Your 960 supports DX12 so your fine, no need to enable anything. Games have to support DX12 to take advantage, and currently only like 1 game does. If you want to check if your running DX12, you can type dxdiag in run and look at Direct X version.

DX12 is an API. It can't be utilized unless the application and drivers support it.

Don't forget to follow your topics :P

 

DirectX12 is only available in Windows 10 and yes, your GPU does suppourt it. It's not a feature that you enable, the game that you are playing has to be made for DX12. There currently is only one game that i know of that suppourts DX12 and hasn't been released yet.

 

However, it is something to be excited about, the performance increases are great.
