Epic isn't finished with the DX12 optimizatrions in Fortnite, with the developer promising to continue "adding features to Fortnite that are made possible by DX12. Allowing players to opt into DX12 before these features are added will give us valuable information in our development efforts and help us shake out any bugs".
