For context: DirectX support in Intel's ARC GPUs were really lacking due to running on a transition layer, it was one of the sore spots of their new graphics card. This update looks like it will help massively.

From what I get and I only have a very basic understanding of Graphics APIs is that DX12 puts much more respobsibility on the developer which raises the performance peak one can achieve but it also lowers the floor of performance when you don't properly optimize code.
