I have a Dell XPS about 9 years old with a single PCI Express 16x slot. Want to avoid buying a PSU if possible so I'm looking at buying this card:

Will it work? Will there be any bottlenecking to be concerned about Thanks in advance!

It'll probably bottleneck.
Still better than not bottlenecking.
