[NAME]   - You can check out UserBenchMark to see what GPUs others have used in the Studio XPS 8000.  Looks like some use the 1050Ti so it does work, even though it's PCI-e Gen 3, but probably not at its full capabilities because it will be limited by the speed of the PCI-e Gen 2 motherboard. Happy shopping!  
I'm looking for a recommendation for a graphics card. I currently have NVidia Quadro 2000 with 1gb memory. I have some photographic software and the their support recommends at least 4gb, 6gb or more for "optimum performance", so I'm seeing if I can fit something like that into my my XPS8000. The card can't be longer than 7.5" as it'll start messing with the disk cables too much.  When I look at the specs for better cards, it's not clear to me whether they'll be suitable. I think I'm OK with dual-width, as the adjacent slot is empty, but what about the power requirements?

Studio XPS 8000, suitable video card upgrade?
