"Your graphics processor is incompatible"

Question

Hi. With the latest PS update on PC, I'm finally running into a "graphics card incompatible" message when I start PS (non beta). I'm not surprises as I'm running quite old kit. I will be upgrading in a few months. But for now can anyone recommend a ["temporary"] graphics card I might get from eBay? Here are the specs. I can still run PS but slowly. I'm also running Lightroom which seems OK at present, and Resolve which I'm having to use an older version.
BOARD: ASROCK Z77 Pro4-M
16 GB RAM
Windows 10 PRO
i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz 4 cores
GPU NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 NVIDIA
"Your graphics processor is incompatible
Feature Level 11.0 available, feature level 12.0 required
AVALIABLE: Open GL, Open CL, DirectX"

Thanks very much.

Since you'll be upgrading in a few months, you might want to try these:

Go to Preferences > Technology Previews > Enable "Deactivate Native Canvas" > Restart Photoshop
This is for GPUs that do not support DirectX 12
Use the previous version of Photoshop that worked for you.

Also note that "in a few months" on the first day of Adobe MAX (Oct 8), the new version is likely to be released, and it may or may not have different system requirements.
