What FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail Official Benchmark is

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail Official Benchmark is a free Windows program that runs scenes with actual maps and playable characters to score a PC and estimate how well the game may run on it. The score and rating appear after the cutscenes finish, but the result is only a reference and does not guarantee game performance. A character creator lets users preview appearances, including female Hrothgar, and save appearance data for use in the retail game; characters created in the benchmark may be carried over to Dawntrail. The software shows some visual enhancements from the game’s graphical update. It offers five graphics presets, up to three saved custom presets and an option to import settings from an installed copy of FINAL FANTASY XIV. A scored run automatically saves six screenshots, and users can save a text report with the score and system specifications. The benchmark and creator work without a Square Enix account or game-server connection. It requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and DirectX 11-compatible graphics hardware and drivers; it is not a game trial.
