Yeah I wouldn't hold my breath on an update.

The surprising part is, that gateway still exists. o.o I haven't actually heard about the company in at-least 10 years.

Still some options could be to get another LGA1155 motherboard and swap it out. (You could get a Dual-GPU capable board.)
Or swap the PSU out and go with a higher-end Radeon.

The Quad-Core Sandy Bridge3.0-3.3ghz  CPU is still pretty potent, so it makes sense to stick with it.

Went over these options with him, he may just build a new rig.

Gateway is still around but basically only because Acer now own them, the DX4870 he has is actually marketed as a Acer Aspire 1xxx series desktop pc (rebadged).
