Quote:The poor performance in Time Spy is likely attributable (at least to some degree) to the fact that almost none of the DirectX 12 API features are supported by the old Fermi hardware. Some folks coaxed user1 into running the DX12 Feature Checker on his laptop's GPU, and the resulting list is an excellent exercise in the many ways of reading the word "no." Still, even if the performance isn't great, DX12 support for these old cards means that they can stay in service for years to come. Also, simpler DX12 titles that aren't as demanding as benchmarks won't simply bomb out on otherwise-capable cards, like Vulkan apps forever will.
If you've still got a space heater Fermi GPU pressed into service and your favorite DX12 game is crashing out to the Windows desktop, head on over to Nvidia's website to grab the latest driver.
