Will Direct 12 improve my performance?

Solution
DX11 cards will vary in support for DX12 features. Most will support DX12 in some way.
DX12 will require new game engines to take advantage of the new code and access to the metal though, so don't expect major jumps on current games unless they are patched at the engine level.

new engines like unity and unreal engine do support it and also driver updates will be put out that add support but I think the performance we will see will be more than dx11.
