*Subject to change based on current Windows 10 drivers support cannot go down but some features may be added or emulated on future drivers.
It seems like Maxwell actually has better binding tiers than previously advertised but still inferior to GCN 1.0 even
tl;dr
11.0 is most important, 11.1 is semi important but not much 12.0 not really anything and 12.1 is nothing. DX 12 feature level 11.0 is whats needed for the features we care about while all others are optional features rarely used by devs.

If you are asking what cards support DX12 games that would be any 400 series or newer Nvidia card, Intel Haswell igpu's, AMD Radeon cards 7000 or newer. However many features will be limited on those cards they do gain most important benefits.

tl;dr
- Tier 1: INTEL Haswell e Broadwell, NVIDIA Fermi
- Tier 2: NVIDIA Kepler, Maxwell 1.0 and Maxwell 2.0 (Maxwell 2.0 still ahead of Kepler), Nvidia Pascal
- Tier 3: AMD GCN 1.0 & higher, Intel Skylake
- Feature level 11.0: NVIDIA Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell 1.0
- Feature level 11.1: AMD GCN 1.0, INTEL Haswell and Broadwell
- Feature level 12.0: AMD GCN 1.1, GCN 1.2
- Feature level 12.1: NVIDIA Maxwell 2.0, Nvidia Pascal, Intel Skylake & AMD GCN 1.4
