BF4 DirectX 12 option not showing

I recently updated my computer to Windows 10 and updated my amd drivers to the latest version made for windows 10, after checking through the Run program in windows, It says I am running DirectX version 12.

However, when I log into battlefield 4 and go to my video options, the only API options are: Mantle, Direct 3D 11 (I am assuming that's direct x 11)

So can you run bf4 with direct x 12, I am fairly certain you can because, during the windows 10 technical preview I saw several articles talking about the performance increases that direct x 12 does to bf4.

So Where's the direct x 12 option? 

I have a R9 270 and an I7 4790

  • BF4 is a DirectX11 game, just because DirectX12 is now out that doesn't change that. So no, it's not supposed to show DirectX12. DX12 might give performance improvements even when running in DX11 mode but still.
