What directx version should I be using?

[hedghehog]

I have a 1050ti which is advertised to support directx 11. When I checked what directx version my computer was using I found out that it is using version 12. Should I switch back to version 11?

 

Thanks

the game decides, not you, unless theres an option to switch between directx versions (say, GTA V and its DX9/10/11 support)

Yea ok, GTA V was the trigger for this question. Thanks for your quick reply

11 currently gives more performance than 12, so use 11, but 9 is the fastest (iirc) for GTA V

Right now DX11 is probbably your safest bet.

DX12 still needs to be polished.

While DX9 doesn't support hyperthreading, so I wouldn't use that at all.
