Dual GPU Worth it?

Hello,

An old separate workstation came to my posession (for free) and debating what to do with it. Either try to sell it for parts (or as a whole) or see if I can make use of any of the components.

The main component I may be interested in is the GPU. It's an Nvidia Quadro K4000.

Is it worth keeping and reusing in my current professional rig and add it as a secondary GPU in any way?

My current PC runs a GTX 1080, and while I can start to see that it's just starting to age, it still performs very well. I do a lot of Houdini work every day from home and do both sims & rendering tasks.
I also do realtime work in Unreal Engine.

Thanks!

No, not in any way. That card is too old and low end to be of any use as a secondary card.

That was my initial thought, but thought it may be worth checking just in case I could leverage it in some way I wasn't aware of. Thanks!
