The PCIe link definitely has plenty of bandwidth to stream uncompressed video to the host system—and if that host supports P2P DMA, it's probably even possible to push straight to VRAM without a round-trip through the host CPU's RAM. If there's enough room left on the FPGA, it could implement upscaling and CRT-emulating filters to provide a 4k stream to the host.

The downside is that you'd need custom drivers and software on the host system to redirect input events to the FPGA and handle the video feed it produces.
