You're talking as though we're talking about Crysis here :P
It's pretty much guaranteed any GPU people are using today is more than enough. Unless you bought it from a museum or an antique shop :D
I've never found the graphics that intensive. I found switching from a mechanical drive to an SSD to be way more advantageous than when I switched from the HD 7970 to an RX 580, i saw literally zero performance boost from upgrading GPU, but did from mechanical to SSD. Also when I upgraded RAM (speeds that is, not amount). To a lesser amount, I saw mild improvements when switching from an FX 8350 to a Ryzen too. But not GPU, because my old GPU was good enough, and that was ancient by today's standards.
The game is from dinosaur times compared to today now, unless your GPU was made literally in the stone age, moulded from soft rock banged against a flint stone tool it shouldn't have any problems.
I can't reiterate it enough, the problem is the 32bit binary. You can have a 5 year old computer or a computer from the future, you'll still always be limited to 4gb memory. There's literally nothing you can do about it and it will cause lag and freezes and sometimes crashes as your world gets older and bigger. GPU won't make a difference to it.
