    Hello guys!

    I have a GTX 970m (which, according to NVIDIA, is compatible with DX12) but I do not manage to launch the game with DX12 (it is greyed out in the game launcher) even though all my drivers are up to date. Is it normal?
    I believe I could gain a few FPS with DX12 enabled, which would be great...

    The game only supports DX9 so thats most likely why.

    Hey, how is it going? The thing about dx is; the game engine or app has to be coded to support an specific version of the runtime. Raceroom, as our friend said, is dx9 based... Maybe after the Unreal engine update, if it ever comes, Raceroom will support the latest DX version.

    What game launcher with DX12 option are we talking about, even?

    We are not.. He just got confused between having a dx12 compatible card and the software ability to use this resource.

    He clearly stated he has the option to launch the game in DX12 "greyed out in the game launcher".
