What happened to DirectX 12?

Last season (mercenaries) I played DirectX 12 and everything worked fine, now I have -10fps and the GPU at 100%, with DirectX 11 the GPU works at 45% and 60fps

testing - 27/10/2025

DirectX12 works just fine for me, whereas DirectX11 runs like molasses.

What specs do you have?
rtx 2060
i7 9700k

but not long ago everything was going well with DirectX 12
check your nvidia drivers

no issue with my amd 9800x3d and 6950xt in 4k
Everything is up to date, but it's still a bad Windows update as usual. It works fine with DirectX 11, but I don't know what happened in the last three months
having same-ish problem with cpu on DX12, it's always loaded upto 100% when switching zones and it takes 30sec sometimes, there was no load on cpu in merc league and zones were loading quickly.

graphics didn't get any visual improvements for such huge cpu load.

hope it's generating shaders and it would stop after some time?
