Unity benchmark shows 53 to 66% boost using DX12

In 2012 a Unity user started work on a rudimentary benchmark, has been keeping it updated to make sure it works with newer versions. All these benchmarks have been run on the same PC.

Unity with DX12 support is still in Beta and has just been released to the public yesterday, so these results are pretty impressive considering how long DX11 performance has been out and refined.

(Unity) 5.4b10 Running 3 x Fantastic @ 2560 x 1600 full screen on my PC. (DX 12)

Unity Version > 4.5 / 4.6 / 4.6.1 / 4.6.2 / 4.6.3 / 5.0.0 / 5.1 / 5.2 / 5.2.2 / 5.3 / 5.3.1 / 5.3.4 / 5.4 (DX12)
30 fps > 51,716 / 48,853 / 48,254 / 48,681 / 49,835 / 59,498 / 53,177 / 55,370 / 56,120 / 57,718 / 53,106 / 51,234 / 85,418
60 fps > 42,230 / 39,983 / 39,337 / 39,490 / 40,723 / 46,899 / 51,693 / 53,705 / 53,976 / 56,026 / 44,174 / 49,885 / 82,719

So about 53% to 66% faster.

Note this is without instancing shaders being used.
