This profile launches Rise of the Tomb Raider in DirectX 12 mode. 
Why DirectX 12?
DirectX 12 mode is known to have a superior performance for this game compared to regular DirectX 11. Results depend on your individual CPU / GPU combination though.
Instructions to make it work with 3D Vision:
Hit the "Play 3D" button.
Notes:
When launching the game stereoscopic 3D functionality in Nvidia driver is automatically disabled. This prevents a crash on game start. 3D is automatically re-enabled when the game loads to the main menu. While loading you will see a 3D screenshot for a very short time. This is required to trigger 3D mode for the monitor.
Known Issues:
The game might crash on startup directly after seeing the intro logos. To fix this issue please install Nvidia Geforce Experience and make sure its overlay is enabled.
Credits:
•	TimFx7 who developed the start3d.exe tool used in this profile to trigger the game's 3D renderer. Tim also developed a script where I took some logic from to automate this DirectX 12 3D fix. Big thank you!
•	Lysander who found out how to fix a crash which happened when starting the game in DirectX 12 mode + 3D enabled. Great work!
