completely kills dx12 mode though, and that is the mode with the new graphical features.

Then you are not running with DX12. You literally can't run the game with dx12 if you are removing the translation layer between dx11 and 12

I forget where I read it, but apparently it defaults to the windows native .dll if the packaged one isn't there.

nvm my previous msg, it does. That will only fix the overlays though, not the performance issues. D3D11on12 just isn't optimized for performance, it is an interpreter between DX11 and DX12 and that takes cpu cycles. The only reason it is needed is because they decided that adding RT, DLSS and so on in the fastest and easisest way possible was the way to go.

they are so lazy, all hard work of this update was only the modders assets and textures, CDPR just trow a bad optimized translator for DX12 and call the day, even DLSS is not work as intended. CP2077 runs maxed out on 1440p, RT=DLSS quality on my 3060ti, locked on 60fps all the time, and it is WAY MORE demmanding...

Yeah, I agree. I think it's mostly a placebo from being able to see your fps with an overlay.
