GamersNexus has an interesting article on how Star Citizen will benefit from DirectX 12 and Mantle.
--> Quote:
"DirectX 12, as we show in our draw call benchmark, has the potential to massively benefit lower-end CPUs".
"Both Dx12 and Vulkan, formerly “OpenGL Next,” benefit games of large-scale nature by improving lower-end hardware performance."
Especially when you take the benchmarks mentioned above into account.

That sounds to me that this will make Star Citizen playable on significantly more machines than currently.
There is also a vblog interview with Chris Roberts on that topic.
Have fun

They haven´t even finished the optimzation and it runs really good on my 680 - even better with DX12 when it´s in
