Dell support site does provide system specifications which included graphics cards specifications for each computer models. To learn of which suitable video card is supported and validated with your XPS, we will need the specific computer model, it's usually imprinted on the front panel.

Start by providing your computer model number
Also check your invoice for the power supply and let us know the wattage it supports

is that the original card from the PC? Honestly, you would be better off getting a whole new PC. If we are dealing with the original system that is from 2012. So ivy bridge, i3- i7 3xxxx series. Thats 13 years old.

@DELL-Chris M as I deducted the system is from 2012, sadly even with a GPU upgrade, it's going to be bottlenecked . Granted at least the PSU is pretty standard so any 5.9-inch PSU will do. Apevia ATX-PR600W Prestige 600W 80+ Gold Certified PSU. Should be fine with any lower-budget GPU since anything you stick in there is going to be severely bottlenecked. Honestly, a 4060 / TI would be just fine for photoshop.
