That is neither old nor shitty, it's less than 18 months old so should be able to play Xonotic OK on lower settings with the onboard graphics.

Take a look at this wiki page, all of the systems you see listed as 'Sandy Bridge' are the same generation CPU/iGPU as yours. OK, some may be a little faster but it should give you some idea of what is possible:

What I would however suggest if you are serious about playing games is to upgrade to a separate graphics card. This does not need to be expensive, a Geforce GTX650 is €100 and would allow you to play the game on Ultra settings. If you do not want to spend so much money then even a €30 card will allow you to run the game on high settings. You have a fast enough CPU that the performance increase will be massive and Xonotic will feel like a whole new game for less than the price you'd pay for a commercial game.

Your CPU is roughly as powerful as my 5 year old E8200 which with a 9600GT (also 5 years old) can get over 300fps on Low settings and over 80 on Ultra. This is the sort of performance difference you could be getting for not much money.

Tweaking r_wtf and cl_make_everything_look_like_it_was_drawn_in_paint will only get you marginal increases, a hardware upgrade will give you massive improvements.
