Power question: in my T3500, Can I replace Nvidia Quadro 600 with Quadro k2200 w/no power issues?
Basic question is whether I can replace my Quadro 600 with a Quadro K2200 in my T3500 workstation without smoke and sparks.
Having trouble finding complete-enough specs.
The k2200 wants 68W TDP and Nvidia suggests a 250W power supply with that GPU.
But I don't know key parameters:
1. PCI-E I'm assuming is 5V or 3V or both, but can't find voltage spec
2. Nvidia spec - is it overall power supply wattage (out of T3500's total available 525W)?
3. Or is the K2200 power spec telling me 5V/3V wattage, where my power supply gives me only 150W?
No Events found!

Yes, your system should support and handle the slot powered Quadro K2200 fine.
Review the benchmark site linked below and you will find that other users are using P2000, P2200 in their T3500. Those cards are slot powered and up to 75w.

Glad to help out and you can select helpful post to mark as accepted answer.
The K2200 is a very good graphics card and matching performance with your T3500 with the least bottleneck.

Thanks, Chino de Oro, and many thanks for the benchmark link, which I immediately bookmarked. My T3500 is now long of tooth and will doubtless need some bits and pieces before long.

I personally run a gtx 1060 6gb without any problem with the original t3500 power supply
Quadro K2200 vs GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB

@AnonQC Thanks. A future consideration, based on ebay searches - the gtx is running 3-4x asking price of K2200. Though my needs are pretty modest, as I'm using the GPU for image graphical editing and rendering of a static image, more or less like you'd need for CAD or old-style 3D rendering program.
Should I be worried by the large number of "parts only" offerings for the gtx 1060? (There are none fat the moment or the k2200... possibly because it has sunk so low in estimation that nobody would want to cobble a k2000 from parts.)
