I use DX12 because with DX11 i get big stuttering at the start of every game due a bottleneck. It's a problem known since amd driver 17.11.4

        It just takes some time (faster with an ssd, slower with an hdd obviously). Before, I hadn't to wait for a new shader loading every time i got a map already optimized, or even when i open the game
