Modern games often offer DirectX 11 and 12 options, and Ready or Not is no exception. This choice can be confusing, especially for less tech-savvy players. While DirectX 12 is newer and *potentially* offers better performance, DirectX 11 is known for its stability. So, which should you choose?
DirectX 11 and DirectX 12: A Simple Explanation
Think of DirectX 11 and 12 as translators between your computer and the game. They help your GPU render the game's visuals. DirectX 11, being older, is simpler for developers, but it doesn't fully utilize your CPU and GPU's potential. DirectX 12, however, is more efficient, allowing for better performance through advanced optimization. The trade-off? It's more complex for developers to implement effectively.
DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 for Ready or Not?
The best choice depends on your system. A modern, high-end system with good DirectX 12 support will likely benefit from DirectX 12's efficiency. It better distributes the workload, resulting in higher frame rates, smoother gameplay, and potentially improved visuals.
However, DirectX 12 isn't ideal for older systems; it can cause instability and performance issues. If you have an older PC, sticking with the more stable DirectX 11 is recommended.
In short: Modern system? Try DirectX 12 for potentially better performance. Older system? Choose DirectX 11 for stability.

- In your Steam library, right-click on Ready or Not and select Properties.
- Go to the General tab and find the Launch Options.
- Enter your desired rendering mode (e.g.,

And that's how to choose between DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 for Ready or Not.
