April 14th marks the day you can join fellow adventurers in preparing for the next chapter of FF14. Get the Dawntrail Benchmark software and see if your rig is up to the challenge!

During the 14-hour stream and Live Letter, Yoshi-P announced the official benchmark times and dates. So let's go over everything you need to know about it!

The official Benchmark software will be released on April 14th at 12 am PT / 3 am ET.

By using the Benchmark software, you will have the opportunity to test your computer and ensure it can run the game with its new and updated graphics.

The Dawntrail Benchmark will feature the new graphical updates and a character creation tool that includes female Hrothgar! You will be able to save the appearance of your female Hrothgar and use it directly when you switch your race at launch. 

Keep in mind, though, that the Benchmark is a special piece of software that you will need to download; it is not a trial version and will not allow you to play Final Fantasy XIV. It will simply run models, effects, and more to test your computer, informing you if your PC can handle the new graphics and the settings at which you can play Dawntrail.

You can check out the Benchmark trailer below.

The software can be downloaded on the official website here: Dawntrail Benchmark

Once you have access to the Benchmark, follow these instructions:

  • Download the ZIP file.
  • Uncompress the ZIP file.
  • Execute the EXE file.
  • Select the language to display, read through the Software License Agreement, and use the software.
  • Start the Benchmark.
  • If your PC cannot fulfill the system requirements to run it, the program will automatically close. This means you will need to update your PC before the launch if you want to play Dawntrail.
  • After accepting the terms of the Software License Agreement, a launcher window for the benchmark will appear. Here, you can adjust various settings for the cutscenes used to measure system performance
  • Change the graphics settings to the level at which you would like to benchmark your system.
  • Start cutscene playback and measure your system's performance.
  • When the cutscenes end, the launcher will reappear and display your benchmark results.

After testing, feel free to share your Benchmark scores on social media! We encourage you to participate in the test, as it is a great way to determine whether your computer can handle the new graphics and how well it performs.

Used to make a female hrothgar. Still need to test my main rig on this. I did test one machine thus far, it crashed mid benchmark (maybe it's a driver issue, 7800XT OC ramped up and crashed mid benchmark). Better to see now if anything has issues.

The female Hrothgar look... surprisingly good. Wasn't expecting that.

      By Jaym0
      If you have not ventured into the new Yuweyawata Field Station, here is what you are missing out on!
      Patch 7.1 Crossroads was released this month, and it came with various new content, including a brand new dungeon: the Yuweyawata Field Station! 
      Final Fantasy XIV Dungeons always come with a specific set of gear, and Yuweyawata is no different. Here is a look at all the various equipment you can get from this new dungeon:
      Placeholder for tweet 1858903980505788558 Here is a more detailed look on all the various sets:

      Getting a complete set can be quite tricky, but you can use the Party Finder system if you want to set a gear farming party, making it easier to run the dungeon multiples times in a row!
