use are; an Intel i7-4790K CPU @ 4.8Ghz, an EVGA Nvidia GTX 980 Ti @ 1366mhz core / 4100mhz memory and 32GB of DDR3-2400 quad RAM.
In the video comments CryZENx says that while the DirectX 12 version of the demo runs consistently at around 60fps, the DirectX 11 version fps sometimes drops as low as 42fps. This is on the same system, hardware, settings etc.
Other testers of the demo are having mixed results. Some have noted great uplifts in frame rates, like CryZENx, but others have not fared so well. Some people can't run the demo, despite seemingly having the requisite software/hardware. Such is the nature of test/in-development software.
