It won’t be superb, but it’ll be quite usable. You can probably pick up one of these for $100 - $200 on eBay, and it’ll work. For its day, a powerhouse, and still capable of running UE4 (my secondary machine is a 2010 Mac Pro with this card and I’ve run UE4 on it without too much frustration). The best graphic card officially supported in that machine is the ATI Radeon 5870.
