Good afternoon, Intel, wake up!!! I agree with you, DirectX 12 is performing the same for me, and I have an Intel Arc A770 16GB Limited Edition. Not only is the performance down, but even when I apply 170Hz, it only applies 48Hz. My native monitor is 170Hz 2K. And besides that, as that user or player said, DirectX 12 is underperforming, and I'm experiencing the same issue. Modern graphics cards, the A and B series, should be running at double the performance. For example, if Vulkan runs at 135 FPS with a B580, then in DirectX 12 it should be running at double that, around 140 FPS. And if the Arc A770 is running at 85 FPS, then with double the performance in DirectX 12 it should be reaching between 100 and 105 FPS. Intel, since you're at it, contact the engineers working on the RDR2 Intel XeSS implementation. You have the right to speak internally. We can't do that, nor do we have that contact. And as for contacting Rockstar, they told me from the beginning that they're technical support. Thank you very much.
