There will always be games that don't need the grunt of a modern GPU and can do with more abstraction (Stardew Valley and the likes), but DX11 doesn't stop to exist.
However, regardless of what you think about the current state of Hitman and DX12, one can still see the following ratio:
980 Ti is 25% faster than 980 in 1080p DX11
980 Ti is 33% faster than 980 in 1080p DX12

You're free to say that this is a single event but I'm certain that we can dig up more evidence that Nvidia too is seeing scaling issues with DX11 today.

DX11:
GTX980TI 85FPS
GTX980 68FPS
390X 87FPS
290X 78FPS
DX12:
GTX980TI 76FPS
GTX980 62 FPS
390X 82FPS
290X 75FPS
Sure looks great doesn't it.
