XPS 8700, graphics card upgrade, worthwhile?
Hi!
I've found others with the same question but they were older posts. I'd LOVE to get a better card. I tried one over a year ago which did not work. I know this is an older machine, but is there any card I can upgrade too that will improve my graphics enough to make it worthwhile?
Here is my info below and what I tried:
MY MACHINE
Dell XPS 8700 X8700-3312BLK Desktop
Windows 7 Professional
Memory 32GB (Upgraded from 1) Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz - 4 DIMMs
Video Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 4GB DDR3
ATTEMPTED UPGRADE TO: MSI GAMING RX 480 GDD R5 8GB DID NOT WORK. CRASHED MY MACHINE.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

That looks awesome... is the GTX 1070 about as cheap as I will get for something that makes a noticeable difference? I'm planning on a new machine next year.

UserBenchmark is so much better than GPUboss.
