Good question, thanks Steve.

Still some confusion in the documentation at support.microsoft.com:

The following plan affecting trace flags are available in Microsoft SQL Server 2014:

9481

Use when running SQL Server 2014 with the default database compatibility level 120. Trace flag 9481 forces the query optimizer to use version 70 (the SQL Server 2012 version) of the cardinality estimator when creating the query plan.

2312

Use when running SQL Server 2014 with database compatibility level 110, which is the compatibility level for SQL Server 2012. Trace flag 2312 forces the query optimizer to use version 120 (the SQL Server 2014 version) of the cardinality estimator when creating the query plan.
