Question Old Intel 4600 iGPU and Photoshop ?

[zulubanshee]

Background:
I need to use a feature in Photoshop called Oil Paint.
I have been using this feature for a year and suddenly it has stopped working.
The card I am using is integrated (Intel 4600) is not compatible with Photoshop, but I have been using this card for a while and it's been working fine.
I have checked "Use Graphics Processor to Accelerate Computation" but OpenCL is greyed out.
The graphics driver is very old and not updateable. It's a Dell computer with no separate dGPU.

So to get to my question:
I'm willing to spring for a new card, but is there anything else I need to know
Will this OpenCL thing still be a problem? I have already installed some OpenCL Compatibility utility but it did nothing.
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
RAM: 32GB
Windows 10 22H2
Make: Dell

Dell is the brand of the machine, what is the model/SKU to said prebuilt?

How much are you willing to spend on your GPU purchase? What is your preferred site for purchase?

the model is Dell Optiplex 9020 Desktop PC

I was going to spend $100 but looks like I will have to spend at least $150. I purchase most stuff from Amazon, but I'm open to other recommended sites.

What else changed when it stopped working?

Nothing that I know of. Maybe OS update.

Generally, if it was working and now not, something changed.

I don't know what might have changed with my system to be honest.

In any event, do you think if I bought a compatible graphics card it will solve the problem?

I don't know what to make of the OpenCL thing though.

Unknown, because we do not know why it is now 'not working'.

Identify the problem before applying a solution.
