Welcome to the Dell Community @NotBruceLeroy
To better assist you, the members and I would need the exact model number of your laptop/desktop???
Identify your Dell:

Your GPU is soldered to the motherboard so you are not able to upgrade the card. You have 2 options;
1. Use an Alienware Graphics Amplifier in conjunction with a desktop GPU
2. Replace your motherboard with the RTX 2080 model
