XPS 8930, Graphics Upgrade Options for RTX 2060 Super

I've read several other posts on here about graphics cards upgrades for the XPS 8930, which I have at the moment. Currently I have the OEM GTX 1660 Ti that came with the system which is an open single fan model, not a blower style. I'm trying to find an RTX 2060 Super (though they seem to be getting harder to find at the normal price) to upgrade my system for better gaming performance, now and in the future. My system currently has the air cooled i5-9400, and the OEM top fan, as I've done no modifications. The single fan seems to run pretty well, though temps can get as high as 82C. My question is, if I were to upgrade, what options do I have for this card that would suit my system well, without creating even more heat that my current OEM card currently does? I've seen many of the 2060 Supers are dual fan open cards, and there are very few blower options unless you look above $500. I do not believe I've seen any RTX 2060 Supers with a single fan like my 1660 Ti. Would an ordinary dual fan 2060 Super be fine in this case, or would it create issues? Also, if the blower style is all that would be ok, where could I get one, as they are hard to find? I would prefer a shorter card, as I've discovered the Dell OEM RTX 2060 Super is in fact a single fan open card much like my 1660 Ti. However, currenlty I know of no way to get one of those, unless ebay, but at the moment the only one they seem to have is the OEM normal 2060 from Dell. I guess another question would be, can OEM Dell cards be purchased from Dell? I know the Supers were an option for the 8930's, but at the time I didn't want to add to the price. Now I could swing one, but again I'm not sure that's even possible to get one without ordering a whole new system. Any info or advice for the 2060 Super would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm still wondering about aftermarket cards in the RTX 2060 Super range. Anyone have any advice?

Hi, @SevL ,

 

I can't answer your query directly, but I would suggest that you simply search this Forum for "RTX 2060", as there are a number of queries over this!

 

One issue might be relevant is that the use of a non-DELL RTX 2060 might be pushing the Limits of the inbuilt 460W PSU (Dell always argue that their Graphics Cards are finely tuned & use less Power)!!

 

Obviously, if you still want to proceed, there are lots & lots of discussion about upgrading the PSU to a 7560W (or higher) After-Market PSU!
