the top cpu in xps 8100 is i7-870
Your processor is too weak for this graphic card.
Intel Core i7-870 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce 44.39% of bottleneck. Everything over 10% is considered as bottleneck.

also
Intel Core i7-860 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce only 2.32% of bottleneck.
Intel Core i7-860 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce 15.93% of bottleneck. Everything over 10% is considered as bottleneck.

If they physically fit (and you have available PCIe-Power-Cables) my guess is ether the Nvidia-970 or even the GTX-1060 will work.
I believe the XPS-8100 is non-UEFI (ie Legacy) BIOS/motherboard ... just like my old Alienware Aurora-R1 with Intel i7-930. Mine is still running great with a GTX-1070. I can run Fallout-4, Fallout-76, and Forza-4 on it with no problems at 1080p.

The GTX-1070 ended-up being much better, faster, and gaming-capable than it's original AMD-5870.
Finally, to offset the CPU-speed (and other older components) your bootable C-Drive should be a SATA-SSD.

I have a XPS 8000 with an i7-870 and 16GB RAM. I am running a GTX 1060 6GB and have had great results with it. Running RivaTunerStats, the CPU doesn't seem to be much of a bottleneck at all. Most of the time, the GPU utilization is at a higher percentage than the CPU. I was running a GTX 1050 Ti and have noticed a performance improvement between the two cards. Keep in mind that the 1050 Ti has 4GB of RAM, while the 1060 has either 3 or 6. You definitely would want to go with the 6GB. This is just my own personal experience, but it is actual experience and not just quoting stats.
