Youtube has few "xx games with this potato" videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsgYfM1cKw4 , looks surprisingly non single digit even in newer titles.

Please note that in this video the system is paired with a Ryzen, so the GPU is the limit here. Putting a better (cheap) PCIe graphics card in would have been very easy.

The best use case I see for this card (in the PCI version) is, when there is no other option to improve the graphic (no AGP, no PCIe).
PCI slots are limiting what you can throw in (shared bus, 25 W power limit, etc.), but in most cases it is better than the integrated graphics such machines usally have.
And if you look around, you can get them still cheap from time to time.

I've also watched this video and some other too. But I'm quite sure they are using a PCIe version.
Additional bandwidth can hugely boost the performance.
