A new Deus Ex: Mankind Divided PC patch has just been released by Nixxes which marks the official release of DX12 support, and adds multi-GPU support for the DX12 API.

　　An optional DX12 beta Steam update for Mankind Divided was already released last month. In order to use the DX12 in the game, players needed to select the DX12 preview Beta option from within the game’s properties on Steam. Today’s update however, adds official support for the DX12 API.

　　The new update also includes Multi-GPU DX12 beta support via a preview branch on Steam. Nixxes notes that some system might experience issues when running the game in Multi-GPU mode.

　　The new update also fixes a couple of issues raised by the Deus Ex community. Check out the patch details below:
