Summary
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail Official Benchmark is a free Windows utility that runs game scenes to score a PC and estimate how well FINAL FANTASY XIV may run on it. When its cutscenes finish, it shows a performance score and rating; the result is only a reference and does not guarantee the game will run. Its character creator lets you preview a playable character, including a female Hrothgar, and save appearance data for the retail game. Characters created in the tool may be carried over to Dawntrail. The benchmark presents some visual enhancements from the game’s graphical update and supports 4K (3840×2160) display and 5.1-channel surround sound. Choose from five graphics presets, save up to three custom presets, or import settings from an installed copy of FINAL FANTASY XIV. Scored runs automatically save six screenshots, and the tool can save a text report with the score and system specifications. It works offline without a Square Enix account, but it is not a game trial. It requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and DirectX 11-compatible graphics hardware and drivers.
