Dell Precision T3500 GPU upgrade help.

[gnompy]

I have a Dell Precision T3500 fully working PC with a Quadro 600, 12GB DDR3 ram , an upgraded mother board with PCI-E 2.0 support and a 525W power supply. I have taken an interest in gaming , specifically overwatch and battlefield. Obviously I have to run both at low settings and even then only just scraping 50 fps on overwatch and 24fps on BF1. I need to know what GPu I can upgrade to given my specifications of my PC. I want I play both games at hopefully max with 60+ fps on BF1 and 90+ on overwatch. I do have a tight budget. I am willing to pay £100 - £200 on this upgrade. I know that is a tight budget but both games don't take GTX 1080'S to run so yeah. As well as that, i also use Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects and Cinema4D R14. Can this cards that you will suggest do all of those programs fine? I know that most of them depend on the CPU mainly (i have a Intel Xeon W3550).That is about all I can say but I hope you can help me. Thanks!

You should be able to run a 1060 card without much issues with your CPU, but you may want to check with nVidia support and see if it will work on your motherboard. Some older systems can't run new video cards.

If you can extend your budget just a little bit, you can get the new GTX 1050.

You're not going to get 60 FPS @ max settings on BF1 with your budget, and probably not with that CPU even with a decent enough GPU.

Okay. I just want a playable performance and if a new game comes out and I wanna play it then i know I can at 40-60+ fps. Can I do that with a GTX 1060? I want the cheapest option! I don't care if it's AMD or nVidia. I just honestly bored of saving so long and then changing my mind. It's really between the RX 470 or the GtX 1060 or the GTX 1050 ti. Yup just go with the 1060 right, but it costs a lot. I need to play Overwatch, maybe dishonoured 2. I need a card

1060 should do it no problem. At that performance point, the CPU would be holding you back.

If you want to play some new games at 40-60 fps you will need more than a 1060, depending on your resolution and settings you want, and your older CPU will hold you back. If you want to make sure the video card is not the bottleneck in your system a 1060 would be better than the cheaper cards, but the RX470 or the 1050 Ti are still good cards, a lot better than the Quadro you are using, just don't expect them to handle high FPS on future games as well.

Not a Precision; I've got a 1060 running in a homebuilt Sandy Bridge system. PCIE 2.0.

Have read about several people running 1060 in their Dell T3500 without issues. Running a MSI rx480 gaming X in mine, one of the most power hungry card out there, so I know the PSU can handle it.

You will probably have to remove a few pieces in the case to make room for the card. Very simple. Only a matter of a few screws.
