In Battlefield V, I had the same problem with dropping the fps, but when I changed to DX11 everything was fine .... Many people also had this problem.
it makes no sense to implement also DX11 into the game, this would not bring any performance bonus here, also DX11 handles request for graphics totally different
Implementing DX11 is imho a waste of resource at this point, this resource are more needed to optimizing the game
In the past DX11 has worked better because games where build around this API and then they implement DX12 afterwards, but then you had not really the advantages off all DX12 features nd made more problems (most of the times on old systems)
Also, DX11 is well known because it was released in 2008, DX12 came out 15 and got the last major update to DX12 ultimate in 2020
DX12 is a low-level API and give the developers the power to control the hardware resources for CPU and GPU much better
Games with both APIs had DX12 most of the time only for RayTracing features (I think with support of nVidia or AMD)
So now the developers are facing new problems and need to start from the scratch with building games around DX12 but when they get into it DX12, it should work way better than DX11
And If I had read it correct there are only a few games with DX12 only implementation at the moment and most of them where released 2020 and 2021.
So lets hope DICE get into it and the performance get up but with a game like BF2042 you should alöso consider that 124 player needs always more CPU and GPU power.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think they'll pay attention like they did with Battlefield 1 and 5.I have a decent machine and I play everything at the lowest settings, all my components do not rise above 65 degrees. These are: I7 9700k ( 4.60 Ghz ) 1070TI 8GB,16GB ram ( 3200Mhz ) I just want to play my favorite game normally without having drop fps......BF1 and BFV where in the core DX11 games with some DX12 features, also there where much less soldiers on the map which needed to be utilized by the CPU.
So that is why I have written that DICE needs to get used to DX12 so that they can optimized BF2042 much more
For example, since Patch 3 my CPU utilise at 100% but my graphics cards runs at 50% (with some spikes now and then) but it should be more 60-70% CPU and 100% GPU

i7-10700
