Quantized 6-8b models run well on consumer GPUs. My concern would be vram limits given you'll likely be expecting the card to do compute _and_ graphics.

Without a GPU I think it will likely be a poor experience, but it won't be long until you'll have to go out of your way to buy consumer hardware that doesn't integrate some kind of TPU.
