What's weird is bitmining you'd want a more powerful CPU NOT GPU as what graphics are there in mining digital money? A better CPU would do it because GPU's are for multithreading with graphics like Blender or picky gamers who need that 80FPS in their games but bitconing is just making digital text with minimum graphics perhaps for spread sheet so you can do graphs but that would only need a decent onboard card.

Onboard cards have actually got pretty good for non high end gamey stuff.
