    How do i force Minecraft Bedrock to run on DX12


    Minecraft Bedrock is natively using DX11 on my pc. I have a GPU that supports DX12.

    I need to force Minecraft to use DX12 so I can test out the new 'Vibrant Visuals'

    :)

    How do i force Minecraft Bedrock to run on DX12

    Hi Pixel,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you want to use vibrant visuals feature in Minecraft.

    This feature is only available in Minecraft preview at this moment. Can you please confirm if you are using using the preview version of Minecraft?

    Direct X automatically uses the version that is most compatible with your game and GPU. To ensure that you are maximizing the resources of your system, follow this:

    On Windows, press start and type in "Graphics settings"

    Look for Minecraft Preview, set GPU preference to "High Performance"

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Bold statement from CDprojekt red developer

    I am guessing you guys do not understand how DX12 works.. so let me explain

    The dev is referring to his own game.. Witcher 3.. which is pretty much already made ... obviously DX12 will not help push Witcher 3 to 1080 since DX12 is due out in the summer with the first full DX 12 games due out late this year or next year.. that being
    said.. you could say the same for BF Hardline... DX12 is not helping that game either

    games that will use DX12 from the ground up... from pre developing stages will no doubt be able to run 1080 especially with W10 and DX12 making the eSram easier to utilize

    but go ahead.. flame away...

    How do i know if i am running bedrock edition of Minecraft?

    Check the title of the game in your Games and Apps. If it's just Minecraft than it's the bedrock edition. If it's Minecraft Xbox One Edition, it's not.
    Ok i checked and it does say xbox one edition. I checked the store and it said there was a new version of the game available that I could download for free. I think this might be it. I was running the xbox one edition and not the bedrock version.
