XPS 8930, multiple video cards?

Can you have two NVIDIA 1080 videos cards in an XPS 8930? The power supply has been upgraded. I am trying to drive 6 monitors from the box without a splitter?

No. See the FAQ XPS 8930. The motherboard only has one PCIe x16 video card slot.

Re: I am trying to drive 6 monitors from the box without a splitter?

you do not need two discrete video cards to support 6 monitors.

onboard video port: hdmi + DP

discrete video card: RTX 2070 Super, DP x4

Video / Graphics Graphics card, RTX, 2070, SUPER, VBIOS

CRD, GRPHC, 2070S, CML, R11

Yes you can install two discrete video cards in 8930, first card in the top PCIe x 16 slot, second one has to be a single slot width card w low profile heatsink in the bottom PCIe x 4 slot which has an open end.

second card can be a GT730 to give you three more video ports.
