Update: DX12 coming to PC soon --> (Old post: DX12 is NOT coming to PC on July 27. Xbox Will Get DX12 First, Then PC Later)

That sais nothing. My Windows config sais the same, and my MX-330 cannot run DirectX 12 Ultimate.

Explain: there are two flavours of DirectX 12, you have entry level DirectX 12_1 which can be run on any video board capable of DirectX 11 (current MSFS)

DirectX 12_2 (that is: DirectX Ultimate) that is a different ball game alltogether. On PC, you’d need at least 2060S, or high end AMD for that.

My NVidia MX-330 system info (green tray app) gives more accurate info: Direct3D feature level 12_1

To go from DX-11 to entry level DX-12_1 is already a lot of work for developers. Suppose they haven’t succeeded in getting things ready for all different PC graphics boards, so they postpone the release for us.. OR.. best case.. they release 12_1 entry level and they don’t want to call that a DX-12 release, for marketing reasons, there is no “Ultimate” things in the release. In that case, we will see relevant improvements ! DirectX 12_1 is much more friendly for your CPU than DirectX 11.
