Old 6870 burned out and ordered a r9 280x that will arrive in 2 weeks, whats the worst graphic card i can use that can run ffxiv in its lowest setting smoothing while raiding as a 2 week substitute ? Current using intel 4000 and it does not run the game at all.

I'd personally look for something used.
an r7 240 should run it on low settings(about 60 bucks)

you're probably better waiting up the next 2 weeks than spending another $70+ bucks but if not a r7 250x /7770 or a GT 730 64-bit GDDR5 should be enough the radeon one could be cheaper on ebay used
