Maxwell on Windows 10 DX level 11.2?

If you run DXDIAG it will show DX12
 
My point isn't DX12, it's async-compute missing. But whatever. Enjoy.
 
This.

W1zz gave an answer a little while ago. I think it still holds true as of this post:
Um, NO. Latest GPU-Z test version already supports DX12. You can ask to get included in the private test.

Maxwell understands the async commands but, behind the scenes, it isn't implemented very well.

I'm not involved in the private tests but on Windows 10/Server 2016, I would suggest always displaying DirectX 12 (or whatever is read from the registry) and then put the Direct3D feature level in parenthesis: 12_1, 12_0, 11_1, 11_0, 10_1, 10_0, 9_3, 9_2, or 9_1. Maxwell would appear as DirectX 12 (12_1). Direct3D 9_1 is aka 9.0a, 9_2 is aka 9.0b, 9_3 is aka 9.0c.

GPU-Z is not reading this from Registry! A GPU with DX12 on a Windows OS that has only 10 or 11 DX will still show as DX12. If you do not like this, you can suggest a change.

Also, I think the kind of feature level display has a separate thread, here:

If you did not vote, you can express your opinion there.

Latest version is not the same thing as a private test. Current version is 0.8.5 which does not support DX12 which was the version that was out when @W1zzard made that post. So no, it's not supported yet.

Oh well, OK then. :) OK, since then things changed a bit. It may not be official, but it exists. ;)
