Square Enix is gearing up for a big summer with the release of Final Fantasy XIV's latest expansion, Dawntrail, on July 2. To ensure players are ready for the game's first major graphical overhaul, the company has launched a new benchmark tool for free on Windows. This tool tests system performance and offers fans a sneak peek at the enhanced visuals expected in the update.
The benchmark software utilizes actual game maps and playable characters to evaluate the performance of players' PCs, assigning a score based on how well the system handles the new graphical features. These features include upgraded textures, improved shadow quality, enhanced material properties, and more, all designed to elevate the game's visual experience.
In addition to testing PC performance, the benchmark includes a character creator feature. This allows players to design a new hero before “Dawntrail’s” official release. Notably, the benchmark provides the first look at the new female Hrothgar race, adding another layer of excitement for fans eager to explore new customization options. Players can also import their existing characters into the benchmark, with the option to transfer this appearance data to the full game upon its release.
Players interested in preparing for “Dawntrail” and evaluating their system’s capability to handle the new updates can download the benchmark software here.
