How to DOUBLE YOUR FPS with a few clicks.

So you won't get 2x FPS always, but this trick helps a lot with FPS and is targeted towards older GPU's like the GTX 10XX and 16XX series.

How this trick works is we're basically forcing the game to use DirectX 11 instead of DirectX 12.

NOTE: This does not disable Lumen, it's just easier for older GPUs to render DX11 instead of DX12. Altough I can't test this, I assume it has no effects on higher end GPUs

First go to the game's properties > go to General > find Launch Options.
Now, in the launch options type "-dx11".












That's it. That's the entire trick.

Here is the before and after patch comparison. As you can see, this also fixes texture streaming.

Before Patch:

After Patch:

There's currently 1 downside to this. The window texture on the background buildings appears distoted (image below). However this is only a visual bug and doesn't impact the gameplay at all.

Update as of version 2.0.0: The windows now look normal while using the patch. Thank you Adam.

I Highly recommend doing this on older GPU's as it helps you get a better experience with the game.
