Folding@Home not compatible with old GPUs, what Distributed Computing project can I put them towards?

I was huge into Folding@Home during my college years, but that's over a decade ago at this point. With Folding@Home tackling COVID-19 I decided to go ahead and install it on all the PCs here at my workplace. None of them are intended for Gaming so they're strictly running the Folding processes on CPUs and they're all over the place in regards to age. (Ranging between a Ryzen 3 2200G all the way to a few Pentium D CPUs)

 

Two of them have GPUs in them that are just for driving displays, but unfortunately they're a bit too old for Folding@Home's computations. Still, I'd love to use them for some form of Distributed Computing anyway. Does anyone have a project they can suggest that I can drop onto these GPUs while the computer's CPU handles Folding computations?

i'm going to be perfectly honest with you - they're going to be too old to be of much use to pretty much anything. sorry.

 

Thanks. Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
