Running the benchmark in DX9 actually gives higher scores than DX11 IIRC.It will run with 60 FPS on Desktop Max most of the time, might take SLIGHT frame rate hits in really crowded areas, depending on your other components. With the DX 11 client, that is likely to improve because DX 11 handles resources better. I have a GTX 970 and don't think I've ever seen below 50 FPS, even in huge hunts during prime time, just hanging out at the FC, if I use unlimited FPS, it gets into the hundreds.
That's because there are new graphics features in DX11 unavailable in DX9 which reduce performance like HBAO+
If you use like-for-like settings and benchmark DX9 compared to DX11, you'll find when DX11 is nerfed to look like DX9, scores are higher in DX11 due to improvements in efficiency.
