Need an anti-sag plastic bracket for new Graphics card
XPS 8700
I replaced the AMD Radeon R9 270 that came with the PC with a GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB Graphics Card based on the recommendations here. Card works great! However, the power supply for the new card faces out from the motherboard whereas the old card's supply faces sideways toward the from of the machine. This interferes with the existing anti-sag plastic support bracket. Can't seem to find one that will work. I may use one of those little magnetic support legs.

you can use a generic gpu brace to replace the Dell oem gpu bracket specifically designed for 8700/8500/8300.

yes that is one of the downside of using standard retail part to replace Dell oem part. the bracket design did not consider the possibility of interference with side facing pcie pwr connector of gpu. the recommendation in community may overlook this kind of practical mechanical issue and is usu focused on overall system compatibility.
