Hi Marco, then additionally Direct3D12 doesn't automatically "do more stuff" for you than D3D11, it's actually more the exact opposite of that, it's focused on doing less stuff automatically so the programmer controls more of every detail of what's sent to the card. It makes it more possible to fine tune optimizations at a cost of more coding work at the same time though. It certainly doesn't mean that all kinds of effects just come built in and happen with one function call or something like that.
