AGA, does GeForce RTX 2080 Super work/fit?
Looking over the Supported Graphics Card list offered by Dell and Alienware for the AGA (Alienware Graphics Amplifier), it certainly specifies the RTX 2080 Ti and the RTX 2080. However, I cannot find the RTX 2080 as a reliable purchase option on NVIDIA's website, and it almost seems like the 2080 Super is a direct replacement for the normal RTX 2080. Is this true? And most importantly, does that mean it would work with, and even if not would it simply in general work with an AGA?

@MiracleMonty The Super line of GPUs are indeed direct replacements for the original non-Super versions, since they're nearly the same cost and offer a moderate to significant performance boost, depending on the specific Super under discussion (the 1650 Super is a huge improvement over the 1650, for example). The Alienware Graphics Amplifier supports up to full-length, full-height, and double-width GPUs. Those are industry standard dimensional terms, and I'm not aware of any GPUs that exceed those size specifications. So while I haven't personally tested a 2080 Super in an AGA, if the 2080 works and the more powerful 2080 Ti also works, I can't imagine why the 2080 Super wouldn't.

Yes it does @MiracleMonty,
dont worry about power and thermal though. It has enough cooling inside the miniature case to keep its cool.
