I read that in the future there are going to be some graphical updates to FFXIV, and its got me thinking I finally need to bite the bullet and upgrade my GTX 480. Currently I'm playing on a 1440p monitor and I'm not even close to maxing out the settings.

I would love to be able to run the game on higher settings and see the world of FFXIV at its best. What card would I need to max the settings now and when they implement the graphical update in the near future? I was looking at a GTX 970. Would that get the job done on a 1440p monitor?
