By adding DirectX 12 support to Rise of the Tomb Raider, processors will be able to spread CPU rendering work over all CPU cores, without introducing additional overhead. This will enable users with high-end graphic cards but low-end CPU to run the game at higher frame-rates, graphical settings and other technical enhancements like never before.
