FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail Official Benchmark
Ranked in PC Benchmark Software·Free plan
About
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail Official Benchmark runs scenes with actual maps and playable characters to score a Windows PC and estimate how well FINAL FANTASY XIV may run on it. After its cutscenes finish, it shows a performance score and rating; the result is for reference and does not guarantee the game will run on that system. The included character creator lets users preview a character, including female Hrothgar, and save appearance data for use in the retail game. Characters created in the benchmark may be carried over to Dawntrail. Graphics options include five presets, up to three saved custom presets and importing settings from an installed copy of FINAL FANTASY XIV. A scored run automatically saves six screenshots, and the program can save a text report with the score and system specifications. It supports 4K display, 5.1-channel surround sound, and Japanese, English, German and French. The benchmark and character creator work without a Square Enix account or game-server connection. It is free, but is not a trial and cannot be used to play the game.
