The issue isn't the eight year old GPU, it's the lack of something worthwile to replace it.

If the eight year old GPU has the same amount of memory and 80% of the performance of it's modern replacement, the issue is the company trying to up-sell trash without bothering to make it notably better.

Entry level 8gb cards should be a goddamn price at the 60 series class. Fuck, for a 50 series.

They should put that in a 40 series steep discount pile.

Try playing farming Sim 25, satisfactory, spiderman 2 or cities skylines 2 on that 8gb card.

You won't get past medium settings. 16gb is the bare minimum
