That's rather optimistic with that aging GPU. Upgrading to something like an Intel B580 (a $250 upgrade) would give it a second life however.

The B580 barely competes with a GTX1080, which I am still using.

the idea of buying a new modern card having barely the performance of a card from a decade ago seems absurd on its face.

That's nonsense, the B580 is substantially faster.
