DX12 on my old HD6570?

I installed windows 10 insider preview on my secondary pc with an HD 6570. When I ran dxdiag, I was surprised to see DirectX 12 present there. On further investigation, I found out that Mantle drivers were installed for this card.

So, will dx12 work or is it just a luck-by-chance error which may not work? Does that mean HD6000 series are supported too?

I have uploaded some screenshots

go through this :
Don't panic! DirectX12 won't require a new graphics card after all | PCWorld

in XP era many cards were DX 9 complaint and later the DX 9 cards worked on vista with DX10. So all of the DX9 cards were compatible with DX 10 as vista DX 10 is vista's DX software bversion. But the DX 9 cards were not complaint with DX 10 means they won't support all of the features of DX 10. So same thing is happening with DX 11 cards and DX 12.
