Dell 8950: GPU Clearance Space

Question

Dell 8950

Couldn't find this info in any searches.

Does anyone know the clearance space for GPUs both length and width? Will it fit 3 fans and/or double width?

I already have the specs of the Dell GPUs but they are two fan models. I want to know if I could fit a 3 fan GPU. I was specifically looking at either the AMD 6900XT or the 3090 in a 3 fan model.

Re: I was specifically looking at either the AMD 6900XT or the 3090 in a 3 fan model.

evidence of XPS 8940 user validated RTX 3090 model EVGA (3842 3982) which is EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra V2, it appears to be a 3 fan model. Dimensions · Height: 5.38 in - 136.75mm · Length: 11.81 in - 300mm · Width: 2.75 Slots

8950 chassis is much deeper than 8940, 427 mm vs 308 mm, and a bit wider too, 173 mm vs 169 mm. if a three fan EVGA 3090 can fit 8940, should have no problem in 8950 given the latter‘s ~120 mm extra depth or length.

or the Nvidia 3090 in a 3 fan model.

The Nvidia RTX-3090 would not be a good match for the XPS-8950 even if it did fit.

Because of the cooling space and likely the PowerSupply amps
