Go to SolutionOptiPlex 3080 MT: Optional 3rd video port
Hello
On the OptiPlex 3080 MT, the way to output video is through:
I. One DisplayPort 1.4 (back)
II. An HDMI 1.4 port (back)
III. An optional 3rd video port (VGA / DP 1.4 / HDMI 2.0b)
How can we add a 3rd video port?
Is there a connection socket on the motherboard?
Thank you in advance
I'm not Dell and I dont work for dell.
I would PM @DELL-Cares or post that question separately on the customer care forum.

There are also Video card options.

Although 3080 has a USB type C port, apparently there is no video signal connected to that port. The only way to get video out is through One Optional 3rd Video Port (VGA/DP 1.4/HDMI 2.0b) to connect 3 monitors, either have the optional 3rd video port, or get a monitor that has DP in and DP out port and daisy chain it.
