Hello,
I would say yes, as for which card is in part based on which kind of T1700 you have. The normal one handles up to 150w as gpu, while the small form factor has a 50w limit.
This is a list of all cards working with Solidworks 2025

Personally I would look for a quadro P620 or T600 ( both are under 50W, with the T600 being newer than the P620 ) due to the age of the computer, but if you want to go contemporary and spend a bit more, there are the rtx A400 and the rtx A1000 that work with 50W

@JP-Ibex that info sadly doesn't help to understand if you have the normal one or the smaller chassis version.

@mazzinia_ As you noted, We have the same standard chassis shown in the picture (Normal Chassis), not a smaller one.

@mazzinia_ Which graphic card models are compatible with the T1700 (Normal Chassis) currently using a Quadro K600 (3GB)? We would like to upgrade the graphics card. Please advise.

Well, as I mentioned, the normal T1700 handles up to a max of 150W as gpu. And I don't think either of the 2 power supply originally sold with it have a cable to power a gpu (you can open and verify your situation) so... I would say a Nvidia RTX A2000 if you want to be cost efficient, or a Nvidia RTX Ada 2000 if you want to spend more.
Any other solution ( with a RTX A4000 or RTX Ada 4000 ) requires to provide also a 6pin power cable for the gpu or a 16pin power cable, so sourcing and replacing the psu
