    My nvidia cpl says I have DX12 installed but the card is only supporting feature level 11_0 (870M) in the drivers.

    They do. The most important features, anyway. "DirectX feature levels and point updates are not the same thing". I suggest you read that article in its entirety. It'll answer all your questions. But to recap:

    Fermi and Kepler support DX12 at Feature Level 11_0. Fermi has Tier 1 implementation and Kepler has Tier 2 implementation of Resource Binding and Tiled Resources. The reduced overhead, CPU util., and multi-GPU improvements of DX12 are available at every Feature Level.
