We have minimum specifications we meet for our software (games) and a suite of old desktops (that I occasionally have to go kick) that run CI performance tests for us. It's not much investment, outside of the initial setup and generating test cases / automation, but it's been worth it for us. It's helped us find a lot of problems over the years.
