So yes, it's overkill and you have a lot of reading to do before you realize that. The texture work in game isnt even 1080.
Not sure what your mean with your top sentence. You simply cannot know how anybody can run this game with 4K textures because there simply are no 4k textures.
That said I'm pretty sure that a game like XIV will do well with 4K textures on a 1070 and higher (& AMD's counterpart for it).
