    Although your cpu is still a pretty decent CPU and able to max most games with a decent card you wont be able to max FF14 with that CPU and get constant 60FPS not because the CPU is weak but because the engine sucks and cant share load evenly between all cores among other issues caused by bad engine code.
    Ive got an i7 2600k and dual 6950s and here are afew tests ive done:
    Test 1: i7 2600k(stock speed) only using one card(window mode) in city 48FPS~
    Test 2: i7 2600k(stock speed) and 2 cards in crossfire(fullscreen) end up with exacly same FPS this means cpu bottleneck
    Test 3: i7 2600k @ 4.5Ghz only using 1 card = 60FPS

    So yea you can see how bad the engine is when it needs a 2600k that is an high end cpu to be overclocked about 1.1Ghz to get 60FPS @ 1080p where in any other recent game with max settings i get 150fps+

    To all that say you dont need more then 30FPS thats true you dont but does it make a diference? YES HUGE the whole game feels alot smoother, ppl that say they cant tell the diference lie or have a problem with their eyes.

    My advice OC yr CPU abit although wont be able to cap FPS in some areas and get a 6950/560ti for a decent bump in performance since that 440 is kinda low end.
    Btw the new ATI 7xxx will be released in january.
