The long-awaited summer vacation is almost here, Tuliyollal is approaching, and the wait will soon be over. Now that Final Fantasy XIV has a release date, it's critical to determine whether your setup can run Dawntrail or if you need to purchase a brand-new system.
Fortunately, the information we've all been waiting for was revealed right at the start of today's Live Letter. As of April 14, the benchmark is accessible, so at least you can find out before attempting to run Dawntrail.
Where can I get the Dawntrail benchmark download?
The official Dawntrail website now offers the FFXIV benchmark download.
A recently improved character creation feature—including the first-ever opportunity to construct your own fully realized female Hrothgar—is part of the benchmark. Just launch the application after downloading the benchmark, and after the installation is finished, open it.
Requirements for the FFXIV Dawntrail system
You should be able to run Dawntrail on the lowest settings if you don't mind losing some sharpness and distance rendering. But you'll need to be closer to the suggested settings below if you want to fully benefit from the graphics enhancement. Regardless of whether you're going for minimal or recommended, your operating system and CPU must be 64-bit.
